wildcat movie, ethan hawke

 in the evening i saw the movie 'wildcat', at st. anthony main in minneapolis. ethan hawke had plenty of involvement in this movie, despite not acting in it, as he is listed as the director, a writer, and a producer. his daughter, maya, plays the main character, as it is a bio-pic about a writer, flannery o'connor. it wasn't the conventional bio-pic as we see some of the stories she wrote being acted out, so some actors played more than one role. there were scenes depicting her time in iowa city, as she was at their famous writer workshop. there was the typical disclaimer about how it is not a documentary, some scenes and characters were invented for dramatic effect. sometimes i can guess which ones, based on what will get the biggest crowd reaction. one of these has to be when she is in the waiting room at a doctor's office and another lady that is waiting is daydreaming. liked seeing liam neeson in it, as a catholic priest. the story seemed to end a little early, with an epilogue saying she wrote for something like thirteen more years. i had already read up about how she suffered from lupus and died at age 39, in 1964. guess i had heard of her novel, 'wise blood', before, as there was a card i had picked up about an adaptation of it when i was acting at a haunted house many years ago. this movie was at the same venue for MSP film-fest but there was limited screenings during the festival and none really worked in my schedule so i am thankful i waited it out and there was a wider release to a theater near me. i did do more than just the movie. i went to the st. paul saints baseball double-header. the saints won the lid-lifter and omaha won the nightcap, both games had 4-2 scores. the first game was actually the completion of the suspended game from friday when there was rain. after the movie i stopped at a walgreen as i wanted a drink and got a bottle of raspberry tea along with a box of cereal and a charlie brown sticker. before the movie i got some godfather's pizza from bobby and steve's, a short drive from the theater. during my walks i found 84 cents.
