Bridge of Spies

Today we watched Bridge of Spies with Tom Hanks. Super educational. 

I liked this movie a lot and the best part was that I never got bored of what was going on. I don't think I have seen too many movies about the Cold War so this was interesting and I do love anything having to do with spies! 

Back Home

In this movie, a young girl is evacuated to America at the start of World War II and has just returned after the war to England. Adjusting to the lifestyle and culture of England after spending her formative years in America seems to be a big struggle as she now considers herself American. 

It wasn't a very entertaining movie but I suppose it was a bit educational. The girl liked to use stencils, especially on the walls, so I took inspiration from that and used some circle stencils and paint on my scrapbooking project. 

A Friendship in Vienna

Today we watched an older Disney Channel Premiere film, A Friendship in Vienna.

This movie was educational. We learned a lot about what it was like to live in Vienna during that time. It was obviously sad, and sometimes scary. I didn't like how it ended - the girls just never see or talk to each other again. If this was present day, those girls would have just found each other on social media. It is crazy to think how many friendships just ended back then because of people moving away or losing touch. Nowadays you can stay friends with your preschool pals and catch up online. 

We were inspired by this movie to make friendship bracelets. I made one with thread for the kid. He made one with beads.
