This noodle film takes place in Gooey's kitchen.
The kitchen is square and it's about 7:OOPM.She has served the evening swill and is standing in a corner of the kitchen.The kiddies are displaced in tv and computer rooms,munching on her fine offering.
The odd thing...there is a bright ceiling light on in this kitchen, yet for some reason Gooey and her corner is cast in shadow,but we can still discern this pretty girl....she has on a light blue,simple ,throw on cotton dress..replacing her I Am Not Me day labor clothes.Her plate lays next to her on a counter..half picked over.She stares one of those far off stares.
At this point, I think someone would like to play a new composition...

...and so...let's soak it in for 2 minutes or so.
The camera now zooms slowly in on her face.Even though in shadow,we can still see her striking features.
And what strikes us most is...she looks so sad.
Forlorn.
Her eyes moisten.
And soon tears start to leave them.
Let's hold this view.
Because we do notice a long seguey.....a so slow one, as her sad face begins to brighten ever so slightly...ever so softly.........to a Mona Lisa like smile.
An artists hint of a happy thought.
The camera backs off, slow and easy.
And Gooey fades into deeper shadow.
But that little smile doesn't.....and that makes us happy.
