Stan and I have decided to not let the winter get us down so we have been watching movie classics. I researched some of the greatest classic movies and we have started watching them. Our first movie was Citizen Kane. It was fantastic. Our first impression was how amazing all of the sets were. We both said it was way better than now. Although I loved the surprise ending (even though I knew it from the beginning-thanks to a thousand references in different shows) Stan was not so into it and thought that the whole surprise was a little stupid. Oh well I appreciated what it represented. If you are reading this and have no idea what I am talking about I will just say you should totally see the movie. The acting was impressive and the characters had a lot of dimmentions which added to the movie a lot. Their goals and motives were not always clear and could easily be misconstrued which really reflected life and made the movie very relatable. I thought it would be hard to watch since it was all in black and white but it was awesome and kept my attention the entire time! It is certainly a must see!We have also invited Wyatt into this and I know he can't really see Citizen Kane but Stan and I decided it would be cool to share some Children's Classics with him. So for Wyatt's first Children's Classic we did The Wizard of Oz. I thought for sure since it wasn't super high action and wasn't animated that Wyatt would lose his attention early but that was not the case at all. He loved loved LOVED the Wizard of Oz. He laughed at the Scarecrow and the Lion all the time. And wasn't even scared of that mean ol witch and her monkey men. He sat on my lap the entire time and watched with amazement. He danced to the songs and laughed at the jokes. Way to go Bubs.
