10 Day Challenge, Day 8




The challenge origin is from here.

Three films.  Not so easy.  These aren't necessarily my favorites, but they are ones I have enjoyed watching and got something out of.

1. Footloose.  Gosh, I love the 80s and defying authority to put on a school dance.  :)

2. Little Children.  Interesting movie.

3. 500 Days of Summer.  Relationships, and the motivations of the people in them, are so complicated.

Despite my normal dislike of romance movies, I watched 500 days of summer a few months ago and actually liked it. I discovered it because I found out that a song I liked was on its soundtrack, then looked up the wikipedia entry and decided it sounded interesting enough to watch.

It wasn't that much of a romance movie, seemed kind of depressing. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

The depressing aspect is one of the reasons I liked it so much. It seemed "realistic," as opposed to all the other romance stories out there where two people who for no real reason are "meant to be" randomly meet, have a conflict, and then make up and live happily ever after. OH PLEASE.

Yep, that's why I liked it too.
