Movie Thoughts: BlackBerry

Getting out to the movies twice in a succession that would have been rapid for me years ago might have had an effect on me. I’d watched the trailers at both of those screenings with a thought or two about upcoming films I might also go to; when I noticed a movie I’d at least been aware of would be screening in theatres sooner than those possibilities, the thought of going to see it as well came to me in a hurry. I’ll admit to a certain feeling of “I’ve seen an animated movie made in Japan; I’ve seen a forty-year-old science fiction blockbuster; maybe now I can go to something a bit more ‘ordinary’ than either of them.” A movie “based on real events,” telling the tale of a particular kind of smartphone, did seem to fit that category.
