Oliver and movies

Elle and I just watched a strange movie last night.  WE BOTH thought that it was going to be a feel good movie and it was not!!!!  The movie was Everything Is Fine.  The rest of the blog gives away the thinly veiled plot of the movie.  PLEASE DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER unless you want to be disappointed in a disappointing movie.  The high emotions come from the facts:
1. This movie made me cry!
2. This movie was not supposed to make me cry!
3. Elle had a dream about our only boy cat name Oliver.  He is in my profile pic tonight. Elle and I came to the conclusion that we need to let his mortal body out of it confinement because our vet found cancer on a chest xray that we had done because he was not breathing correctly.  This was a hard decision because he was our baby.  He was found on the streets of Lansing by a mutual acquaintance and we adopted him.  He had a burnt nose and bum.  He crawled into our heart and started to purr.

The movie had a lost character that ended up dying in Mexico.  You become emotional attached to a person that is never seen on screen until the last 30 seconds in one of the last scenes.  The family finds out about their brother's Mexico drug smuggling and is informed that their brother is dead in a Mexico Prison/Hospital.  He basically leaves his family and tries to live up to a wrap sense of obligation to his father.  My father was never that warped even if his actions can be considered.  Now you can understand!  Elle decided that was not going to end our night so we watched the Next Food Network Star.  More tomorrow on that. . .
