Sergeant York

Today, I watched Sergeant York (illegally) for my American Lit class. Not my usual bill of fare at all. First off, it's one of those old movies with dozens of awards that everyone should see. I almost never agree with the critics who tell you those things. Second, it's a war movie (kind of). In fact, I think it would be safe to say that if I hadn't had to watch it for English, I wouldn't have watched it at all. Still, it was a decent movie, even if it did move a little (okay, a lot) slow. I mean, I kinda knew the whole plot before I started the movie (Wikipedia is my friend). So, I knew he'd become what would today be called a "born again Christian" and not want to go to war because of it, go to war, perform admirably and then come back home. It was an hour into the movie and he just found God. An hour! So, yeah. Think I liked it better than Citizen Kane (which I also had to watch for American Lit, but that was watched in-class). It's done now, and I still have reading from the textbook to do for my religions class (which is tomorrow! Help!).
