Russian Movies

Tonight I went to see a movie. All in Russian, no subtitles. It was called the 9th Road, and it was about the war in Afganistan in 1988. Although I could understand nothing from the words that were said....I could understand so much of the film. I experienced different emotions, felt the struggles, laughed, and became connected to the characters. It was a great movie, and I defintely would see it again. I would prefer English subtitles next time....but its not a necessity.

I can make an analogy about this movie to my life here....I dont understand everything that is said to me ever. Yet, things dont even have to be verbally expressed, for meaning to be conveyed. People can understand so much just by spending time with someone else....even if one cannot understand the other perfectly. And like the movie...it would be nice if I could understand everyone all the time...but its not necessary.
