Haven't been scrapping...

but watching movies. It has been nice to sit down and relax and watch a movie or two. Last week I rented The Holiday with Cameron Diaz and Judd Law and I am David with Jim Caviezel. The movie is base on the book written in 1963 by Anne Holm. The movie plot is about A 12-year old boy escapes a Stalinist concentration camp in Bulgaria and sets out on a risky journey to Denmark in hopes of finding freedom, while facing danger and encountering various people along the way. A guard at the camp initially helps him to escape, giving him a compass and telling him he must go southwest to Greece, take a boat to Italy and finally go north to Denmark, a peaceful and neutral country. Since he has been locked in a camp all his life, David is inexperienced, and wary of other people. Johannes, his teacher, taught him Italian, French, English, Danish, Russian and a little bit of Hebrew. Johannes dies later in the story and leaves David to go to Denmark to find freedom. In his journey he meets many people and comes to develop his emotions and learn how to trust other people . You can find out more information about the movie and book by heading over to that site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_am_David. I wish I knew how to give you the direct link but I am not that much of an experienced blogger. LOL!
