well, i've graduated high school. so many chapters of my life are now completed. i'm finally starting to feel old, finally starting to feel life experiences under my belt. it's a weird feeling... but beautiful at the same time. i'm also in a real transitional period in my life, this summer is going to be a mix of waiting for college and clinging to this life, these friends, this city, this bed room, my mom. i don't really know how to feel.
i saw the strangers yesterday and i loved it. it was so real and raw to me. i liked how normal kristen and james were, they weren't able to out-psych the psychos or have some crazy scheme to get out -- they really were trapped, just like normal people would be in the kind of situation. also, whoever thought to put joanna newsom as the background music of *that one part* is SO FUCKING BRILLIANT. god, that was such a fucking good idea. liv tyler also did such a great job with her character. i already really admired liv as a person, but later on in the night i started to think about how well she made kristin into a delicate, sensitive, emotional, yet strong woman and it really blew me away. i really liked watching her progression through the movie from scared shitless to hopeless and the small glimpse of bravery she aquired from that hopelessness. it was a really simple and subtle movie that runs through your mind for hours after the movie, not one of those horror movies that focuses on gore and ultimately spells everything out for you. i usually stop thinking about movies as soon as i leave the theater, but this movie was in my mind all night long. i really recommend it.
