It's dubious many of my favourite films come from the U.S. Maybe I'm just de-sensitized to classical Hollywood narrative.

And yes, Kristyn. People do surprise you.

I'm quite angry right now. I'm quite angry right now because someone has been violated, hurt and humiliated. And I know I'm mean and wrong for thinking this, but I want it to happen to the person who caused this hurt.

Ugh.

It's a funny thing about forgiveness. We can say we forgive, but we only truly mean it when we feel it in our heart.

How cheesy.

Moulin Rouge makes me happy...it's such a perfectly and classically crafted piece of film.

Sigh. I am angry, but content.
