Blog #15
So I have been absolutely horrible about this whole blog thing! I had better get a move on and get them all done really quick so here it goes! For one of my classes recently I had the assignment of watching the Pursuit of Happyness. I watched it with my wife, and it was the first time either of us had seen it.  I found it to be one of my favorite movies that I had seen in a long time.  I started just chatting with her about it to get some opinions for the assignment that I had to do.  She talked about how much she loved the movie and how real it felt.  She mentioned of how sheltered we really are here in Utah.  You dont see a lot of extreme poverty or people fighting to get shelter and food.  She talked about never having to worry about being out on the street her whole life.  It was a very genuine movie and touched her very deep.  I have noticed since we watched that movie, she has started valuing things in her life more.  She doesn't ever take something for granted, she always cherishes it.  She is always worried that our kids won't have what they need and is always looking out for their best interests.  How often do you get a movie that can teach you a life lesson that can be so important? Movies are changing quickly to the violence or sex and we dont get many of the important soul searching movies anymore.  That's why I took this one to heart so much and so did my wife.  I would rather take that to heart than the other crap that we could be watching.  All in all, I think we both saw the same values in the movie and enjoyed it.
