I'm getting the book

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2013)

I didn't expect this. When the academy awards came out I didn't understand why the best actress didn't go to the old lady in Amour. Now maybe I have a clue. I laughed all the way through the first half and laughed sometimes through the second half. Jennifer presented a characteristic girl consistently; in the dancing competition she was like a princess but she was still this girl. Everyone needs a girl like her in his life. She really makes who you are. And after making it all about you, she will show her vulnerability and it's your time to take care of her and that's when you grow. The story is a little bit like the epic of Gilgamesh for me. I can identify with the main character. The story deals with modern problem; everyone is insane and sick in some way, yet with strong will, companion and help, we can finally overcome shitty situations and be happy. My parents are lunatics and I'm still pretty green in the dating field. At the age of 18, stepping into finding friends and partners, I need this exact movie in my freshmen year. The camera is skillful. It makes the audience feel sick and angry when it wants to. And the dance competition scene and the kissing scene are dreamy and like a modern version fairy tale. This movie is a modern version fairy tale. I first felt like ending the movie with the beautiful shot of them kissing and all the Christmas lights, but after second thought, I agree this movie needs a final scene to tell people explicitly that they live happily ever after, which is the ending Pat wanted since he hates Hemingway so much.
