That's a metaphor. Because my life is obviously not a movie, but I compared it to one, without using the words "like" or "as." I need to get out of this town. It's too small. I want a city. I want Paris, truthfully. I want to walk around, to converse in a strange tongue. I want London. I want to walk through gardens. I want /Europe/. Or just a city. I want an aquarium. I want a museum. I want culture. I want people. Springfield is so small. So uncultured. I went through an anti-culture shock when I moved here. Lalala we all have our problems. Count your blessings, sweet heart.
