Christmas Eve

I decided on The Departed. It is an eighteen and I was feeling very grown up. What distinguished it from a 15 was difficult to make out. The use of one word occasionally, and blood. It was very confusing. At first, everyone seemed to be Leonardo di Caprio. Everyone was very troubled by their families. There was one person who may or may not have been Leonardo di Caprio who took a lot of stick because his Dad had worked at the airport. Why was that bad? Should he have been a doctor? Were they early anti-flight environmentalists? Everyone got killed by the end of the film, which may have been a good thing, because getting a jury to convict anyone on evidence as complicated as that would have been impossible. It is clearly time to retire with The Language Instinct. An afterthought. If Harry had watched it, which she couldn't because she is only ten, would she have been able to explain it to me?
