(Wednesday, April 20th)
Ana and I moved our meeting from today to Thursday so I spent my senior project time watching a movie in Portuguese called, "O Ano em Que Meus Pais Saíram de Férias"or "The Year My Parents Went on Vacation" set in Brazil into 1970. It is a Brazilian movie completely in Portuguese about a young boy in Brazil in 1970 when the military dictatorship was in power and his parents leave him with his grandfather as they go off to join the communist revolution agains the dictatorship. The movie was fantastic, intervening Brazilian culture and history into a touching story of a boy in love with soccer who just wants his parents to come back home from "vacation". Besides watching the movie I continued to read the Alchemist, and researched Brazilian politics.
