Anywhere But Here
For the longest time, I remember liking the movie Anywhere But Here with Natalie Portman and Susan Sarandon. Now I’m watching it, and the mother reminds me so much of my mother. It makes me sad. And poor Ann, I know how she feels. How much you wish and hope for something half assed normal, and gettting let down every single time. Every disappointment. It builds on you, until every time, it’s one big lie. Everything. Everything’s a lie. You can’t separate it out anymore, truth and reality, and lies and fiction.
And every person you meet is your mother, possibly the liar.
