Saw Little Children today. A contrived plot yet I liked it. Somehow I can relate to weasel Brad. All he craves is acceptance from the young. A boy at heart who simply refuses to grow up. Comparing Sarah to Madame Bovary was interesting.
Emptiness in lives can be perilious. I guess women are better off working than sitting home fantasizing abt an alternate exotic lives. 1850s(Time when Madame Bovary was written) were times when owmen did not have many alternatives (as Sarah explained in movie) . In today's world there are few excuses for such behaviour.
The saddest character was of course Ronnie. Reading his mother's last words "Please try to be a good boy" was very touching. Are people so close to their mothers actually so dysfunctional? I wonder.
