Lazy Day

Well, I was a total bum today (although that's kind of nice for me). Spent most of the day watching DVDs. I watched De-lovely that was about the life of Cole Porter. Interesting movie with it mixing his music with a slightly surreal presentation of his marriage. I found Ashley Judd's character rather enigmatic. After all, she knowingly married a gay man. I wondered with the line that to Porter was more interested in men than she was whether they were saying that she was also gay, but there's no hint of that in the movie. Was she supposedly just uninterested in sex? It was mentioned more than once that she would have considered sex with a man as something she could easily live without. I never really thought she was presented as so in love with him that she overlooked the fact that he was gay. She's presented as loving him, but it never came across as "in love." Although I do understand how she could have gone into the marriage with open eyes and yet still find that such an arragement is easier in theory than in practice. Eventually there was a breach in the relationship, presented pretty much as a matter that he became so indiscreet that it began to endanger his career and she considered his career/talent to be paramount and she was unhappy about his endangering/wasting it.

And it's easy to understand Porter. In that time period having a wife would vastly help his career. In the society where he mingled he was openly homosexual yet it wouldn't have been accepted by the masses so having a wife was protection. He was honest with her throughout. There were no illusions between them. And they cared for each other. He for most intents and purposes had a successful and happy life and yet his life was never entirely happy. He loved his wife but wasn't IN love with her. And it never seems he found real love elsewhere, just a series of affairs with handsome young men. The only two that seem to have been given any importance being the ballet dancer and his companion after Linda's death. Interesting that the movie implies that she hand-picked his male companion to live with/take care of him after her death. I wonder how true that was. Looking up Porter's history online, though, it seems difficult to make the timeline work because in the movie it looked as though Bill stayed with him from prior to Linda's death until very close to Porter's death which they imply in the movie was immediately after Porter had his leg amputated. However, it appears that she died in 1954. His leg was amputated in 1958. And he didn't die until the mid-nineteen-sixties.

The second movie I watched was Wimbolden which is a nice, light romance. Cute leading man (what's-his-name, the imaginary friend in "A Beautiful Mind") Nothing particularly unusual in the story, but an enjoyable little movie.

And I ended up speaking for a long time today with an old friend. She had sent me a Christmas card last year so I sent her one this year and put my cell phone number on it telling her to call. I don't think we've spoken to each other in...well... honestly, I don't think we've spoken since her poor sister's funeral which was several years ago.
