I was thinking the other day about a movie I saw on TV when I was probably 16. I periodically would see it when it was on TV since then, but the other day, I decided just to purchase it.
I have seen it four times since buying it so that makes me feel better because it costs less each time I watch it than what I paid for it. At least that’s what I tell myself!
The movie is, The Thing Called Love with Samantha Mathis and River Phoenix:
I will say that one thing that makes me wince every single time I see it is the twin towers as she is leaving New York. I remember when we would have the moment of silence to commemorate the events every year when I was teaching.
I remember one year a student asked me, what that was like because they were all too young to know. I thought about for a moment and I just said, “Sad.” And then I added that I was pregnant and it was so scary! I really wasn’t talking to my students then when I made that statement, I was just remembering.
Seeing those twin towers is tough for sure, but I am happy that I bought this movie! I think it was the second time that I saw it, that I realized that I seem to repeat Sandra Bullock lines!!!
I didn’t even know I said this because of this movie, but when my classroom phone would ring while I was teaching, I would always tell my students, “I bet that’s for me!”
But, I guess I did that a lot, I said things to amuse myself! I just think that it’s silly that I didn’t even know it was from this movie until I purchased it!
