Do you ever get a sense that life in the movies is often more interesting than real life? Do you watch films where good looking people in nice clothes meet interesting people and exciting things happen to them? It is so, in some movies like most French ones where one walks down the street, and one begins an amazing conversation with a total stranger, and a great tale of adventure awaits. But not many French films have happy endings. Think of some Hollywood ones where good people are perfect, and they deservedly end up well. And the bad ones, as there are always some, are found out and punished perhaps to teach us a lesson that evil cannot go far. And we all know how true that is in real life, don’t we?
And I like that. I wish life were like what it is in some of these movies for most of the wonderful people around me, those who struggle against all odds and horrible things keep happening to them. I like to think that all is well or it ends well. I guess what I am saying is that I am in the mood for a lie. Tell me a lie, Will you?
