I like films...so I'm going to talk about some...



Hello!


I didn't sleep well again last night, and I am probably not going to sleep that well tonight either but we shall see. I haven't been feeling too great today, physically, I am okay nothing major just have had a headache all day, the kind that just lingers and stops you from really wanting to think about anything important or face anything. Yeah so I was a bit all over the place today I have not done anything productive, unless looking at shoes I can't afford is productive? Yeah I didn't think so. 

I have been feeling a bit off today and can't exactly pin down why. It is like from the moment I woke up this morning to now I have kind of just been coasting through the day not thinking about anything not doing very much and just being rather slow. Oh crap I hope I am not turning into a Sloth...hehe.



Anyway seeing as this is the most active I am going to be today I am going to make it count. I feel like talking about something that matters to me, which is an awful lot of things! So this is a little bit different, but just ranting about stuff I love is going to help me a lot. So I am going to talk about some of my favourite films...I am emphasising the SOME, because I love so many films and they all mean different things to me but I am going to just talk about these few that I will always come back to. Here goes. 


Firstly....


Yep, Monsters inc. This has a special place in my heart as it is one of the first Pixar films that I actually recall watching when I was young. It was one of the fist film that I used to annoyingly quote to my family. But what makes this film extra special for me is that I can watch it now and it still has the same effect on me now when I watch it I can still quote it, I still feel all the same emotions, I think this will always be a film that I love. 

Secondly...,



Philadelphia, this film out of the ones I am going to talk about today is the one that I have seen the least, I mean I have still watched it a fair few times just not back to back like the rest of these. So there is one specific scene that makes me fall in love with this film over and over again. So SPOILER ALERT...So Tom hanks' character Andrew Is suffering with Aids and fighting a court case, and there is a scene where he is going though some stuff with his lawyer Joe (Denzel Washington) and there is Italian opera playing in the background, and Andrew instead of focusing on what Joe is saying starts to explain what the singer is saying, every detail of her words and the pain in her voice. It is almost as if the character is talking us through his pain in the music, and Tom Hanks is spectacular throughout this and I cry every time at this scene and am left breathless every time. I love this because the acting is brilliant, but also it shows how powerful music can be and how it can turn a scene from being a man talking about pain to a scene where everyone feels the pain. 


Geez that was a long one.... Thirdly and Finally....





500 days of Summer. This has got to be up there with one of my favourite films of all time. Just because its funny, I love the actors in it, and the story is my kind of story. What I mean by that its both like a fairytale romance but with the harshness of reality. BRILLIANT. Again music matters to me, this was one of the first films that I owned the soundtrack to. I love that the story is narrated, its being told but without it being patronising or boring. If I were to recommend a film to someone to watch it would be this one just because it's a film that isn't trying to be something its not. 


So that was a bit random but it certainly helped me to concentrate on something! I like a lot of things, and being able to talk about them and share what makes them special to me, makes me feel content. I could talk for hours about stuff I like. And I probably will....:)


And my song for today is this...enjoy! 



Till tomorrow...
