This weeks movie was another awful movie. What I mean by that is by no means would I ever enjoy any of the last few movies we have watched. Singing in the Rain is the last movie I enjoyed. However, with that all said, it is and has been very interesting to watch these movies about movies. It was funny how when suggested by the movie specialist that Charlie make it have an epic film with sex, drugs, and conspiracy. When he did just that, it was hilarious. But at the same time the movie was not exactly enjoyable. I am just what the movie producers and writers think I am. I am a person who loves cliche endings. I am very dissapointed when things turn out unhappy at the end. Now I do enjoy movies that are epic like Shattered with Pierce Brosnan. That movie was totally unpredictable and the ending wasn't exactly cliche but it was not way out there either. Unfortunately, I guess I will never come to enjoy movies that try and represent things how they are. I want to see epic things and plot twists and really for the most part don't care if its historically accurate or not. Jo Beth recently shared the fact that Marcus Auerilis (probably spelt that wrong too) is mispelled on the sword in Gladiator and that things weren't completely histroically accurate. I think I would rather just not know as it is my favorite movie. I am currently watching Meet the Parents with Ben Stiller and although totally predictable, is great.
Next week I hope to start editing our movie. We filmed the week before spring break. I hope that I can put things together in a way that will represent what Imran and Jenny were planning. I was in a minor role in the movie and I found I am not much of an actor. But maybe like other editors I can help myself out and make myself look like, well not Tom Cruise....maybe Kevin James. I like that guy.
I find it interesting that the director had the flowers growing over a number of days at the end of the movie. I am not altogther sure what he was going for, but with the movie being about flowers I guess it made sense. I think the best part of the movie was that part. I love Planet Earth and Life (shows about nature) and that gave the last thirty seconds a comfortable nature film.

I know exactly how you feel. I can appreciate those few movies that are wonderfully made and capture reality-even if it is disappointing. But for the most part, movies like this one and The Player have endings that are too twisted for me to enjoy. Although I know that life is not realistically filled with happy endings, I like to watch movies that do have happy endings in order to temporarily escape this.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised! I loved this movie and The Player. haha After a movie like this, I feel like my mind has had a workout, yes, but I enjoy the artistry behind these types of movies. I also like to rewatch them. I get something different out of the movie each time. However, I totally understand the extremely comfortable and satisfying feeling after you finish a wonderful movie with great characters and fun plot lines (even if they are a bit predictable sometimes). It depends on my mood on which type of film I'd rather watch at the moment. ...Now that it's finals week, I could go for some Lion King.
