Good for you! I'm reading "War & Peace" for the first time in the traditional book format, and I'm actually switching back and forth between two translations (Pevear & Volokhonsky and Briggs), and it's very interesting to compare the different approaches. I don't own a Kindle yet but I'm thinking of getting one just to take advantage of all the classics I could get for free in the public domain.
I was kidding. ;)

I saw "My Week With Marilyn," and...........BRAVO, Michelle Williams. You deserve the Oscar too, if'n you win it. Kenneth Brannaugh did a superb job as Sir Laurence Olivier, too.

Well, you know, not every Oscar-nominated or Oscar-winning movie is going to be everyone's cup of tea. What I look for is a compelling storyline, and characters that make me feel for them and move me, somehow. I look for moving and natural performances. I found those things in this movie. But not everyone will. I remember when everyone and their brother and their dog thought "The Piano" was all that——and I found it creepy and disturbing. As well, "Dead Man Walking," although VERY well acted, left me with the most disturbing rape images that I was really sorry I went to see it. So.....again, not everyone's cup of tea.

It's a decent film, but I did not think that much of it, and, frankly, did not even enjoy it all that much. It's a decent film, with lots of beautiful scenery, and George Clooney does a decent acting job. I see where it is being lauded and considered a favorite for best drama or best picture as we move into award season - and I don't get why.
I heard a critic say that it really isn't a comedy nor is it a drama. It's a hybrid. I guess I would agree with that, but it appears to be more of a drama in the slice-of-life category. I did not find the humorous parts to be all that funny. On the drama side of the equation, I just did not connect with a message from the film. I usually assess more serious films by asking: What lesson or message did I take away from that movie? For this one, I can't isolate anything that I took away from it.
I haven't seen it, so I can't say.
But I wanted to suggest that maybe "what did I learn from this?" isn't the best question to ask after seeing a film. I think "was it a good story? Was it well-told? Did I enjoy it?" might be a better approach it.

He deserves the Oscar just for running in flip flops. What a dork. If HE can "act" like a dork, that's proof enough his acting skills deserve an award. Break me off a piece of him!!! Handsome and FUNNY.
