I watched The Edukators (Die Fetten Jahre sind vorbei) today at the movies*. It was a lot better than I expected, and let me tell you, I had high expectations. I loved the build-up to the story's climax, and the way the movie made me care for the characters, all of them. I loved how it can be quite an eye-opener without being tedious, how yes, there were anti-captialism speeches, but they don't overpower the rest of the plot, or the fact that at its very core, the movie's about human nature and friendship and love and life. Great acting (Daniel Brühl!!! My God, how much can I love the man?), great music, good dialogue. I kinda spent the last half of the movie thinking 'THREESOME!!!' to myself. *shifty eyes* So, um, yeah, anyway, I loved the ending. Loved that it was unpredictable. Then I came home and watched my own copy of the movie (bits and bits, anyway), and there was an extra part that the didn't show at the cinema! Which is a shame because it was really great, and it made everything fall together. I just. I loved it. that's it. It left me with that great feeling in the belly, you know? When you're completely okay with the world. Also, did I mention that I adore Daniel Brühl? Because I do. So much. And this kinda-but-not-but-maybe love triangle hit all of my buttons.

*I've actually had it in my hard drive for a couple of months now, but there's an international cinema showing this week, and as soon as I saw that this was was going to be shown, I kinda said 'hell yeah'

Anyway, today I got cards from skies_of_honey and sarie_gamgee!! They're both soooo pretty and I feel all warm inside. Thanks so much, guys. :)) (Y Sarie, lástima que so se pudo lo de 'Salvador', porque la verdad si abrí tu carta toda emocionada como niña chiquita, jaja XD)
