Ingrid and I went to the movies and then for a sushi lunch afterwards. We also bought a saucepan for 30 kr at the flea market on H\u00f6torget and browsed fun shops like Sostrene Grene, and Sudd & Kludd.<\/p>\n
We saw Flow<\/i>, the animated movie about the cat in the flood. It was the first time for Ingrid and the second time for me – I saw it in January, catching it just as it looked like it was ending its run in the cinemas, and liked it enough to be happy to watch it again.<\/p>\n
I liked how the animals in the movie are very clearly still animals, even though they’re more intelligent than normal animals – unlike many children’s movies where animals are just humans in other shapes. The dogs here can’t help chasing things, the cat is mesmerised by things swinging back and forth in front of it. The cat makes small meep<\/i> sounds when distressed, even when nobody is nearby, just like real cats do.<\/p>\n
The animals are intelligent enough to understand each other somewhat, even though they don’t have language. I also understand them somewhat, but mostly not all the way. It’s difficult to interpret an unfamiliar animal’s body language. What does the capybara actually think is going on? No idea. Are the other dogs bullies or just clueless? Don’t know. Why are the birds so bothered by one of them helping the cat? Who knows.<\/p>\n
A lot of stuff has clearly happened in the world where the story takes place. I wonder how much of an actual back story there is in the creators’ heads, and how much of the world-building is hand-wavy “it just is that way”.<\/p>\n
The cat in Flow<\/i> looks quite similar to Nysse so I couldn’t help imagining Nysse in all those distressing situations. It was a bit like watching movies where kids get hurt, but not quite as bad. (I really struggle with that since having children.) Worse the first time; now at least I knew that it wouldn’t get hurt for real.<\/p>\n

Sushi, by the way, is horrendously expensive these days. As is all eating out, really. I thought it was bad when a sushi lunch went up to 130 kr a couple of years ago. Now we’re at 160 for lunch and 200 kr for a la carte. My salary has not gone up 50% in the same time period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
