in this day and age, people prefer high speed movies, with one event after the other. I'm no different than that. when a movie is too slow or too quite, I loose interest. in the case of "Dances with wolves", the pace works in favor of the magnificent picture portrayed in colorful shades. it allows the watcher not only to understand the protagonist, but also identify with his process, and to experience what he experiences. I don't know much about Indians, so I cant assess the truism of the story. then again, it's not a movie about Indians: it's a story about cultural differences. it's a story representing a sad reality. I love this movie very much. it allowed me to live in an alternative reality for a while, and did it well.

Most coming-of-age TV-shows present a wide variety of situations which are completely irrelevant for my life. The same could not be said about My Mad Fat Diary. It had me from the first scene, with the girls in the hospital bathroom, into the awkward moments of communications between Rae and her new friends. And when it heats the 'fat' issues, in the second season, I was already completely in love. The young characters in this series handle their daily hassles in an inexperienced manner, but I find that with some issues you straggle your entire life. The cast is brilliant, the dialogues are cool, and you can count on the writers to make each character as deep as in real life. Appreciation!
