"Je l'aime pas comme toi."

So we just watched Un Amour à Taire, which is a French TV movie about France under the Vichy Government, more specifically about the treatment of homosexuals back then. (And, incidentally, it's with Jérémie Rénier and Bruno Todeschini, who I love. And many other very good actors.) It was very moving, incredibly well-written, and I was just amazed, in a very good way, that French television would actually show this, and in prime time too (it was shown in prime time, wasn't it?). I mean, it was just so sensibly, and sensitively done. And you just saw that couple, and they were both guys, but it didn't matter - plotwise it did, of course, but I mean in the way they were shot. They kissed and laughed and were happy and treated like a heterosexual couple, really.

The film itself was just amazing, beyond that. I particularly liked the character of the brother (who really made me think of Ben Browder physically, for the pointless remark), who was just so misguided. But he was a good kid, deep down, he was just misguided, he didn't know how to go about things. The whole film is quite the tragedy, with its beautiful and funny and light-hearted moments, but a tragedy all the same. And I do love a good tragedy.

So, yodah? Thanks. So much.

Other than that, finally saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! I really enjoyed myself. It's not my favourite Burton of all (far from it), but it was very enjoyable. And I need to get the soundtrack, Danny Elfman has all my love. And the fact that the Oompa Loompas were played by Deep Roy did not make them any less freaky. I remember being creeped out by his character in X-Files!

It's good to be back with Jo.
