I was grotesquely grossed out.
but i liked it
The acting was superb, as everyone else has been saying but I also enjoyed the plot. It was touching and revealed a scary world to me that I was unaware of. I don't really know what to say about it that hasn't been said, but I did like it and would recommend it to anyone that doesn't mind blood and nudity. I wouldn't recommend seeing it with a someone you could feel awkward around. BUT SEE IT
moving on, I've been watching a lot of films so
"AMERICAN TEEN" WAS SO HEARTBREAKING AND EMOTIONALLY DRAINING.
it follows a group of seniors during their last year of high school and chronicles all the typical high school stuff, and as a high school student I really related to it. I felt so involved with each of the characters by the end of the film, I was driven by their dreams and hurt by their actions. I don't know, it was weird, but I felt like I knew each of the kids? I'm pretty sure that's what the director, Nannette Burstein, was going for and it definitely makes the movie a lot more enjoyable. I cried a lot. =[
Ok, one more amazing movie I've seen is "Horton Hears a Who."
I was skeptical at first because "Aw man, this is animated it's going to be boring because it's a bunch of baby jokes and Dr. Seuss and blah blah blah," but it was really good. There were certain scenes when I was just cracking up for several minutes. Also, I was really impressed by the religous undertones? Maybe because I'm a good ten years older than the target age group I just couldn't escape the "there is someone bigger than our world who is always protecting us" and the "I believe in that dude, so I'm going to be ridiculed and tortured." It was so interwoven into a cute comedy, and usually I would despise this, but it just made the movie a million times cuter. This is the perfect movie to watch when you are on the verge of a three hour nap after a long morning.
