Right now I am reading a book highly recommended by Austin “The Pilgrim” Repath, and rightly so: All the Light We Cannot See.<br /><br />I have seen some wonderful movies this fall, including Spotlight (about journalists seeking the truth, as if their lives depended on it) and Room (about holding onto love and hope in the midst of fear and loss), both very powerful films. I also enjoyed Brooklyn and, less so, Bridge of Spies. The most recent film I have seen is The Danish Girl. This film has excellent acting, beautiful art direction and cinematography, and a very contemporary theme of the intermingling of who we present to the world, and who we really are. The leading character gave up literally everything to be true to herself. Who among us would have such courage?jpollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371705413632418267noreply@blogger.com
