Today we watched Muriel's Wedding. We had intended to watch a film on Sunday evening but the kids did not want to and promised to watch something as a family on Wednesday. Today the argument was about which Wednesday but they did agree to watch Muriel’s Wedding. The thing is that my wife and I forgot how traumatic it is in parts. The kids left after a particularly savage occurrence and missed how the film was a lot more happy afterwards. But my wife and I loved it, just as we did when we were younger. I hope that our children do not identify with it the way we did, and I guess that may be one of the reasons it did not mean as much to them. Also my wife and I watched it when we were at university, something that the children will not attend for a few years, if at all.
