So it was Christmas right? Of course it was, we were all there for it, there’s no getting around it. I, personaly, hate Christmas in every form because of the hypocricy. If we need two designated days a year to be friendly to each other then I’d say we hit the very lowest of low. Entire wars are put on HOLD because it’s Christmas!
“Yea don’t mind those Iraqies, it’s Christmas afterall and we can’t bomb them untill it’s over. Christmas is a time in which we need to love each other, afterall,”
It’s a stupid tradition in my eyes which comes with the biggest non-sense ever created. We pretend to love each other, give each other expensive presents, invite each other to Christmas dinners where we eat food so classy we don’t dare touch it. And most of us don’t even like the Christmas dinner but we keep eating and smile nicely to the hostess while in reality, we keep thinking back to that frozen pizza in the back of the freezer. At the end of the night half of the food gets thrown out and ends up on the landfill and at the end of the month December we will have spent millions of dollars extra around the world on presents and food.
Yeah you go Christmas spirit. Be nice to each other, think about others, help each other out! I wonder if they have Christmas trees in Africa.
Anyway, I’m getting a little caried away. I meant to write a simple intro about Christmas and here I go ranting about how it sucks. Oh well. Like I said, I’m not really a Christmassy type, but my girlfriend loves it and so I’m forced to participate. We had it all, lights in the yard, fancy food (frozen, but fancy (and unedible) non the less) and a sort of Christmas tree (we just moved, afterall). So not to be outdone I decided to take the girlfriend out to see a movie on the second day of Christmas. I kept her in the dark about which movie exactly, so I hoped I made a good choice when I reserved the tickets for Australia. I had read a good word about the movie here and there on the internet and since there weren’t a whole lot of other movies that seemed worth my money I decided on that one.
Reserving the tickets was a good idea by the way, because the theater was packed right up to the very last chair and I was sitting somewhere near the front row, which doesn’t make for nice viewing might I add. But despite all that I did have a great time. It’s an absolutely great movie which mixes a bit of everything. If you’re ever in a dispute about wanting to see an action movie or a romantic movie with your girl or boyfriend, then Australia isn’t a bad choice to go with.
I won’t go into the detail of the storyline, since this movie deserves to be seen without any knowledge of what it’s about. That way, you’ll be blown away a couple of times by the constant surprises and adventures. I was kind of sceptical about the movie I had chosen, since I chose it primarily for my girlfriend. But I came out with a smile and a tear on my cheek so for me it was a great experience. One which I can absolutely recommend.
