Artist date#2

For my second artist date, I decided to just stay in on a Sunday and watch a foreign film. I decide on Volver, a Spanish film starring the striking and one of my personal favorites, Penelope Cruz. It is directed by Pedro Almodovar. It is not at all new to me to watch foreign films,but it was a new experience this time because I can somewhat speak Spanish since I have been taking it for the past four terms. I decided not put subtitles and man was I in for the biggest headache of my life. I kept on rewinding the movie because they spoke too fast for me to understand and most of the time I did not understand the words at all. Even with me lost in translation, the visual aspect allowed for me to keep up with the movie, and when I watched it again recently, this time with subtitles, I found that I pretty much understood it. Just a few tweaks here and there:) It was a humbling experience.
