I'm starting this blog a little late (after midnight), so I'm going to try to keep my post a little short so I can get some sleep. I have a lot going on at work right now, and it's a little stressful since it's all so new still! I want to make sure I actually get enough sleep so I can function.
Today's movie was The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, directed by John Huston in 1948. It sounds like an adventure movie (and we all know how I feel about those), but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually depressing, to some extent, and not at all what I was expecting. I thought it would be some sort of blah, Indiana Jones adventure or something, but I guess I should have known that Bogart was above that. It's gritty and dirty, and ends like some of my favorite movies - by proving that everything the main characters were doing was sort of pointless. Amazing.
