Initiatic American Journey

I'm on holiday!

I went to a boring training session yesterday (in Geography!) and I had only 3 hours of teaching this morning, so as soon as I left my colleagues,  after a last lunch at our favourite Chinese restaurant, I went to the movies in the afternoon...The sky was grey, kinda rainy, perfect to spend some time in a theatre. Of course I could have done some X-mas shopping...Could have, should have...

I saw Tommy Lee Jones ' modern western, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. Not a masterpiece, but definitely a good movie! I'm glad I saw it at last. There's some very interesting stuff in that film, and it shows that sometimes, in order to find a place you have to make it up. So actually a film about the Border and the contrasts that are apparent there, turned out to speak of the Frontier! A true western then, really worth-seeing.
