Apr. 8th, 2012 11:00 pmToday was Easter, which we celebrated in a pretty low key way with Bear’s family. There are no small children, so I heard a lot of stories of finding baskets from Bear’s childhood, but there are not really those traditions around. We just pretty much went to his Grandma’s nursing home and played card games while watching a religious channel with the surprisingly interesting biography of an Archbishop. And we all had Easter dinner at Bear’s house in the evening.
I did finish watching the episode of Grimm with the bird egg, which I liked as usual, especially the look on Nick’s face when he realizes he sees a creature on vacation (“not again” look).
The best part, though, was going to see Titanic in the evening to get out of the house and also to see the movie. Bear had never seen it on the big screen and he surprisingly agreed to go when I asked him and I haven’t seen it in a while. When the movie originally came out, I was 17 and seen it during opening weekend, before there was even hype. And it still holds the record for the movie I’ve seen most often on the big screen. I’ve seen it three times during the original run, although the last time, I sort of snuck in after watching another movie. And watching it today reminded me why I loved it so much. (“Dirty Dancing” is still my favorite movie, but I do really like this one.) Bear had only seen it once - when we were eighteen and just started dating and he was, of course, game for anything I wanted to watch.
“Titanic” It is even better in 3D – I could see the details of the dresses and it felt even more visceral. This was actually the first time I’ve seen a movie in 3D where I felt the 3D truly added something and was so not just there. Now, Leo is not my type, so it was never about the love story for me, not even when I was 17. Besides, it is only love story because he dies – so she elevated her rebellion fling to something grander. The story for me was always about Rose and her finding herself and finding her own path. So the scene I get teary at, every time I watch this movie is the photograph scene at the end where we see her full and happy life.
