Raising awareness for Wheat.
Busy weekend. Busy week ahead. ::pause:: Yeah. ::pause::
Friday’s movies included Amelie and Psycho. Saturday’s movies included Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Life Is Beautiful. If ever there was a way to cram such a broad mixture of some of the best movies of all time into a short period of time, well then ever there was this weekend.
Amelie is amazing. Simply phenominal. I love foreign films, I do I do I dooo. The plot to this movie is universally catching and very humorous. Cinematically, I was impressed with the thought put into each shot and how the director accessorized each scene wonderfully. Oh I loves! I wants me this on DVD!
Psycho is fun. My first Hitchcock film, I do believe. Psycho isn’t incredibly scary, but it is thrilling and suspenseful. I was semi-unhappy with the ending and the mediocre plot twist, but regardless I enjoyed it very much. I think I should see more scary movies.
Kill Bill Vol. 1 was once again astounding and vigorously violent. A group from Abigail’s suite saw this one and I tagged along in step. Several people commented on how incredibly violent the film is, as did I after I saw it the first time. However this isn’t a violence equivalent to war movies, this is a predictable and oddly humorous violence. Good movie.
Life Is Beautiful is more than enthralling. I’ve seen many Holocaust films, but this just pales the comparisons. The title itself is so deep and layered that I could ponder its hidden suggestions for sleepless weeks. Without divulging into my innermost feelings about the film with words aplenty, I’ll just comment that I want this one on DVD too.
Then I remember than in 10 years DVDs will be obsolete. Maybe I’ll just memorize the lines to all my favorite films, at least that way I’d get a head start on learning French, Japanese, and Italian.
So today begins the truly hard-core study patterns that will continue until finals are over. I am willing to brutalize my mind for an end that will justify all means. The end justifies the means. That’s right.
It’s hard to blog when you’re hungry, tired, and exhausted. ’tis.
