The flight is really boring. The movies help, of course, but there's only so much one can take. I watched "Jet Lag" (Juliette Binouche and Jean Reno) on the flight to Paris and on this flight to Sao Paulo, I watched two other good ones. A comedy called "Ah! Si, J'etais Riche" and a romance called "Une Femme De Menage". Both French productions, like “Jet Lag”. I like the European cinema. The movies are usually not as refined as the American ones but they are more "believable", depicting situations you could actually have in your day-to-day life instead of the awesome mambo-jambo and pyrotechnics happening to Bonds, Triple Xs or some FBI, CIA or CSA agent. Also, the usual low budget guarantees a certain ‘romantic’ look, not to be found in the big American productions. Happy endings are not mandatory, because life not always has a happy ending…
