I usually have big plans about movies I will see at the theater in the summer. My plans usually fail and I end up watching them at home months later. But not this summer. This summer I went to the movies THREE times!
The first one was a definite summer movie:
This one won’t win any awards, but it was fun to watch – and sing along.
The next two were documentaries. I saw both in old-fashioned, classic theaters : the Laurelhurst Theatre and the Academy Theater.
My sister and I saw the Mr. Rogers documentary at the Laurelhurst.
Yesterday, I went to the Academy Theater to see the documentary RBG.
RBG and Mr. Rogers have very different personalities, backgrounds and life histories, but they are both about making a difference in the lives of ordinary people. It won’t surprise you to know I laughed and cried at Won’t You Be My Neighbor. It might surprise you that I also laughed and cried at RBG.
If you haven’t seen either, I highly recommend both. I think middle schoolers might like both of them
