Schultze...

My sister and I just came back from a movie night at a friend's house.
We rented a foreign film today which was called, are you ready for it,
"Schultze Gets the Blues" ...a German film!
The back of the cover said that it was a big German hit, and so we thought it would be a good way to brush up on our German speaking skills...with the luxury of english subtitles.

It was hard to brush up on our German skills when there was barely any speaking in the film.

It was 2 hours long...sehr lange. It probably would have been great if they cut out all the still shots that never ended...pretty long long long. (Maybe Germans are more patient than North Americans.)

As much as it was extremely long and at many moments not very exciting or even interesting, (except when you consider why they used the shots and angles that they did), I feel better about watching that, (with the exclusion of a few less than good lines) than I do about watching a crappy movie and feeling gross afterwards, or an unrealistic, super sappy, make-me-uncontent-with-my-life (or single status-because I am content otherwise) film. (And I usually feel the best not watching any movie at all to be honest.)

The Gnombs were a highlight.

A big hit in germany.

Goodnight.
