sorry, cari, i didn't mean to say that the film: 'our
daily bread' was upsetting'... freya said that she was
in a mood in which she would find it upsetting (or
that is what i read)... i took that to mean that she
was in a mood in which she might be more easily upset
than on other days... i know i certainly have days
when things upset me more easily than on other
days.... and i was simply suggesting something else
to watch in case she wasn't in the mood for that one.
i didn't mean to call the film upsetting.
in fact, i haven't seen it yet... it's on the shelf
right now waiting for me to watch it tonight or
tommorrow.
but yeah... i don't think you can ever say that any
film will always have the same emotional impact on
every viewer... upsetting, uplifting, irritating,
exciting.... i think that those sort of reactions
really depend on the viewer and what he or she is
going through and experiencing during the moment of
the viewing.
sorry if i accidentally labelled a film according to
an emotional reaction it might incite in a particular
viewer... i should have replied to freya off list i
guess...
