Hello from China!
I was watching the movie 'The Children Act' last weekend (night
before travelling). I love Emma Thompson (who plays the lead), and generally
women whose personalities exude a strong character, I think. There's this
dialogue which tickled me:
Fiona: It's the only place I was ever wild and free. Have you ever
been wild and free, Nigel?
Nigel: uhh... no, never, thank God. I'd be hopeless at it.
I think I audibly laughed at this because I imagine I'd be
hopeless at being 'wild and free' too... give me stability and routine and warm
home and cosy tea any day! But then again, I suppose having these conditions is
necessary for me to have my own kind of ‘wild and free’… in the head? How can I
chew on something if I am busy putting out fires? On the other hand, if I
enjoyed ‘wild and free’ in the world outside I’d probably not compare it to
putting out fires… hehe!
