Friends and movies
I like movies. And I suppose nearly everyone who can, who will and who shall. Films can be be entertainment, propaganda, funny and poignant. And one of the finest things in life is to watch a film with a loved one - a familty member and a friend: kin and kin of the heart so to speak.
Anyway one of the nice things about movies is sometimes it can crystallize the meaning of a thing in a short but powerful moment captured in celluloid. To say the least it is interesting. And maybe this is why we often refer to films a lot.
In the Bride of Frankenstein. The monster discovers an unlikely but brief friendship with a Blind Hermit. And the monster’s epiphany is well familiar. And it eventually found its way in several movies - one of which is About the Boy.

Jump a few decades after Bride of Frankenstein and we see Mel Brook’s Parody Young Frankenstein. And here the same scene - parodied ironically strikes a certain ring of truth. There are times when friendship and sometimes friends do take a stressful and yet comical turn.

How familiar
Like the Frankenstein played by Peter Boyle in extreme cases one just feels like to run away. Such is life.
Still … when you do find a friend one is extremely lucky I think. And despite the ups and downs it still is worth it. And what more perfect end to this hodpodge of a post on friendship with the final scene from Casablanca.
