Elegy is one of my all time favorite movies, this review will contain spoilers because I am more discussing why I relate and love the movie so much. Click away if you don`t want to know the story and just go watch it because it is amazing.
So why, why do I love this movie so much? Because it is raw and honest and cuts to the bone. David Kepesh reminds me so much of who I could become, who I was…am perhaps. He moves from woman to woman trying to run away from growing up and eventually he finds out that the years pass whether you wish to acknowledge them or not. Time doesn’t care if we try to live young, it doesn’t discriminate. The long list of magnificent quotes in this movie which rings so true are just amazing. The end reminds us that everyday we get is one we shouldn’t take lightly, love comes and love goes just as we do, You never know, you just never know if tomorrow will be the first of many or the last of few. I try to live my life the best way I can but we all make mistakes and we all have fears and like Kepesh I find myself scared of growing up, of surrendering to what is expected but at the same time wanting that love and companionship in my life.
Every year my birthdays feel closer and closer together and the months seem to fly by. I think it gets scary at this age because your just old enough to realize that you…. yes YOU are going to die…. it’s not optional, it is. Sometimes I find myself taken back by that truth, I wonder how it will feel and if I will regret. I wonder if I would be missed, I wonder who I will miss. This movie is the most honest depiction of this painful truth because he did everything you could and lived a wonderful life and in the end, his friends, his love…. it will all be gone and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.
So tonight we went to see Paranormal Activity and we were really pleasantly surprised if you enjoy Japanese Horror it’s pretty Likely you will enjoy this movie it creeps you out and when you get home you may begin to question noises, sounds and things around your apartment. If I had a complaint I really don’t know what it would be most of the dialogue was very good and realistic there was the odd weird bit but generally it was really very good. I would recommend you go see it and I really don’t know if the big screen helped it maybe I will update this when I have watched it on DVD.
So we watched Jennifer’s Body not expecting much more than to get to drool at Megan Fox and boy did we get what we wanted she looking frikin hawt!! the movie itself was pretty much in the OK catagory but for the kiss scene, honestly it could have sucked sooooooooo bad and we probably wouldn’t have minded.
