As a young boy I learned from William Pène du Bois’s fanciful adventure story The Twenty-One Balloons that a balloon flight on a fine day is a smooth experience with little sense of movement.
It sounds very memorable. Tell me: did you watch Andrei Rublev the day before to prepare yourself? Ha ha ha. When I was a teenager, I was stupid enough to re-watch Unbreakable (a favorite of mine) the day before I went on a long train ride. I wasn't scared, but I was definitely more nervous during that trip.
No, Christopher, but I definitely thought about Andrei Rublev while they were prepping the balloon for launch and Suz was saying things like “I wonder how badly things went for the first person to try this”! I thought about Andrei Rublev; I did not talk about it!
