Wrap up!
I really did enjoy Leaving Normal. I enjoyed the inevitable, yet hard at times friendship that was formed. I enjoyed the adventure that the women let themselves take, despite the many setbacks (physical and mental). I enjoyed the family and love that was found through their journey to Alaska and beyond. I thought the movie was great.
My favorite movie we watched this semester is Priscilla: Queen of the Desert! This film has stuck out in my mind since we have watched it. I cannot really pinpoint what it is that I love so much about it. Maybe it is that the drag queens find community in this harsh world. Maybe its that they find companionship in their own kin. Maybe its that ultimately they rely on each other for their immense support. I love the characters development, especially Ticks. One of my favorites!
