Happy day after July 4th. How many of you have hang overs and trash to pick up? Not me! How many of you enjoyed a nice display of fireworks? Not me! We went but were chased away by the down pour. Instead, we enjoyed the latter part of the fourth by watching Vantage Point; a movie about the President of the United States being assassinated in Spain. You watch the same fifteen minutes from several different “vantage points”. Quite clever aren’t they?
It was an enjoyable film. Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox play secret service agents. Sigorney Weaver plays the director of a major news company (I think it was called GNN). Forrest Wittaker plays a tourist who just happens to be there and tape the entire thing.
There are twist and turns revealed with each vantage point. It’s only an hour and a half long, so it turned out to be a great evening movie. Go rent it.
Back to the fourth of July.
Can someone explain the reasons for shooting off fireworks? Is it supposed to represents the bombs bursting in air? Because if it is, I find it a little weird that we sit around watching simulated bombs going off in the air above us. Perhaps someone will spell it out for me.
