dreaminghopeI saw a movie on Monday called The Legend of the Weeping Camel. I got free preview passes from work, so Russ and I went. We won "Lonely Planet Guides" to Tibet and Mongolia while there, so that was cool.
It was one of those slow, sleepy movies where nothing seems to happen. An hour and a half of movie can be summed up by: A family depends on its camels. One of their camels rejects its calf and won't feed it. The family does a ritual, the camel cries and then feeds its baby.
The scenery was beautiful (shot in Mongolia), and there were some sweet and funny moments. And camels are strange looking creatures. But it didn't seem like much, while watching it.
But, strangely enough, I've been finding myself thinking about the movie once in a while ever since. It was sort of insidius, how it got in my head. I find myself smiling at a remembered scene, or day dreaming about the scenery. And thinking about camels...
I am going to bed now.
