Failure. Loss. Insecurity. Emptiness. Fear. These are all things to be sad about and they were all summed up in the movie "House of Sand & Fog". I was bored and I borrowed this movie from the store. Partly because I wasn't able to catch it in the theatres, as I was in New Zealand for Exercise Thunder Warrior. It was a good film. Almost flawless acting and beautiful scenes with the sun setting on the horizon. But, the movie has left me utterly depressed and melancholic. The two main characters mirrored each other in terms of their flaws and their emotional burdens. Why is there so much death and destruction? Just because of one house, it has shattered the lives of so many people. Nearly every character in the movie had an unhappy ending. Well, life isn't a fairytale. But, all in all, I still enjoyed the movie thoroughly.
