first of all, i would like to share the quote of the day:
"well, me and my detectives are much more well-educated."
second, i would like to share that i met a waitress today named pebble. i can safely say that, besides the cartoon character, i've never heard of someone named pebble.
spoiler- i'm basically about to give away the entire plot
i watched a movie yesterday called "the red balloon," or "le ballon rouge," as it was originally called. when i was younger i had a picture book version of this movie, and i alway
s loved it. the other day my dad mentioned that he watched it for a film appreciation class in college, so i decided to watch it. it had hardly any words, so the visuals were even more interesting. throughout the movie, the boy (pascal), is accompanied by a red balloon he finds tied around a light pole. it's kind of a magical balloon, you might say, as it follows him around the city of paris. eventually some boys corral the balloon to a hill, and stone the balloon to its death. after the balloon dies, all the balloons of the city are suddenly unleashed, and fly to the boy. the movie ends with the boy floating away over paris, holding on to an enormous amount of balloons. i figured that the balloon was some sort of symbol for goodness, and i read later that some believe it's alluding to Jesus. (fun fact- at one point the balloon is kicked out of a church). there's something about this film that's really great though. go watch it.
