A couple of weeks ago I read an article on this film in which it stated that it should be compulsory viewing for everybody.
There was also the chance to win tickets to the film. I entered and, on Monday, received news that I had won tickets for two.
We went today and , even though it is a long film (147 minutes) and I am overtired at present it held our attention from start to finish and I thoroughly recommend it.
It went through his life until he became president. 10/10
Apart from that we had a busy weekend with the Whangarei Garden Discovery and the end of the Sculpture Symposium. Photos to be posted later.
It is a good thing you went to that film as it forced you to sit still for a time. Heavens, you are a very busy lady ;o)
ReplyDeleteGood point!!! I hope things will slow down a bit now. There has been a lot on in Whangarei over summer and I have endeavoured to go to everything that sounded of interest.
DeleteOh wow - that's fantastic, Sue. I'd love to see that film sometime too. The premier was in London on the day that he died, so a lovely tribute to a great man.
ReplyDeleteWe were so pleased we went - not pleasant in places but that is the way things were then.
DeleteI'm glad you found time in your busy schedule for what I've heard is a very good film. You've had a hectic winter.
