patentdragonMission 101 Update...
So, here we go - with Doctor Zhivago (1965). Anyone put off this movie by its reputation as one of the great love stories is doing themselves a disservice - here's a story of the Russian Revolution that doesn't sugar-coat the hardship and injustice happening all around a man who just happens to find himself torn between his family and the woman he falls in love with. The nature of the story does mean that maybe some of the characters just drift away, and fade into memory, rather than having a definite on-screen demise - meaning that one character in particular seems to walk away without properly facing the justice he deserves - but you can at least hope that the others find some modicum of peace and contentment at the end. Powerful stuff, with an incredible cast and potent settings. (4/5)
Well worth the effort!
Development News... Making more progress with Chapter 4 of TDD-605 "She Returns", but I'm still needing to pick up the pace a bit. Hopefully, I can press ahead during the week (not counting Tuesday), and have one key thread "in the bank" by the end of today.
At least I'm writing, and that's a start. There could still be something to post at the weekend!
