This Week's Movie-going

Adam 3.5/5

Adam made me feel less uneasy about losing a seemingly fruitful relationship, and realize, that particular person and our relationship helped me grow, and although we have grown apart, neither would hesitate to lend the other a helping hand. I also found Adam inspiring, in a looking at the glass half full kind of way, despite Adam losing his father, job, and new found relationship, all while coping with his disability, he does not let an opportunity for the job of his dreams slip away, at a moment where Adam looks as if to give up, spurts a moment of now or never, and Adam vouches for now, turning his life around towards a positively amazing new path. Heaven knows I need that push...

Taking Woodstock 4/5

Taking Woodstock was another film I found inspiring to get out and just do it, make it happen! As you can tell, I am still feeling stuck in limbo, have been for over a year now and I am working towards big change, but I feel that, a number of things are holding me back and I cannot quite put my finger on them, rather I avoid putting my finger on such things. But, back to Taking Woodstock, Elliot is stuck in a drab town where he cares for his two parents, throughout the film it is clear that Elliot dreams of the freedom to be himself and making his way to San Francisco where he could become a prominent designer, it isn't until a number of events, brought upon by Woodstock coming into town, that Elliot realizes his parents no longer rely on his care and only want what is best for him, Elliot finally gets that final push to making his dreams a reality... Also, this movie made me want to get naked and drop acid like it's 1969!

Cold Souls 4/5

Cold Souls, I found deeply thought-provoking, a peculiar concept of soul storage? Cold Souls made me do some self reflection, and made me appreciate my every flaw, and all those dark thoughts that whirl in my head, they don't seem so bad after all, they shape who I am and I would feel lost without them, as much as I wish not to have them. Really made me appreciate my melancholia and I still feel that happiness and happy people are a bore, although I certainly grasp onto happy moments in my life as if holding onto dear life itself. Life is wonderful, even amidst all the pain. Also, even though I do not believe in God, I absolutely do believe in the human spirit... figuratively speaking?
