Dogs and men; Film recs : “Come and See”
A tragedy happened recently in UK - Rottwailers killed five-month old baby
I feel so terrible about this. I am in double mind too. As a small child I was bitten, or may be just frightened by an Alsatian in the play ground. I don’t remember what happened, I just remember that I was always afraid of dogs while growing up. Especially the big ones. These fears were fuelled up by the string of Russian Second World War films largely featuring Alsatians.
As I grew older, in my teens, I met a friend who was a dog enthusiast and her cute, big and dorky dog Betty almost cured me of the fear of dogs. After I got married I realised that my dearest is a HUGE dog enthusiast himself and because he always wanted a dog we got our family dog Sky. We waited few years until our daughter Sasha became old enough. I am not afraid of dogs anymore at all. I love dogs, of all shapes and forms and sizes!!!!
What I am trying to say is that I don’t ever think it the dog’s fault when he/she become vicious. People often seem to think that the dog is like un-animated thing which you can just put in the corner when you want to. People living next-door to us are a little like that – they never walk with their dog (large, active type) and this dog seems to be doing much barking. Sometimes people take big dogs which they don’t know how to control or train. And – how on earth can someone leave a dog/ a cat, or any any animal, with the baby alone!!!!
Come and See:
I have noticed a fantastic Russian film in the wide DVD release - Come and see (Idi i smotri)It is described as The greatest war film of all times on IMDB. If I can choose one film which affected me the most it would be “Come and see”. Saying this it is probably also the most terrifying film I have ever seen. I could not sleep for two days after watching it. If you want to see the most truthful representation of what Second World War was for Belarusian people this is the must-see. I am incredibly glad that this film is released on DVD. I am an idealist – sometimes I think if just all the people saw films like that when they are young we would had no wars.

On a happy (but tired) note I was watching Full House until 3 am yesterday. And I could have watched more, I could not stop.
+ It is getting to be full of angst soon, I feel it!
+ I think I simultaneously like Min Hyuk and Young Jae. I want them both to be happy which is not possible!
+ Min Hyuk has a totally new and wonderful vulnerable side to him. Aww!
