A Few Final YUGO Pics/ A Movie Post a Long Time Coming
I can't believe I'm making another post containing something about YUGO, but I couldn't resist adding commentary after seeing a few of these pictures.
This is where we would drop Jen off after lunch (like a daycare) in order to go to work peacefully.
That's so mean.
Okay, See? I'm not the only one who pretends to cry with the children.
Now this picture actually does the impossible; it makes me look helplessly tiny.
Normally I don't like making fun of myself (since everyone does it so often to me anyway), but self-deprecating humor is always the funniest.
Anyway, in keeping with the tradition, I will post the next three movies that I viewed, in order, a few weeks ago this summer. However, I don't have the sweet time or energy to post my normal amount of thoughts and commentary. I will for sure for the next post though.
Do the Right Thing (1989)
"I don't die in this movie, Motherf***er!" (Only people who have seen a few Samuel L Jackson movies will understand this caption.)
He doesn't swear in it either, I don't think. But yea, "Do the Right Thing" is a movie about racial tensions that explode violently that the end of a hot summer day. This is a Spike Lee Joint, so you know it's good. Enough said.
Quotes:
Mister Senor Love Daddy: My people, my people, what can I say, say what I can. I saw it but didn't believe it, I didn't believe what I saw. Are we gonna live together, together are we gonna live?
Tina: Trust you? The last time I trusted you, Mookie, I ended up with a son.
Dances With Wolves (1990)
Kevin Costner surprises me once again. At first, I refused to watch this movie because it beat out Goodfellas for Best Picture and Best Director. Now that I've given it a chance, however, I've found an engaging, unconventional western. It contains and mixes numerous genres effortlessly and effectively.
Quote:
Toughest Pawnee: Only a white man would make a fire for everyone to see.
Pawnee #1: Maybe there's more than one.
Pawnee #2: There may be three or four.
Toughest Pawnee: I know three or four who will not be making the trip home.
The Sweet Hereafter (1997)
This movie was a bit dissapointing. It is based on a fictional book that documents the effects of a tragic bus accident on the population of a small town. After reading a few rave reviews, I was expecting so much more. And, indeed, the film contains a handful of poignant scenes mixed with snowy cinematography that comes close to Fargo's beauty. Alas, the movie's conclusion defines "anticlimatic," since it simply ends without striking an emotional chord or without giving the audience a clue of how anyone is affected.
Quote:
Nicole: As you see her, two years later, I wonder if you realize something. I wonder if you understand that all of us-- Dolores, me, the children who survived, the children who didn't-- that we're all citizens of a different town now. A place with its own special rules and its own special laws. A town of people living in the sweet hereafter.
