8 Hours of Reflection

The long drive through Wyoming gave me a lot of time to reflect and think. Unfortunately, i also helped the state fill one of its quotas, but it was good for me. Now, I am home and have the summer ahead of me. Who knows what is going to happen. First thing is first-- JOB. Well, here is yet another movie that I saw in one of my classes this semester. It is the 1957 film by Ingmar Berman, Wild Strawberries, is an excellent movie. Isak Borg (Victor Sjöström) and his daughter-in-law, Marianne (Ingrid Thulin), travel to Lund University for a ceremony held for Isak. On the way, there are several oportunities for Isak to reminisce and reflect on his past choices and what they have brought him in his advanced age.
