We overslept. Sort of on purpose. We didn't make it to the morning premiere of Wonderstruck. But you know what? That's OK. We went with it. Backup plans.
To start off our day, we went to the American Pavilion for a small snack. And then, we had an idea. Why don't we try to get into another premiere? One where we don't have to wear formal clothes? One with minimal effort?
And that's how we ended up with tickets to see the 12:00PM premiere of Loveless, a Russian drama about a couple that is going through a divorce and, consequently, neglect their son and his well being. Due to the conflict, the son runs away, which propels the plot into a psychological study on the nature of family and loyalty.
It wasn't a happy movie.
But I did enjoy it.
After this, Kelsey and I decided to sign up for a VR presentation on science in virtual reality. This consisted of a collection of scientific short films, including a documentary sponsored by the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, all of which focused on education. The presenters were entertaining and passionate about their work, which made the experience all the more valuable for me, despite the motion sickness.
Following this, Kelsey and I attempted to beg for tickets for the following day's premiere of Okja. This was mostly for our friend Kira, who has been dying to see it, but ultimately I wasn't too bummed when we were unsuccessful.
That being said, our day was pretty much finished, so Kelsey and I headed back to the residence and began to work on our reviews for the rest of the night. You win some, you lose some.
And I'm still above the three movies a day average.
