Imagine Me & You (2005)
Hmmm....good movie but it sends a bad message....
OK, I just watched the movie and I do agree, it was really well done.
Now, to clear this up first, I am SO not against lesbianism. I've been with women myself and enjoyed it immensely. I, am with a man, and have been for 3 1/2 years. I am attracted to women as well. I also can't honestly say which gender I prefer either.
OK, so, in this movie, it does put the point across that Rachel likes men. She considers her husband her best friend AND lover. Yes, she becomes curious about Lucy because she feels an instant attraction to her and there is nothing wrong with that.
The thing that bothers me about this movie is that it condones infidelity, lying to your partner, and in the end divorce. Bad choices all around. It basically condones what people of today's society do over and over again ; to not take marriage as serious as it truly is meant to be and this IRKS me. She could have not pursued this woman and stuck to her vows, and probably would have eventually moved on and not felt like she was "missing out". Or, she could have been HONEST with her husband about her feelings and not lied and gone behind his back. Society today does not take vows seriously and thrives on lying and cheating. It's horrible. Nothing between two people is sacred anymore and films like this only make it appear to be a glamorous thing rather than what it truly is. What it truly is, is hurtful. Be honest people.
I mean Christ, in the end of the movie the husband is crying to his wife's little sister, and then it steers off to showing his wife running through traffic to stop Lucy from leaving town, like it's a beautiful thing....it just isn't cool.
It would have been a great movie if it was about Rachel discovering her sexuality WITHOUT destroying her husband because he did nothing wrong to her in the entire film. He was an absolute gem actually.
Yes, I know it's only a movie, but what message are we sending with films like this? That it's OK to destroy our loved ones and lie to them? Not right.
Like I said, it would have been great if there was no busted husband involved in the whole scenario. It ended up making me angry.
Last Days (2005)
My lord..
I can't even *risk* writing a spoiler for this so called film because there was no substance to it whatsoever. It was horrible, probably the worst film I've ever watched and I watch A LOT of movies. I was actually pretty agitated after watching it.....it had so much pointless conversation that I actually felt hate. It irritated me that much. I was looking forward to seeing a film about Kurt Cobain, learn a little more about him because I don't know that much, but if this is how he is portrayed by others, my lord....what an insult to him. I don't recommend watching this film to anyone....it only made me sit and swear through the whole thing because it went nowhere, and I'm actually a pretty tolerant person. Yeesh....
