Underdog Story

Last week I wrote a blog about Woody Allen's film Midnight in Paris.  Despite accumulating close to 20 views,  my hours and hours of hard work was not recognized by my professor.  Even though my feelings were temporarily hurt I decided right then and there that I wouldn't let it hold me down.  With this blog post, I hope to generate the highest number of views in "Blogger" history.  If that doesn't happen, at least give me an A for the submission!

51 Birch Street

Last night I went with my friend to Cinemapolis and saw the documentary '51 Birch Street' by Cornell alum' Doug Block. I thought it was really good and so insightful into what we really know and don't know about our parents. The film opens with the director interviewing his mother and asking her questions about both her marriage and his own upbringing. After she dies, Block discovers her diaries and learns of her discontent within her marriage. Not only does Block gain insight about his parents' marriage but also his own. In addition, he grows closer to his father. It was really cool after the documentary Block was at the screening to answer questions and talk about the process that went into creating his work.

This is a trailer of the doc:
