The Village

Herself speaks.

I've been searching for something entertaining to pass the time while using the treadmill, and came across The Village (M. Night Shyamalan, director). I enjoyed it previously, and again. The dialog is a little stilted and overly stylized, although it still seems appropriate given the themes of the movie.

There was one line that struck me:

IVY: Sometimes we don't do things we want to do, so that others won't know we want to do them.

That's a beautiful summary of the complexity of some human emotions.

And quite true, I think.
