Music-"Too Young"-Pheonix
Movie- The Fifth Element
Mood- undecided

Yesturday I had some time before the German version of American Idol
program aired. So I sat down to watch the movie "Der Englische
Patient" or "The English Patient". It was in German, but I was able
to understand what was being said and who the characters were. I had
never seen the film before then. I found the movie to be sad and
Tragic. Anyone who knows me, knows that I despise tragic films.
There is so much damn suffering in the world, I don´t wanna pay good
money and spend 2 hours of my life, seeing someone suffer. That´s
not my idea of entertainment. Then later on that night I
watched a movie with my host dad Jochen. The movie starred Whoopi
Goldberg and Billy Baldwin. I forget what it´s
called. But Whoopi plays the wife of a civil rights activist that
was killed in cold blood by a ku klux klan member. The murderer is
however aquited. Then several years later, Alec Baldwin, an attorney
from missisippi, takes the case. In the end the klan member, played
by James Wood, is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. I
found that to be an ironic form of justice. Because James Wood´s
character was already old. What the hell kind of punishment is life
in prison to an old man. At least he was found guilty for a crime
that he did commit. So I guess the story has a good ending.
