American Pastoral

11:15:00

You know these people. The most popular guy at school, the prettiest girl, the most coveted couple. A dream come true for the rest of us who are wallflowers, while they are the king and the queen of the graduation ball. You can envision that everything will be great for them, their parents' money will grant them the best of future, their looks will put them in the best of jobs, their earnings will exceed the earnings of our strongest vocational efforts. Is that so? Is the seemingly perfect life of those who have everything really that perfect? Can a dream love, a dream home, and a dream child turn into something you would expect from the less representative layers of society? Can a child bring something more than a joy of upbringing? And why tragedy also touches seemingly ideal people? American Pastoral.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
