Living Life is a terrific movie. Hearty congratulations to Jesse. My wife was observed to get her handkerchief out, a rarity, and I was pleased to produce considerable optical flow, since my ophthalmologist says I have "dry eyes" and should use artificial tears. Jesse brought together a number of plot items that we could react to. One of our granddaughters did a 4 week theater internship far from her Northern California home, but I don't know how this affected her romantic life, since she has professed no attachments. As older adults, we were interested to listen to the dialog among the high school students. My wife commented that the girlfriend in this movie "talks just like Megan" and wondered if training in theater does that. I suspected rather that many intelligent high-schoolers react negatively to the silliness that some classmates show, and speak in a very direct way as a consequence. The tension between the father and grandfather was a very interesting sub-plot because we have an adopted son who totally avoided us for years, but now has become reconciled. Life seems to be like that, but we really were amazed, both by the creative photography and by the maturity of direction, with many exchanges of feeling portrayed without words. I'll recommend to my kids and grandkids that they see this movie.
