i didn't quite "get" the corpse bride,
except the dark bits-
costume, sets;
a few songs,
lots of screeching in the background,
loved the scissors hand prop.
since running the dvd while working-at-home,
the screeching=volume turned down(neighbours) -
so i missed all the dialogue.
must be akin to "having" children.
- only this fulm "lasted" a couple of hours.
oh - and the volume button

spielberg does kid-films really well imho -
empire of the sun being a terrific example,
the camera angles and tracking
evoking the main character's
experience of :
life outside the palace walls so-to-speak.
- what a kid !
did he start the war ?

what matter,
life in the raw, laundromat on location.
tearjerker ending seemed to be tacked on imho.
(the touching of the hair etc,
implying the unrealism of the kid's experiences, and actions since their last contact.

nurse TV is on local channel 31 -
volume down,
*humms "back to work,
back to stamp layers,
back to the here and now again"(lyrics soul2soul)*

big fish - am revisiting this one,
am bound to see it in transit.
firefly buses material suitable for
general consumption -
(parents can be so fussy about
what their children see in public places.
)
the kid character in
empire of the sun
developed into a role of human as
enterprising if not resourceful.

the effects of politicians' decisions
- on a personal level
