“God is a comedian performing for an audience afraid to laugh” is a quote from Francois Marie Arouet that has kept me thinking. Recently some of my friends were telling me tragic tales, stuff that I felt very sad and angry about I could feel the fire burning in my chest, I could feel my perspectives on issues altering, I could feel myself getting angry. What is interesting is that at the end of the conversation we were laughing. If there is something we are good at is laughing at very bad situations we are in.

To hit the nail on the head Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona is a beautiful film. This is not a hot film, it is not sexy, it is not cool, it is just beautiful. Beautiful in the way we explain vintage art or one of Mozart’s masterpieces. I say this movie is beautiful because it paints a raw picture of human love and the human situation, something many movies shy away from because of how sensitive and real it is, so we end up getting happily ever after love stories like “How to loose a guy in 10 days“.
