I realize that there seem to be two general types of blog
entries I write, as far as what people seem to prefer to see. One type is the
friendly, interpersonally oriented type, often a movie review. The other type
often reflects “war stories”—which I don’t lack for, but which some might feel
a little tough going; times being what they are, some might prefer more of a
little fun and humor.
In the works, I have two relatively friendly entries, both
movie reviews, and both starring young female actresses, though you wouldn’t
think they were such fun from the category I feel they could fall under:
“Beowulfian Protestantism” (“Beowulf” being the chief character of the
same-titled Old English saga/poem). These two movie reviews are on The Crucible (1996) and Winter’s Bone (2010).
As it turns out, both of these relate to wider themes
(respectively)—themes encompassing other movies and ideas—that I’ve been
cooking up.
Crucible-related
For instance, The
Crucible relates to three people who have turned out to seem suitable to their
own themed entries: two are actor Daniel Day-Lewis, who is in The Crucible and whom I’ve thought I
could write something on, covering several movies; and Winona Ryder, who of
course I’ve already covered. But also, I had written something on The Age of Innocence (1993) (which
happens to star both Day-Lewis and Ryder), because I watched it in preparing
for my earlier Girl, Interrupted
entry, but found I didn’t care for it. But I thought this review could better
be part of one that addresses director Martin Scorsese, for whose review I
would need to watch several other movies first.
So, while the Crucible
review is coming, in the further future, I could cover Day-Lewis and Scorsese.
Winter’s Bone-related
