What will we learn?

I was anxious to see An Education for numerous reasons. It’s an Oscar nod for Best Picture, a BBC film (I’m a fan of those Brits) and my creative nonfiction professor suggested I see it because I would love it.An Education

I didn’t.

And in fact, it angered me.  Mainly because the characters are just stupid and driven by pleasure.

You’ll understand when you read the review. However, my editor did cut my last line which was sort of important in my point. I originally ended with how “Jenny learns to find character instead of just being a character. Something humanity could use an education in.”

Sometimes those opinions of mine are just too strong I guess.
