FAMILY AND MOVIES

This is Cameron with Little Ann.

I don't believe that a film has to be rated "G" or "PG" to be considered a family film - it is all in how you define family. If you mean absolutely everyone from a wee tot a reserved great aunt, then, yes, some films are not "family" fare.

But I'll tell you this: my grandson, daughter-in-law and I are going to V for Vendetta - an "R" rated movie about a futuristic totalitarian England. Cameron is 13 and interested in history and governments so we will be have, no doubt, discussions about what happens in the movie. The "R" is for strong language and violence and that is on TV and in the street nowadays. I think relating to a kid in conversation certainly outweighs hearing an "F" word or seeing a fight or a shooting.

Explorers used to go into unknown territory to see what was there; I am going into the realm of blogs to see what I can add, and, in writing posts about my life here in Northeast Indiana, to see what I can discover about myself and the place I live. Maybe this is not so much a new-fangled blog as it is an old-fashioned pot-bellied stove around which stories and news are exchanged and shared.

Yo, there. Okay, I don't exactly look like my picture here. I have written for some papers in different places and at present I am writing for the Kendallville Mall. You may have read some of my articles; you may not have. A lot of the time I write for myself, and sometimes I don't do it on paper. Sometimes I write in my mind where the words can soothe or encourage or firmly establish a feeling in my memory place. Would that be my heart? Maybe. Sometimes I write funny stuff; I think I am at times melancholy. I don't think of myself as a writer or storyteller. I believe I just have a need to attach words to things. Perhaps it is a way of praying , a need such as that expressed by C.S. Lewis in the movie Shadowlands:"That's not why I pray, Harry. I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God. It changes me."
