Functional French, Tuesday, Period 2

[one-who-goes.livejournal.com]

Henry wheeled a TV set to the front of the classroom as the students arrived. "It feels like a movie day today," he mused. "Doesn't it? We're watching La Fortune Merveilleuse d'Emilie Roulain. It's kind of a magical-realist thing about a shy girl who decides to play fairy godmother to the people around her."

Clare loved the movie; Henry went by what she said.

"I'm going to leave the subtitles off, but if you feel like you desperately need them, let me know and I'll turn 'em on."

A few moments of fumbling with the remote, and the movie began to roll. Henry retreated to a spot at the side of the classroom, keeping half an eye on the screen.

[OOC: I have a huge project due at work today, so y'all get movie week a week early. Whee.]

Jono actually found himself enjoying this movie, and settled back in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest, picking out the bits of French he could understand, and attempting to fill in the blanks with whatever context he could find.
