Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

One movie that I found to be very thought provoking and mind boggling was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Although confusing at first I really enjoyed viewing this movie. I had to watch it several times in order to piece things together. My first time viewing it was not by choice. I had only heard of the movie once before seeing it, but I did not know what it was about. My sister and I decided to spend some quality time together, so she rented the movie. I found the movie to be very boring when it first started. It was not until he was going thru the process of losing his memory did I find the movie interesting. The music played in the movie had a large impact on the mood the movie put me it. The music was very slow. Most of the music was being played by a piano and some type of string instrument. It put me in a very calm and relaxing mood which was how the characters in the movie where. The main thing that I liked about this movie was that they relived all their memories threw their dreams. In turn, the main character fell back in love with is ex-girlfriend. There is no way possible that this could ever happen. I have heard of pills one can take to make them forget about past memories, but the people that do not take the pill will always remember what happen and may one day tell the person either on accident or on purpose. This is exactly what happened in the movie. Before the neighbor of the main character received the letter about the guy getting rid of the memory he asked him how he and his girlfriend were doing. Although this movie was not realistic, I felt it was a good movie.

Waiting to Exhale

I do not exactly remember when “Waiting to Exhale” was released, but I remember that it came on TV a lot when I was a child. Whenever it came on I never watched the movie from the beginning to the end. I would always watch pieces. Last summer me and my friends were having a girl’s night and decide to watch the movie. I found it very interesting the different roles that the characters were portraying. The role in which Angela Basket played was a role that portrayed the black women in America who dedicate their whole lives to their children and husband. They put everything aside in their lives and put their loved ones before theirs. In this case, as well as many others, the wife was a stay at home mother while the husband made a lot of money. When the woman’s husband left her, she became very upset when she found it that he left her for a white woman. This is something that many African-American women become upset about today. They get mad when a white woman “steals” their husband. The character that Lela Devine played, Robin, was also an interesting character to me. She was in love with a married man who seemed to not even care that much about her. Like many cases, the man says he will leave his husband and never will. She portrayed herself as a woman who sleeps around. After she finally decided to leave the married man she decided to date a man at work. After getting mad with him she called up a random guy. When she came to her senses she went back to the married man and became pregnant. This is something that many women do today. After being dumped by one guy they go to another.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I had seen only one trailer for the movie the Curious Case of Benjamin Button before going to the movies to see it. My friend begged me to go with her to see it so I did because I had nothing else to do. I did not know what to expect the movie to be like before seeing it. The beginning started out kind of slow and a little bit confusing. As the movie progressed and started talking about how he was born I began to catch on as to what was going on. I never thought of something like this ever happening. It was a very thought provoking movie. One of the most intriguing things about the movie to me was that he fell in love. When they first introduced the little girl in the movie I did not think she would have an important role. When they started to become closer to each other’s age I did not think that they would end up together, but she decided to give it a chance. It was so romantic to me when they first moved in together. They seemed so in love. When she became pregnant I was trying to figure out how he would be able to raise her and was saddened when I realized he was not going to be able to. I must admit that I cried when Benjamin left her and the baby. Another thing that I found interesting was the fact that he was able to have a job on a ship and no one noticed that he was getting younger instead of older. The men on the boat should have noticed that as they got older and weaker, Benjamin was getting younger and stronger. In my opinion this was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
