i watched "Little Miss Sunshine" last week, and cried. lots of people watched it and were disappointed...i loved it. it punched me in the face. i mean that family was screwed up, and they still managed to love each other more completely than most. i don't even know what else to say about it, because i know i won't say it right. if you haven't seen it, watch it.
some people watch movies for entertainment, and then move on with their lives. not me. most movies i watch affect me in some way or another. for example: when i watched "A Good Year" i actually had a conversation about how God might feel about me living in Europe, doing nothing, for the rest of my life. the next day i watched "Syriana" and got SO pissed, i considered going back to school for political science so i could figure out some way to get "in the system" and force change. see...i do not just kick back with a good film. it somehow changes my thinking, if only for a short while. this is why i cannot watch scary movies. i will literally lose sleep afterwards...it doesn't matter how ridiculous the monster looked...he could be real...you don't know.
so yah, "Little Miss Sunshine" inspired me to be more honest...to love completely and honestly and no matter what. you know what is sad? i told someone about it, but they said they won't watch it because the word fuck is in it, and they "don't agree" with that. that makes me sad. maybe it doesn't matter...it is just a movie after all...but still...i try not to use that word, i don't particularly love it...but sometimes fuck is just the only word that fits.
woh...how's that for a rabbit?
