GET HUBBIED

Sad film with a slightly satisfactory end via the main characters softening from a crotchety professor feared by his students and cuckolded by his young wife - 1940 Mike Figgis

Tif and I went over to a very nervous pair of men, camera shy, but they had no need to be. I've known them for years and have had the culinary pleasure they dole out when at their home. It is my dream home, with a fireplace and a spectacular view, a large kitchen and good taste abounding.

This is the collage of images they hesitatingly provided:

A German man, in love with his wife. How's that for a catch phrase!? It was lovely to meet Christian Wizick through my friend George Pocari. He and his wife have undergone some major obstacles, but his first priority is family. He would rather be living in the United States, but will stay in Germany for the sake of unity. His wife was in Germany at the time of the interview, so I interviewed him solo about being not solo. I was moved to witness such unselfishness and sacrifice.

What struck me the most deeply, other than the fact that Christian has his head on his shoulders and his priorities in line, is that he sacrificed his dream job for his family. They were more important to him than anything else. This jolted me. I have met very few people, in fact I'm having a hard time thinking of ONE person, who has made such a big life decision and sacrifice for the other.
