Il Mio Miglior Nemico

Best. Movie. Ever. You may suspect that I've been going to a few too many movies this week, but in my defense... it's the friday before another school trip, and we just escaped from a 4 HOUR LONG assembly on Campania, presented by the History teachers. Who both love to talk, and apparently find the torture of students strangely satisfying. 4 HOURS!!! There were two documentaries, the first of which had ABSO-frigging-LUTELY NOTHING to do with Campania. First, it was in Italian which automatically means I'm going to miss some of it, and second, it was talking about all these random cities around Lazio, and the Etruscans, whom we all love so much. The one part that was interesting was the bit that actually was about Campania, and mentioned the paleolithic fossil site there. Get this - after talking for an hour on whether Roman eating habits were hedonistic or masochistic (because that's so excessively enthralling), the teacher said "Don't worry, I won't subject you to that," referring to the fossils. Because the debate on whether Romans were torturing themselves or not by overeating is so much more interesting than fossils.

So obviously, after such a scarring 4 hours, a movie was necessary. And this one was about the most amazing movie I have EVER SEEN. I'm currently making a list of the top 5 movies ever, and this definitely gets a place. Admittedly I missed a fair chunk of the dialogue, but hey, I got the gist, more or less, and I certainly followed the plot.... and it was amazing! (The best part was the out of the blue character who spoke..... English. With no subtitles for the Italians. SO RANDOM!!)
