New Year's Movie

On New Year's Day I went to a movie with my one friend here. (She's from Thailand and her name is Dang.) We went to Australia. I was pretty excited as it was my first venture into the world of movies here in Denmark. I was mostly excited for that first whiff of popcorn as you walk into the theater. Alas, as we walked in, there was not whiff of popcorn buttery goodness--just coffee. It turns out that the foyer of the theater was more of a cafe than anything. Then, before we went into the theater there was this sign posted and I'm not sure but I think that it said, "Popcorn not allowed in the theater." My Danish isn't that great so, I could be wrong on that one. But once we got into the theater, I felt like we'd stepped back in time. There was a player piano at the front that was actually playing! Great way to set the mood. There were about 30 people at the 8:00 showing of the movie. And we had an intermission. I realize that this was probably because of the length of the movie--maybe someone that has seen it in the states could enlighten me--did you have an intermission? I thought those had gone out of style or become obsolete or something.

As far as the movie goes, I liked it. It had a similar feel of Gone with the Wind in that it didn't just have one plot line and end. When WWII started, there was kindof another story that imposed itself on the lives of the characters. Overall, I enjoyed it--you all know how much I love a good flick!
