Indie films
I just finished watching this indie film I got off netflix called " 13 conversations about one thing"( i watched most of it late last night but paused it and watch the rest because i was falling asleep). That one thing is happiness and it was really an interesting movie.It was one of those movies that had all the different characters with their different storylines inertwined with each other in some way. Also, each story addressed a different kind of person like one had a guy who worked with that one guy who is always chipper, no matter what the day throws at him. You know the guy who makes you feel crappy about your life, like why can't that be me. And it makes you resent his happiness, makes you wish he would be miserable for once like you. Then there was this young girl who worked as a maid for so wealthy man, and she talked about how happy one must be with money. But then she goes on to say that people who have money always worry about losing it so are never really that happy. It goes on to show disatisfaction with relationships and so on and so forth. Each little conversation certain key parts of it that were like little bits of insight on the subject. I just remember in one conversation, the girl was talking about how in the city (they were in NYC) there a millions of people living around each other trying hard to ignore each other. It just struck me as so true. She was saying how each person needs 18" of space and how isn't it crazy to actually put a actual number to it. 18". There were just so many thing about the movie that really perked my interest. One bitter profession was talking to this guy that was hounding him about a test grade because he needed to pass the class to get into med school. The professor turns to the kid and says, " Why do you want to be a doctor anyways." The kid replies, " So i can help people". To that the professor responds, " Help people? How by prolonging their misery?" The movie had very insightful dialogue as well as good symbolism and cinematography. I liked it a lot. I have come to find that I like a lot of inder films lately. Though I just canceled my netflix ,since i have barely anytime to watch my movies anymore, when i start that account back up again, i'll make sure to rent more indie films. Indie films are so deeper than main stream films. Lately, I haven't a the urge to see any movies that are in the theater. None.
Last night holly, robyn, her roommate Cassey, ted, matt, and I went to see the prescreening of " North Country". Holly's old roommate , Kristen, invited us to it at AMC 20. I went because it was free although I didn't have too much of a desire to see it. The movie was well done although I wanted to punch so many people in that movie. As a woman, that movie addresses every hardship that comes to a woman due to her sex..grrr. Anyways, it was a pretty good movie. I found that indie films leave a much more lasting impression on me. I don't know. Maybe it's the artsy side of me that is drawn to it. All I know is that inde movies are more interesting to me lately than the ones that are heavily advertised.
