Drunk Enough to Say I Love You

I agree with a lot of what Megan said, I definitely think this is something to be seen rather than read. I wondered if it should be read almost as a continuous monologue or with pauses and rests. Speaking would also give it more a musical, lyrical quality which is harder to see when it's read.

Most of the political stuff went completely over my head.

I think I wanted to see more of American as a person. I wanted the relationship explored more, as opposed to what they do in the relationship. The control on both sides. They both need each other, by the end that's very clear. I wanted them to be more of people. If you're personifying America, you might as well go all the way. All the political discussion, is that work or sex? Or is the difference between the two so blurred that it doesn't matter anymore. It seemed clear to me that Guy is in love beyond escape. Kind of like Bella and Edward from Twilight. That's disgusting. But what kind of patriotism is that? Is it patriotism? Is there a difference between love and what Guy seems trapped in? If Guy is a citizen, does Sam only need him or is there something beyond that? Should the country love its people or should it be a one-sided relationship?

I don't know if that's what Churchill set out to do, but those are the sorts of things I wanted to know.
