Loving

This was a sweet, romantic movie. Like all of the reviews have noted, while it's clear that the reason we are watching a movie about these two people is because they filed the suits that led to anti-miscegenation laws being ruled unconstitutional in these United States, the story is about how much they loved each other.

I really like this story as a way of telling an interesting story about two people who are in love and in fundamental agreement with one another. ( more gushing about Loving; please, please, please go see it. it's great )

In less terrific media consumed this week, I was not impressed with The Shakespeare Theatre's production of The Secret Garden. Firstly, not having read about the musical and only basing my assumptions on some half-remembered dramatic films from my youth, I was not prepared for the dead Greek chorus. ( 2 more reasons it was not good )

I was pleased to see so many little girls in the audience. Hopefully, their taste is not developed enough for them to know that this play was not particularly good, and they'll ask to come back for Shakespearean comedy.

Anyway, I would skip this one, you guys. Go see Black Nativity instead, I saw it last year with my parents and it was terrific.
