Will share a snippet of the movie with you...out of context it might not be funny though...so a little context. Steve Carell is a very odd person who finds dead mice and creates vignettes by dressing up the mice as characters from history. But he has most of the historical facts wrong or twisted. The dinner is supposedly a dinner to find the "most impressive person" but it is actually a dinner to find the biggest "fool/oddball". Steve presents many of his vignettes at dinner and one is about Vincent Van Gogh.
Quote from the movie
"Vincent Van Gogh... everyone told him you only you only have one ear...you can't be a great artist...and do you know what he said... I can't hear you. Vincent Van Gogh was a dreamer" :)
My son Will graduated on Friday. He graduated with Honors (in all honors classes and is an Illinois State Scholar!) As a proud mother, I have to say he is more like his mom than he likes to admit :)
I am so proud of his accomplishments and excited that he is starting a new chapter in his life! I am sad too but our "job" as a parents is to give our children wings and let them fly!
Now for an real quote from one eared Vincent :)
“What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”
Vincent van GoghWill is attending Tulane University, hundreds of miles away, and doesn't know a soul there. I am proud of his courage to attempt something new at such a young age. I developed my courage (I am not always courageous) much later in life, so although we are very similar I am proud that that he has more courage than I did at young age.
