Movie review of "In America"
This, is a movie review.
I recently watched this movie on TMN (yes, I am spoiled on this movie channel stuff), its called "In America". I gotta say, its definitely a goodie, from my tastes. I never write reviews really, so I don't know how to start this one. I am just going to blabble around, and maybe some times soon I will get there. Who knows, I might wanna do a impersonation of some celebrity, or George "Dubya" Bush.
At first when I heard the name of this movie, I thought this might be just another government funded film that focus on raising patriotism. It isn't. It is about this family who immigrated into the country from Ireland, moving into New York. Ireland to New York, what a big transition. They went from Canada into the US, and moved into the run-down places of New York. In this family, there is the father Johnny (Paddy Considine), mother Sarah (Samantha Morton), and 2 sisters Christy (older) and Ariel, who are played by Sarah and Emma Bolger respectively. They had a son named Frankie, who unfortunately passed away before they emigrated, due to complications from a tumble that resulted in Cancer.
While there are times when Jim Sheridan (director) focused on the harshness of making a stand in a New World, this movie isn't about that. This movie is about family unity, about struggling yet keeping your values in sight, about staying together as a family unit in the hard times (unlike most of the people these days who just say DIVORCE and let go). This movie is about humanity at its more pure form, and also in a positive light. This movie is about believing, when you don't want to, about make believe of something that just by believing could change your world. This movie is about Hope, even when all other things fail.
Superb acting from the wonderous cast. The 8 and 11 year old sisters acted like veterans, and perchance their innocence had something to do with why they fit into their roles so snugly. Go watch it. I wanna make you watch it, but I can't. Still, this movie will change your life, hopefully, if not, it would make it seem prettier, even in the streets of downtrotten New York.
Please watch it, and not just acknowledge my post. If you need money for renting it, I will reimburse you.
My mind is on so much more than just movies. I still don't trust anyone, and now I need someone to talk to face to face, but I can't trust anyone enough to talk to them. I feel like hurting people who comes too close, but I won't because I always have control. I am coping with having more than one view on everything, but it requires a lessened emotional response. In order to function, I can't feel as much as I used to. Life holds as much meaning for me as Death, and I look forward to nothing. Just a rant, because you can't help me. Because I don't trust you. Why? I don't know why. Why don't you find out for yourself?
I don't even know why I bother looking for Lauren or Alex or Jess or any other fucking person in the world. For those of you who are confused, yes, I am the same person who wrote the above review, and my moods fluctuate faster than the gas prices. I can't tell them whats in my head, they can't help me, and I can't talk to them face to face. I don't want no one near me, but I can't do this alone, what the hell do I really want? I don't fucking know. RANTING. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. You shouldn't even be reading this. Why do you give a shit? I don't need smart ass comments, because if you are smart, you wouldn't be on my journal, you be making arguments and essays on yours. I don't need pity comments, because I know you are just saying it to make yourself feel like you are helping, or to feel less guilty about knowing someone like this.
Go watch the movie.
