Marital musings

[prickster]

Marriage seems like a really hot topic these days.

First there was that PIDC Quarterfinals motion on legalizing polygamy, followed by the news the next day about the raid of a polygamist house somewhere in the U.S.

Then yesterday I saw The Other Boleyn Girl. The movie's a must-see, by the way. I'm not much of a history buff, much less a European

I was reading that book 6 months ago but I didn't finish.

Oh, well.

I didn't like Boleyn. I thought it was "Popularized" to cater to the movie-going audience. (Turns out, I was right, as my sister told me that it was very different from the book). Catherine's character could've been so much more. The movie turned out to be mainly about sex and power, which I think, shouldn't have been the case, in the first place.

Anyway, at least that movie was a bit decent. No Country For Old Men (won Best Picture at this year's Oscars) was crappy as hell.

The movie was mainly about desire and power. If not that, then what should it have been about?

I can't really compare it to the book, but if it was modified to pander to the movie-going audience, it wasn't done so distastefully. But then again that's just my taste. De gustibus non est disputandum.
