La vita è bella

The sunset last week.. gorgeous. The sun doesn't set fully here until after 10pm sometime. It's really disturbing!

Well, have been settling in to the apartment (sorry, didn't get around to posting pics yet) still loving having somewhere to call "home" for a while. I even got some mail today (thanks Adeline! Love the snap) which makes it feel even more like home.

Having a night in and just watched La Vita e` bella (Life is Beautiful), one of my most favourite movies. I first watched it with my year 12 yeargroup on a camp in the city, was thoroughly moved by it and still am. If you haven't seen it yet, I totally recommend it. Preferably with subtitles instead of English dubbing to get a better effect. I don't know why Riverview hasn't done it yet as a message as I think it's the best depiction of a father's love for his son that I've ever seen in a movie. A remarkable display of the human spirit and sacrifice. It's also amazingly funny :) Quite the mix huh? Have I got you busting to go rent it out?! Hope so :) If you have seen it, here's a question: would you do what Dora did in her place?

An amazing movie, so moving. I love it. Ok, it's not totally happy-happy-joy-joy, but it's about the real stuff, you know?


I hope someone's seen it that can comment :)

Loooove that film! What great taste you have Kel...I saw it with my hubby & we couldn't stop talking about it afterwards. The lengths that the father went to just to protect his kids. Wow.
