Foreign Movies are Funny
Watching a movie in French with English subtitles when you don't know a word of French is funny. It's like watching soap operas on mute. Especially when words don't translate exactly right and it sounds like the person is saying something silly and completely wrong for the situation described in the movie. It's a riot. Except when you're not supposed to laugh because it's really serious, but something just strikes you as funny and you can't help it, then everyone looks at you funny because you shouldn't be laughing. That didn't happen to me. It almost did, but I held it in. :D
I'm so excited for this weekend, my parents are coming Saturday! :) Fun fun fun!

I had to watch it for my Modern European history class, and it just so happened that the movie my professor wanted us to watch was in French. We weren't watching it for the language, we were watching it for the historical background. The movie was 3 hours long and very depressing and it's not something I would like to do again, although I tried to amuse myself by laughing at the subtitles and facial expressions.
Thanks so much for the birthday shout out!
