I love how it brightens up my day. I love how the

Duerrenmatt describes "The Visit" as a "tragic comedy" that offers a pessimistic social vision of post-war Europe‚ and especially of Switzerland. A criticism of Swiss neutrality during World War II‚ the rise of fascism‚ the 1950s rise of capitalism‚ and the general corruptibility of justice‚ "The Visit" powerfully asks whether it is possible to buy justice on the one hand‚ and whether murder and personal revenge can constitute justice on the other.

“In Country” By: Bobbie Ann Mason I had a difficult time with the characters and the setting of the story. This might have been on purpose on Bobbie Ann Mason’s part‚ to connect in a very close and emotional way. This novel would really connect with people who lived through the Vietnam war and the 1980’s.

Overall I did like this movie‚ it had some dull moments because of the repeated concepts‚ but it was still really good. For instance‚ it seemed to drag on‚ he hadn’t even gotten into the toy store until about half the movie was done. It also had a lot of predictable moments. For example‚ in the middle of the movie‚ it had shown Josh and Susie having fun and what she was pushing for. It was made into a serious matter early on in the movie when she had actually enjoyed the date compared to others she
