I think I will tell a story here, that kind of says how I am, and was. When I was a child, I had a photographic memory almost. If I saw something, and or read it, I knew it. I used to not think twice about it. It was just how it was. As a child, you don't question it. It is something that you think probably if you think about it, everyone has that ability. But honestly I don't even remember thinking about it. I now know that is not the case for most people, since I no longer have that ability. I remember distinctly the first time in mys life that my mind failed me. I couldn't think of something, that I knew that I knew. It was startling for sure.. Since then, I have had that problem, in varying degrees. Culminating in the time after my hospital stay, this past year. I had to do a lot of work to get my brain back. It will never be what it once was, alas, but it is fully functional at least. I had trouble thinking of the smallest pertinent words, in conversation. To say that it was highly frustrating is putting it mildly. I do feel that I am alright iin that regard now however. I spent three months of very intense online puzzles getting here. Thank god for the modern technology.
My reason for telling this in regards to the Oscars. I was one of those children that was weekly allowed to go to the Sat. afternoon movies. My mother would go do the weekly shopping, and bill paying, and I was sent to the movies. We had a new theater in town, and it was very nice, seeing how I come from a very small town, and lived ten miles outside of it, in the country. It was very elegant to me.
But the point of it is all, to say, that I grew up, with my mind and thoughts in the movies. I was a person that went to the magazine rack in every store I went into, when my mother shopped. I would read all the movie mags. There aren't many now. However back then, there were many. I was allowed to read them, and then buy some to take home. I lived and breathed that life. It was the most appealing and satisfying thing in my otherwise, not too happy life. I made scrap books, and read everything available about the movies, and the stars. I even made my senior project about the movies. I think I even remarked on it somewhere here.
Anyway, the place where we lived, was a group of houses, we lived in a single home, and the others were duplexes. I remember there were five of the duplexes, and our house, in a row, along a dirt road. The back of the property was a huge barn. It had all manner of things, from farm equipment, to hay and bags of potatoes. The point is, all the kids that lived there would kind of hang out there, and talk. After coming home from the movies, I would go out. Often the children would ask me what movie I saw, and what it was about. I would sit and retell the story and do all the voices, and the dialogue for the entire bill. There were always two. There was a "double feature," as they were called. It would take several hours in my retelling of these stories. I loved it and they loved it, and I felt good that I could allow those others the chance to know the stories. Many of them, came from large families, with little extra money to send them to the theater.
I watched the academy awards all my life. From the first time it was televised, until now. I used to be able to recite also, the films, and the order they were given. That left me quite a while ago, there were just too many at the end. I have to admit, my largest disappointment in all these years, was the fact that Brokeback Mountain, lost to such a trite movie. I had many favorites, that lost over the years, but never one that drove me to tears. Even though I rather suspected ahead of time, that it would happen. As you all are aware, the wind was blowing in that direction prior to the night of the awards. I was, secondly devastated that Heath did not win for best actor. I has taken me several years to be able again to care about the show. I don't even have a horse in the race, so to speak this year, and my biggest reason for watching, is to see Michele, and all the fashions. I would root for Michele, but I know realistically that she doesn't have a chance. It will go to either Meryl Streep, or Viola Davis. Its too bad, that it is another forgone conclusion. She was beautiful as always in that part. I am satisfied, that she will eventually get one. She is so great in everything she does. She has interesting choices, and never does the same thing twice. She is destined for an amazing career, I am not hoping, simply because she was in my favorite movie. It is because I do believe it.
