We had the distinct pleasure to see the movie "Mary Shelley" starring Elle Fanning on Sunday night. This was a wonderful movie filled with the sights and sounds of London in the 1800s, but not from the perspective of the rich. Instead we were lead through various impoverished locations in London, following Mary Shelley and her lover Percy Shelley as he tried to make a living with his writing. Eventually their life lead them to a luxurious locale, where Lord Byron hosted them. This locale proved to be more complex than life in London, given Byron's excesses. When they returned to London, Mary was abandoned to a life of poverty again, where she wrote "Frankenstein". Eventually Mary and Percy found their way back to one another, he having changed a great deal. The movie was a wonderful piece of history brought to life.
After we dined at Sushi Jo, on Cliff and 8th. The sushi and other fare was very good and the conversation was excellent!
This movie was all the better since it was the last movie we will ever have to spend in the uncomfortable seats at the Rialto! Good bye to those horrible things!
