(no subject)
So the time has come in which I said I was going to update the news as to where my icon came from. I feel like after waiting that there should be something big, or something, but it's not much of anything. Now before I bash the whole thing I'll just say that it came from my book Guide To Getting It On! It's actually a really good book (for those of you who have any interest in books relating to some serious intimacy). Yup, that's pretty much it there. If you'd like the website for the book is www.goofyfootpress.com, and it has a few chapters from the book that you can read for free.
Anyway, I just watched another movie. I saw Adaptation, and it's hard for me to say just yet if I like it. It's not a particularly deep movie, but it is complex where I would almost describe it as having two movies in one, but with only one beginning, middle, and end. It's hard to explain really, which is why it's hard to start off my review without giving anything away. It's a very unique movie where I would have a hard time even trying to give it just one genre. I suppose I liked the movie, but I just haven't yet put it all together. I'd like to see it again some time I suppose. Again it's not one of those deep movies where you only fully understand it after watching it multiple times; you could get it all on your first time, but there's just a lot. Plus having decided that it's a good movie what's there to complain about seeing it again some time? Now what make my movie reviews different from other peoples is that mine hardly have anything to do with the movie at all. It all stems from the movie, but it's really about how the movie made me feel. It's funny because this movie is in so many ways opposite from Hitch. I'm not going to say in what ways because that could give away some big spoilers, but lets just say it is for all intensive purposes the opposite movie. I had for a while a very hard time relating to the main character which is weird because I usually get along with the socially awkward main characters. Like in the movie Sideways, I like him, but the guy in this movie was just so awkward that I had a very hard time liking his character. The good thing is that he develops in ways that I like very much, and for that reason I like the second half of the movie much more as he starts to develop. The quote of the movie, and I will hope that most people who have seen it will agree is, "You are what you love, not what loves you. I decided that a long time ago." And it doesn't mean as much unless you know what builds up to that quite I guess now looking at just that, but it's good, and it's very true. It's funny. The movie is very indirectly about love, yet that was the theme that again I have most picked up on. The love between friends, between brothers, between married people, boyfriend and girlfriend, parents, it's all there if you look for it. Maybe that's what the movie's supposed to be about after all, and not really about flowers, like it would have you believe. I don't know. Now I'm just picking apart at a movie that for most of this to mean anything to you, you must have first seen it. I'll say one thing for sure, the movie has got me thinking about things. Love for one, but life and death for another - all very primordial thoughts. I don't know really where I'm going with this, so I'll end it here and say that if you haven't seen it, you should, and if you have, what you thought of it because I'll say it's the type of movie that leaves me wanting to talk about. Anyway, everyone. I'm going to go maybe walk around outside for a bit, and then go to bed, so take care. Peace.
