About three years ago, I saw Igby Goes Down and decided that I related to Igby more than I had ever related to a character in a movie. I re-watched the movie recently and didn't like it nearly as much as I had then and could not understand how I ever related to Igby in any way.
Tonight, I watched My Girl for the first time in at least ten years and decided I relate to Vada Sultenfuss more than I ever have to any character in any movie, or any character in any book, or anyone I have ever met. I decided the same thing when I was nine. It was a bit of a transcending experience, both tonight and when I was nine years old.
