SvenskaMy hairdresser had given me information in advance about Sally’s wedding. It turned out that his sister had previously gotten married in the same venue. I was well prepared and, above all, both Jack and Sally said “yes” to each other. It was no “Runaway Bride” like in the movie with Julia Roberts. You certainly remember the scene when she jumped onto her horse in a big dress and wedding veil and then rode away at full gallop from the church.
Film is a big part of my life, even though I don’t watch as many films a year as I did 30 years ago. Back then, film was a way to learn more about life and the world, and at the same time, a perfect entertainment. Today it’s still the same, but with more life experience, I see things from new perspectives. Sometimes I can watch the same film again and experience it in a completely new way because I have gained more knowledge.
When I was in Nice, I saw a photo of Charlie Chaplin in connection with the Cannes Film Festival. It made me think about who Charlie Chaplin of our time is. I don’t have an answer yet, but at least Chaplin’s films during World War II in the 1940s meant a lot in challenging times.
