Debbie, yes, what ostensibly seems boring is just calm. Aaahhh.

Debbie! Loved this post! I didn’t think of it as name dropping. It felt more like a tip of the hat to artists that you admire! (And, a terrific reading list, too!)

Thanks so much for writing this – it is exactly the way I would have expected you (and me) to react given the opportunity to meet Lisa.

Blessings on your journey!

I wasn’t sure I wanted to see Inception (other reviews make it sound exhaustingly conceptual), but now you’ve made me curious with your review. Thanks for your insightful perspective, in evidence here as well as your other recent posts!

Well, Priscilla, remembering the other night, you seem to be well on your way! I am so looking forward to reading your book. In the meantime, I hope people check out your website: thislivelyearth.com. Thanks for taking the time to visit.

Debbie, I love your attitude here! I didn’t see the movie, but I totally agree about innocent savants. A little too pure. Same with wise women, especially wise young women. Give me an old broad who knows her way around the block! Extra points if she has a mouth on her. I’m still hoping to learn that one.

Thanks, Mel.
I was actually thinking of someone more in their 30′s, with at least a hint of experience, even if ironed out with botox. Page’s skin is so flawless and youthful, it shines.

Deb, you make such great points about the wise-beyond-her-years Ellen Page. She played a similar type in Juno, a script written by a woman. I think Holllywood is tempted to infuse young women with buckets of wisdom because then they get the double-whammy box office benefit of a strong female lead who will appeal to the women in the audience who cry out for strong female leads and the hot young lead who will appeal to the 18 to 24-year-old males in the audience who will be lured to the theatre by the promise of a hot young lead.
Was there romance between Ellen and one of the male characters? If yes, how would it have resonated with you if, instead of Ellen, a 40something actress such as Julianne Moore or Laura Linney were cast?
Love your reviews. Keep ‘em coming!

Thanks for reading and for the compliments, Mel.

You mean I can blame chemicals for my lack of brain power? I usually don’t go there because the psyche gives a much better story, but this time, I will accept the explanation with gusto. What an aptly named chemical, too. Dopamine makes me dopey. Is that what makes the grief brain so absent-minded, too?

Oh, and here’s a twist. I actually have met families where “short” or “small” is a great compliment (being the runt in our family, I LOVE this concept). From the perspective of our family of redwoods, who would have thought? So I don’t think she took my height comment with anything but a laugh.
