Sunshine and Rainbows

I have officially watched
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
eight times in the last five days.







Because I love it, that is why.



I love that there is not a single ounce of this decade in it.
It is clean and pure from the vile things that fill up movies today.
It is just that wonderful.
It is music and dancing, it is love and laughter.
It is cute and fun and nothing like most of the movies we watch today.



Last night we went to get a redbox movie. He chose.



And I asked
(because I always ask)
"what is it rated?"


and he said he didn't know.

And then he said that it was a movie about teenagers with super powers
so he didn't think it would be that bad.

Yet there we were,
in the middle of a teenage super power movie
where the main character is 13 years old,
and I felt like I didn't want to continue watching it
because of the things in that movie.
Because I couldn't trust where it was going.



Now, please don't get me wrong.
I love movies.
And I am by no means innocent of the things that go on in this world.
But right now,
I just want to watch a movie that makes me feel good about life.
That makes me happy.
I need happy right now.
I don't even want to watch something
that is going to make me cry because it is good, but so sad.
I just want sunshine and rainbows.



And when I get home tonight?
I will watch Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
And I will revel in the happy get up and dance feeling that it leaves me with.
Because that is what I need for today.
