Vancouver Film Festival, movie number 7

So, Tuesday night I went to see Close to Home. It was about two girls who had to join the Isreal army as soon as they turned 18 (appartently this is madatory as soon as you turn 18, male or female, you join the army for a year). It's like a day in the life of the girls, how they are feeling, one wants to be with her family, the other wants nothing more than to be far away from her's. They patrol sectors of the city, registering Arab men and women as they come and go from the city (which no one really wanted to do). Although it wasn't a deep movie, it was a glimpse into the life of the women as they go about their lives. It was interesting and entertaining.

This weekend, I have seven more and then one more on Tuesday and then I'm all finished! I did give up one tonight, one of my hamstrings is in spasms from bootcamp last night, and maybe badminton today. . .oh well! It's a Canadian movie that did well at the Atlantic Film Festival so I'm sure it'll be on DVD one day.
