7 Plus Seven
I watched this along with the original film in the Seven Up series.
I'd heard about how praised this series was, and so far it has exceeded all my expectations. I'm really excited to watch these children grow.
What a blessing it is that the original filmmakers had this idea long enough before I was born that I am able to watch these movies now and see this group of people grow up at such a rapid pace.
It's really one of the most completely encompassing film works on the human condition. I'm saying this having only even seen the first two films! But I can't imagine how it won't pay off. It's such a simple idea and yet so perfect.
Being a bit of an anglophile and feeling as though the class system in England is really no different than the class separation in the USA, just more defined, I really felt so completely touched in so many complex ways watching these movies. And that's really what the best movies do.
