Madison
Thursday, August 6, 2009
This afternoon at 5:42 p.m., I learned that we have The Bridges of Madison County right here in Sophia! Indeed, the owners of a local eatery decided to call their establishment “Sur la route de Madison” (in an Indiana Jones font, no less), the film’s French title. This is odd: first, the French title implies that the action unfolds on a road in Iowa leading to a place called Madison, but there is, in fact, no such place in that state (there is a Fort Madison, but it’s in a different county). Second, there is is not a single covered bridge in Sophia that I’m aware of, so the reference to this movie seems even stranger. Finally, neither Meryl nor Clint were around. I hope the food is less disappointing than that. But the movie? Call me sentimental, but I like it very much.
