All Aboard The "D" Train.......

My quest for reading about dysfunctional people continues, and its awesome!!! All Aboard!!!
Not only am I reading about them, but my travels took me to a movie about them also. Plus+++ the writer and director, is high on the "D" list, Woody Allen.
Now back to my reading, The Paris Wife by Paula Mclain, Hemingway's first wife. I love reading about Hemingway and I certainly "chew on" anything about his many wives. Also why very bright people with alcohol problems and egos shooting through the roof, are so depressed. Yes he was in a bad war, but...its the writers and artists that seem so tormented. Being in a war just gave him and others more stories. In the prologue it mentions the question, why they could not stop drinking or talking or kissing the wrong people no matter what it ruined. These young lovers lived in wonderful chaos, beautifully blurred and happy. Extraordinary lives, Paris in the 1920's, Hadley Hemingway was in the thick of crazy and in love, not a good combo, but what material. I finished consuming this book on Thursday and on Friday headed to the movies to see Midnight In Paris written by Woody Allen, whom I love!! Yes I said it, I love Woody Allen. I know he married his stepdaughter, which was a step up from Allison Mackenzie, (remember Peyton Place??) aka Mia ( too many children) Farrow. That waif nearly ruined him. So he found happiness, I have had to block it out of my mind!!! He is brilliant and DEPRESSED and crazy!!! One of those, off the beaten path, clarinet playing fools, that live on the edge, and make me happy to be alive!!! The movie was true Allen form, I enjoyed it. The main character goes back in time and meets all the greats, Hemingway, Zelda and Scott, Gurtrude Stein, Picasso and Monet, and many other odd, souls. He himself is a writer, and wants some feedback from the greats. This all takes place in Paris, and the setting is beautiful. Also, If you go, listen to the music, I think Woody is playing his tune!! What is dysfunctional anyway? and to whom? All Aboard!!!!!!
