-Elections gets faster at the end, but I and my computer usually don't. Hilarity ensues?
-Watched "Awakenings" for the first time since my early twenties(The very first time, I was in Wisconsin as a teen for my grandfather's funeral...realized that only 3 of the family members at that Waukesha multiplex is still in my life regularly. Sigh)
There's not really a reason to make a whole post about "Awakenings"...it's wet-eyed, if well-made inspiration porn, but a thought occurred to to me that would not have risen during the time when I was still trying to smother fantasies of quick-yet-permanent Betterment.
To wit: Is there a way to make the whole film a metaphor for how brief life(Not just crip life, but all life) is without making childhood some sort of grotty institution? Because that seems a little harsh.
