The Village

Had a chance to finally watch The Village on my laptop tonight. I didn't really know what to expect as I had gotten a lot of mixed reviews from people, and I didn't really know the storyline.

I would have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. I did think that it was going to be more of a thriller than it was, but it was interesting to say the least.

I could definitely identify with the characters in the story who lied in order to perserve a more traditional lifestyle due to the chaos that society is generally in. I often feel the same way and contemplate about leaving it all behind to go and live in solitude. My place of solitude is the lake - we have power, but they is basically it - no tv, no phone, no running water, and we could definitely due without the microwave as we did for many years. Maybe one day.

Not a very exciting evening, but nice and quiet.
