Kosher Dills
A few quick things for today. Just cause I feel like it.
My brother and I are in a bit of a pickle. I am golfing tomorrow. I have no idea if I’ll be playing nine or eighteen holes but will most likely be playing till the early afternoon. My brother has a party tomorrow night in Ft. Collins. Somwhere in between we have to fit in my Grandma’s 91st birthday. The golf course, the party, and my grandma are all at least an hour away from each other. We might be able to pull it off somehow, but if were not in a pickle, the lid sure is on tight. The great part is I know it’ll work out somehow and we’ll all be crunchin’ on kosher dills.
Last night I rented Great Expectations. I read the book years ago in a long defunct book club of friends, that lastest a whole two books. I think Dickens Great Expectations may have wiped everyone out. Anyway, I thought it was a good book so I tried out the movie. I was expecting a period piece but the story was very modernized. Pip was called Finn. Gwyneth was fairly revealing (yummmm). And overall it was done pretty good. I’d recommend it.
I have a couples wedding shower tonight. Let the sillyness begin. Blech.

it wasn’t very much like the book, though……maybe they did that on purpose.
did you notice how the color green was used a lot in the film?

No, it wasn’t very much like the book. I read the book about five or six years ago so I’m sure I wasn’t able to pick out many of the minor descrepancies. But the time and place as well as Pip’s occupation and friends and demeanor were all very modernized. The skeleton of tthe plot remained intact though.
Actually, I did notice the green but it didn’t register with me till you mentioned it. Estella wore a green dress as a child and then in the end her daughter was wearing green. Lot’s of plants and flora in the Florida scenes too. Does it symbolize anything? Growth, change?

well….it sort of did…..i dunno. i’m anal when it comes to film interpretation.
not sure what green signifies but watch it again……there’s green in nearly every scene. same goes for ’sixth sense’…..there’s red in important scenes.

I saw the directors commentary on The Sixth Sense and the commented on how red becomes a prominant color right before the boy sees dead people. Also interesting is that Bruce Willis’ charater never interacts with the physical environment (opens doors, moves chairs, etc.)
