Gold and Movie

Last night was a huge night for Finland. They won gold in the World Ice Hockey Championships against frenemy Sweden.  They made six beautiful goals against Sweden's one.

I am actually quite happy that Finland has won.  I prayed for the victory because I felt that they deserved to win. Finland is a kind society and I felt they deserved a bit of happiness.

Today marks the first time I watched The Reader, the movie where Kate Winslet got her Oscar from.  I regret not having watched it earlier because it was beautiful.  For me, it tells of a story on how one person can be the source of hope and how that one person can also become your despair.  The movie also showed me once more that in life blacks and whites do not exist.  Life is gray.

I am not a movie critic so I would spare you from my review. Suffice to say, the movie touched my heart.  I think I will actually buy a DVD copy and keep one in my collection.
