no.117 Charlotte Gray

What would our lives be like if war actually came upon American shores? I can't imagine the upheaval in our daily routine, the fear. I don't think Americans could cope, adjust, period. We're too soft. It blows my mind to think about the devastation in Europe during WWII (and Japan), yet alone to see the rebuild.

I enjoyed the film, but it just made me think how we are so not equipped for real war in this country. As always, Cate Blanchett is stunning and a good pair with the gorgeous Billy Crudup.

Oh yeah - totally felt like I was heading to Hogwarts and was looking for the blue Anglia to appear. That and Michael Gambon...
