The Pity I'll Feel

Went and saw the movie The Squid and The Whale tonight.

Go see it! Awesome!

If you love Wes Anderson's films, this is for you. Full of melancholy, and pathos, and humor.

All about the ramifications of divorce.

Ok, maybe I'm prejudiced.

Still, I think you would love it. The thing is, I am prejudiced, and I loved it and hated it because of that.

By the movie's end, I was crying uncontrollably. Not because it is sad, rather because it is true.

I think I will always pity the case of a divorced person.

I understand the feeling of hate, born of love. You could be doing everything in your power to destroy a person, and still be doing it because you absolutely LOVE them.

The pathetic nobleness of that situation is sublimely beautiful to me. Maybe because I feel sometimes that I live it.

Anyway, I felt such empathy towards the movie, I say see it, and see for yourself. Tell me if you don't understand what I am talking about.

I don't need you to feel it too. I'll still cry without you.
