I'm Gretchen Rubin and this is a little happier.

It's so interesting to me what I remember.

Of everything that I've seen, experienced red and learned,

it's so strange to see what sticks over time.

Here's an example.

Back in 2009, the movie Avatar hit the movie theaters,

and it caused a huge sensation.

It was a giant blockbuster hit.

Avatar, it's a science fiction movie,

set on the alien world Pandora,

and the movie was famous for the extraordinary visual techniques

it used to show this world and its people.

The movie was long, two hours and 40 minutes.

So a lot happened, and there was a lot of beautiful imagery

and a lot going on.

But I don't remember anything about the movie at all,

except for one moment.

And it's a moment that could have been filmed

in the most ordinary way.

It just captured an ordinary moment between two ordinary people.

I haven't seen the movie since it came out,

so I may not even be remembering this correctly.
