The Mid Singles movie viewing that I attended consisted mostly of families. I thought I'd see a bunch of single people there but NOOO. The movie story it covered was inspirational but did not offer much to me in entertainment value. They held a Q & A after which was good when we got to hear from one of the Elders featured in the film. He had such grace, humility and the spirit BUT he was the only one. I usually don't like to risk wasting my time BUT Steve put he was attending on Facebook ALTHOUGH he didn't which is always a possibility, BUT where were the other single people who ALL were supposed to be there too? Developing a movie is tricky especially when based on a true story. Like good books there needs to be character development. We need to care about the people in the film and that doesn't happen unless we are able to get a sense of them, what motivates them, what they fear and their faith. Faith was central to the story but a sense of how significant that was could not be felt the way it needed to be conveyed.

I couldn't put down The Da Vinci Code because the plot was so gripping BUUUT there was no character development and I didn't care about any of them. People are always the most interesting. The movie was horrible because it didn't pay attention to this. I should have watched Cinderella. That is such a huge chick flick. I don't care and I am a princess . I am the daughter of a heavenly king! I think I'll go sometime this week. It is difficult to present spiritual stories in film. The church does a fabulous job for the most part.

Tomorrow is my first day or rather evening working at the Salt Lake Temple. I'm so excited to return to this and to become familiar with the building.
