Queen Effy is back! - Skins Fire (2)



We're all aware of the structure of Skins episodes. The two-parter of each generation. Where the first season was filled with wild parties and casual sex, the second season that follows was all about consequences. The loss of party animal Chris, within the first generation (Season 2) and Freddie being brutally murdered in the second generation (Season 4). So it was only natural that this very last season of Skins followed that same structure.

In the first part of Skins Fire we got a glimpse of Effy Stonem's new life and how she manages to work her way up in the business world. We know that this episode will be the consiquence episode for Effy's actions last week by committing financial fraud. We open up several months later with Effy working living the high life while sleeping with her boss Jake on a regular basis, she's definitely got it so "fucking together".


Meanwhile, Naomi's health isn't looking that great, but "Naomly" fans would be happy to hear that Emily makes an appearance. Although Naomi decides to keep her cancer a secret during her visit. Right until the point where the doctors tell her that her condition is terminal.

Now this was the point I suspected the internet to explode...It did. Although I think the fate of these characters are just plain cruel on the writers part, I can't help but think it fits in well with the Skins theme. The ending for Effy's character however I thought was not what I would have expected.

MOTEL CALIFORNIA! (Teen Wolf S03E06)

I've probably said this about every episode this season, but I can't help it. Season 3 of Teen Wolf is just getting better each episode. I don't know what it is about the horror genre, I love the thrill of being scared. We've established that this season of Teen Wolf would be darker and more mature. Let me just take this time to list all the things I love about this show, The friendships (Scott/Stiles), Their ability to turn the most cliche character turn a not so cliche twist- if that even makes sense (Lydia), Successfully introducing a character halfway into the seasons with an interesting backstory and storyline (Isaac Lahey), Very goodlooking men losing their shirts and turning into werewolves every 3 minutes and Derek (sexy) Hale.

The episode starts off with a look at the past. A suicide that occurred inside a motel room. The screen then cuts off and the cross country team stops at the same motel for the night. The setting of this episode is amazingly creepy. Setting the mood for the audience. This episode was different to the others, it wasn't fast-paced and didn't show much of the on-going druid mystery, but it was effective. 'Motel California' was almost like a step aside from all the drama in Beacon Hills, in fact it was literally that. The psychological terror of this episode played with the minds of the werewolves, Scott, Boyd, Isaac, and Ethan.

In this episode the werewolves are acting strange, and it's up to team Stiles, Lydia and Allison to put together the clues and save the day- with the extra help of Lydia's weird abilities to hear things, of course. I'm dying to know what is up with her.



Meanwhile, the wounded Derek is being "nursed" back to health by the teacher Ms Jennifer Blake... you all know what happens next.

Back at the motel strange stuff was happening to the young werewolves, Boyd punching vending machines- maybe he was just hungry, but I think we were meant to view it as "strange" he was also hearing voices from the radio, voices from the past, I'm guessing, I wasn't completely sure, while also seeing girls in his freezer.



Isaac hallucinating about his dad yelling at him and being trapped inside the ice container.



Even Ethan, one of the big bad alpha twins starts to go crazy in the middle of making love to Danny.



Scott was found outside near to committing suicide after hallucinating that his mother died.

Lydia figures out a way to stop the werewolves from trying to kill themselves, fire.



In the end we found out that the reason the werewolves were acting suicidal was because someone put wolfsbane inside the coach's whistle- because that's not ridiculous at all, and it turns out the cross country was canceled so they all went back home.

At the end of the episode we see Allison's dad visit the grandpa, remember him? he went crazy at the end of season 2 after controlling Jackson and getting Derek to bite him so he won't have to die of cancer but he started bleeding black goo and the team took their eyes off him for a second and he ran off. Yeah, he's apparently in what looks like a werewolf retirement home or something? Anyway, I'm sure they'll explain it all next episode.

Queen Effy is back! - Skins Fire (1)



When the first talk of the last season to the legendary series Skins came around I have to admit I was a little skeptical. Growing up with the series I'd hate for them to ruin it by making it a more "mature" season.

The fun, noisy and rapid opening of Skins is now a quieter, straight forward theme that follows the episode. In this episode we follow the queen Effy herself as she has gone far from her crazy days in high school and is now spending her days getting coffee at a big firm. Throughout the episode we see her trying to work her way up with her old ways constantly tempting her, as we all know how much she loves danger and thrill.

While watching I was quite surprised at the whole episode, I wasn't sure what to think of it. It's a lot more deliberate and quick, I was impressed. Though I can't help but notice the resemblance between her boss and Freddie... 
I can't wait to catch up with the other characters.

Would you rather: Vampires vs Werewolves

Let's forget about Team Edward or Team Jacob. The Salvatore brothers, Forwood/Klaroline and even the sexy cast of Teen Wolf and think about this. Vampires or Werewolves?

I've thought about this a lot lately and well, I love all things supernatural, ask anyone, I am a little obsessed with this kind of thing and I love movies. So with all the movies I've seen (yes, even the old black and white classics, they're my fave!) I think werewolves are the winner here.

Let's see...

Vampires are creatures of the night, they have pale skin, they're fast and can fly, they're charming and sophisticated and....immortal.

All these things can win you over, I mean, who doesn't want that pale, quite mysterious guy sitting on the opposite side of the classroom who once you get to know is very charming and caring and smart, right? That is until you find out he's actually a blood sucking creature and hundred and something years old...or technically dead. I mean come on, their weaknesses are Sunlight, holy water, crosses and garlic. What? I mean, sure holy water and crosses are easy enough to stay away from, if you're not religious, but, garlic? Imagine how bad they would be to take to a dinner, isn't garlic in almost everything? Not to mention all they drink is blood which means you can't share an ice cream with them or be all couple cute by feeding each other in public like people do. What about sunlight, you can't take them to the beach to hang out with your other friends, they'll start to think this friend of yours is imaginary and cut you out. The final thought is, THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD, are you really considering necrophilia? Think about that.

Werewolves are shapeshifters, they're aggressive and almost like normal wolves, if not bigger, they're strong and fast, they can also heal themselves.

Basically they're just your average person...with a slight ability to turn into an animal and kill people. But, unlike the vampire they're not scared of a little sunlight, in fact they probably really love outdoors-y activities, they're only weakness is silver bullets and wolfs bane so as long as you get rid of those you're set. I mean, seriously, having a werewolf around is so much better, they're not dead corpses, they're not afraid of garlic which means taking them out to dinner will be heaps of fun and normal. They're strong and muscly, I mean, come on, that one goes without saying. I mean, yes, it's TECHNICALLY bestiality but I garuntee as soon as they take of their shirt you'll foget all about that, plus they're not corpses, which will make you sleep better at night.

Flashbacks are surprisingly effective. (Teen Wolf S03E05)

Let me just breathe for a second, because I was not doing any of that throughout the episode. MAKING US THINK DEREK WAS DEAD UNTIL THE VERY END?! HOW DARE YOU WRITERS DO THIS TO US!

The episode starts off with the whole school team being on a bus, including Ethan, Boyd, Isaac, Stiles, Scott and Danny, let me just point out that I really like the whole "Danny/Ethan" thing, and that's saying something because I haven't found a good on-screen gay couple that didn't annoy me, only because they're usually either too over the top or really whiny, so this who "crushing" thing that happened within this episode was really cute. Anyway, Isaac and Boyd look like they're about to flip the bus over and Scott is dying because of an alpha wound at the back of the bus next to Stiles. Meanwhile, Allison and Lydia are in the car behind the bus following them.

This episode was basically a flashback episode, which I thought was very effective, although it did make the episode seem far more shorter. Before we cut to the flashback we hear Scott mention that Derek was dead, that was when I lost the will to live, because...it's Derek. We then flashback to Scott finding out where Deucalion (yes, I've learnt how to spell his name) and the rest of his pack lives, he tells Derek who is already plotting a plan, let me just add that I underestimated Cora, I think she's a great addition to the group.

So basically in the flashback, Scott tries to confront Deucalion with Isaac which then turns out that Derek was following them, of course that led to the rest of the alpha pack showing up and the fight began. I must say I never really liked Allison but I have to admit if it wasn't for her they would've all died. 



Back in the present day Scott's wound isn't healing and Allison tries to stitch it up for him because Lydia suggested that it could all just be in his head, I love Lydia and her random moments to show off how smart she is. In attempt to stall the coach from leaving without Scott, Isaac somehow found out about what was happening to Scott and lost it as he starts to beat the crap out of Ethan. Isaac is so cute how he only listens to Scott! 

 

 

The episode then ends with Derek once again scaring the life out of Ms Jennifer Blake as he hits her car window with a bloodied hand before falling to the ground. Now, I've said this before, I have nothing against the teacher but why would Derek go to her out of everyone? I get it it's a great gateway to the potential love interest thing they've got going but...logistically someone like Derek Hale who has obviously got major trust issues would go to someone he's met twice for 3 seconds? really.



(Side note: Did anyone else love the scene where Deucalion visits Dennis at the vet place and pokes his eyes out?! I mean, I love all blood and gore but that actually made my jaw drop! Looks like there's promise in this TV Show villain)

Teen Wolf: Unleashed

Last episode of Teen Wolf was full of…I have no idea. I don’t even know how I feel about any of it. Let’s start with the little scenes before we get right into the main themes and plot of the show.
Now, I don’t know what- well, actually I know exactly what the writers are doing with the character relationship of Ms Jennifer Blake and Derek Hale and let me tell you, I am not a fan. I’m not saying this from the perspective of a Derek fangirl, BUT from the scenes I’ve seen, I just don’t see the chemistry. It was awkward and forced and… I don’t know, it’s just not doing it for me. (I’d like to point out that I am also NOT a Sterek shipper). 

The second thing on my list is Isaac Lahey. I don’t know why but this season  has basically been a “Let’s pick on Isaac" theme. I love the fact that the writers have decided to explore more of his back story, because, yes, he looks like a perfect statue of a greek god come to life but his past has seriously messed him up and that kind of trauma stays with you, which is seen by the flashbacks he has when confined in a small space, it’s no wonder he seems to be on the verge of a meltdown this season.
 
Okay, let’s get down to it. The episode started off with yet another murder of a guy while he's looking for his dog after going to the vet. He looks under a car and gets bitten, but it wasn’t his dog who bit him, so, OF COURSE he had to stick his hand back under… Idiot.
Meanwhile Stiles is stressing out about being a virgin because of his virgin human sacrifice theory last episode.

 
 
Duke being the “Alpha of Alphas" is actually really amazing! Teen Wolf have managed to create more than one villain on the show and I must say it is making the show even better. That is...until he went a little crazy during his monologue and cracked his glasses... but I still really like him as the villain.

Towards the end of the episode we see more of Scott's boss (who's name escapes me) getting more involved, which is about time too seeing as he always seems to know everything about everything before everyone else does. Overall it was a pretty great episode that ended with the opening to yet another mystery plot, which shows just how promising this new season will be.

Twisted (S01E02)

I know I should've started my post from the first episode but I've had end of semester exams (uni's killing me) So, I'll just start with this weeks episode.

A phsyco murder mystery for teens? Now, I'm a Pretty Little Liars fan but also a Bates Motel fan and something about this show seems dark and...almost combining those two shows together which really made me like it. Basically, Twisted, follows a teenage boy, Danny who comes back to the small town he grew up in after spending 5 years in juvy hall, after murdering his aunt.

'Twisted' Review: A 'Psycho' Murder Mystery for Teens

The episode starts off with the events that happened at the end of last weeks episode, the death of Regina. We are also being introduced to a necklace who was worn and stolen from Regina. It was revealed in the last scene of the first episode that it was Danny's aunt's necklace. I wasn't sure how the mystery would kick off until I saw Danny holding the necklace in his hands, which raises the question of him killing the girl or not.

Personally, I like the way the show has created Danny's character and I really hope they don't ruin it with a bunch of melodramatic cliches. Just once in a TV Show I'd love to see the main character NOT a hero or hero in disguise. I'm actually curious to see what they'll do with his character because right now, I like how he doesn't seem like the character that screams out "Look at me, feel sorry for me, I'm just misunderstood" all the time.. I want him to be bad. Does that make sense? I mean, obviously people need to sympothise with him a little bit, but not like they do in every teen drama, you know?

I honestly thought I could write more but there was really nothing much that happened on this weeks episode.

Teen Wolf - Fireflies.(S03E03)

I can honestly say I am absolutely loving the new season of Teen Wolf so far. I have to be honest, when the show started I was watching it only for the sake of having something to watch, but over the years it has really grown on me. I was extremely surprised when season 3 came out to see the show growing up with the cast. It no longer has that light, shallow, teen vibe. It's darker, much more intense and there's an incredible amount of depth in the characters, and I guess it doesn't hurt that the cast got better looking. haha (ALL THE TOPLESS MEN!)



Watching this episode was incredibly intense, and I loved every minute of it. The look and the feel of this episode was incredible! The episode being set at night made some very suspenseful moments in a couple of the scenes, but not as suspenseful as the opening scene, with the two little kids catching fireflies before Boyd tries to hunt them. Only after a few minutes of making these adorable kids fear for their life, does Scott save them. The remainder of the episode revolves around trying to catch the two werewolves rampaging all over town. We see almost all the characters working together in this episode and it's really nice, what made it even better was bringing Chris Argent back (He's awesome!).

As the episode goes on things just get even more intense, even for Lydia and Stiles. We still haven't figured out what's linking Lydia to all of this but I think I have a few theories (might keep it to myself for now, though). By the end of the show we see Derek on the ground after ripping apart Boyd and Cora and I just...(WHY?! THAT WAS HIS SISTER!).



We then see Derek helping Miss Blake up from the little corner she was hiding in and to be honest (NO!) what are the writers getting at here? (You know they're making her important to the show in some way/potential love interest or something) Yes, yes I know a show needs love interests but...I'm just not really feeling this one. I'll give her a chance I guess...

 

The show ends with yet another mystery and more reason to watch the show, as Stiles mentions something about human sacrifices. Now, I don't know what it is, but I'm really liking this new and improved Teen Wolf. THIS is what I want to see in a supernatural tv show. The horror element they have gone with this season is amazing and I can't wait for the next episode.

Writers giving us false hope. (That 70s Show/Jackie&Hyde)


Jackie and Hyde. Hyde and Jackie. They were perfect, right?

I have to admit I was a little late to the "That 70s Show" party. I watched it when it was airing but then I took a little break...well, a long break, and not long ago I decided to re-watch them all again. It'a been about 6 or more years since I last watched the show so there was a lot of things I had forgotten, which made watching it more fun because it felt just like watching a new show. 

I finished watching all 8 seasons of the show a few days ago. The 8th season was better than I'd expected after watching season 7 and not enjoying it as much. First of all, I thought doing the last season without Eric (Topher Grace) and Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) was a little risky, but as the season went on it didn't bother me as much. The only thing that bothers me and will probably never stop bothering me is the fact that Jackie and Hyde did not end up together. As much as I love Fez I honestly don't see them together... I really don't.

At the start of the show you saw the progression of the Donna/Eric relationship and you knew it was made to work out, no matter what. Even their breakup and Donna being single throughout the last season I knew they would somehow make it work towards the end.

Jackie's relationship with Hyde really interests me, I mean we can all argue and say it was the cliche, with the whole opposites thing, but to me it really worked and the show did a really great job not making it predictable, until of course the end!

The Hyde/Jackie relationship starts off slow. Before the episode Kiss of Death it’s safe to say they both hated each other. Hyde was always telling Kelso to break it off with Jackie but also didn’t approve of him cheating on her behind her back. Although they are convinced of loathing each other they somehow seem to connect in a way. Jackie trusting Hyde whenever she’s upset and Hyde enjoying their connection.

The episode Kiss of Death through to Jackie bags Hyde, Jackie catches Kelso cheating and seeks comfort in Hyde. They spend time together as Hyde teaches her the art of “Zen”. Hyde’s protective and romantic feelings begin to come out during this period. Defending her from Laurie and a date Jackie brings who called her “a bitch” behind her back. After their first date and their first real kiss in Jackie bags Hyde, he comes to realise his romantic feelings for Jackie. Jackie however, has a different response by saying that she didn’t feel anything.

I started to really like their pairing and the way the writers wrote out their relationship. The pace they took with the character relationship was realistic, frustratingly slow, but real.


In season 4, neither of the two characters mentions their kiss to anyone, as if it never even happened and they also have limited interactions with one another. Although, Jackie and Hyde seem to have a certain closeness none of the other members of the group notice.

Season 5 and 6 was where their relationship really began, despite Donna and Eric’s disapproval. The reason this couple worked so well together is the way they learn from eachother. They learnt to be better both individually and as a couple. Throughout their relationships there were a few fights and breakups but it was nothing they couldn’t get through because in my opinion they were perfectly imperfect, which is what makes it fun to watch. Their first breakup was when Hyde walks in on Jackie hugging Kelso, thinking that she was cheating on him he goes off to a motel and spends the night with a nurse out of pain and anger. The next day Jackie reassures Hyde that she was only comforting Kelso. After hearing this Hyde confesses what he did and Jackie then breaks up with him. As an audience falling in love with these characters, their first breakup was hard to watch. Hyde was beginning to show real feelings and Jackie was even becoming nicer.

At the start of season 6 Hyde and Kelso, still fighting over Jackie and Jackie after being undecided about the both of them get back together with Hyde with the help of Kelso. As their relationship goes on their characters begin to grow better and better for eachother. Their strengths and weaknessess compliment eachother. The fact that they would do anything for eachother despite their pride is really pleasing to watch. Jackie growing out of her self-obsorbed rich girl stereotype while still maintaining to be herself and Hyde becoming a more caring person, towards her anyway. They both support eachother.

In the end of season 7 Jackie and Hyde have fights about Jackie wanting him to be more mature. In the episodes after this we see Jackie doubting Hydes love for her, which is understandable. This also led to their breakup. However, after a few episodes in they get back together, though by this time I was cautious of their relationship. I could tell the writers would do something terrible and not make them end up together.

The last episode of season 7 was heartwrenching. It gave the audience false hope about this couple. After Jackie goes off to Chicago, Hyde decides to go after her, this is where the audience smile and feel as though all is right in the world, I mean, the guy chases after the girl, classic fairytale move in a not so cliche kind of way, but NO the writers felt it wasn’t right, the happiness of the audience was CLEARLY NOT on their mind when they decided to throw in a naked Kelso implying that they were going to have sex, even though we all know that isn’t true, an untrusting Hyde thinks different and leaves.

In season 8 new writers to hold the fate of Jackie and Hydes relationship in their hands, they didn’t get back together. In fact they thought it would be much like old Hyde to come home and realises he was married to a stripper while on his intoxicating adventures in Las Vegas.
By the season finale we learn that Hyde’s single again because his wife was actually already married, Kelso works in Chicago, Donna’s going off to college, Eric comes back from Africa and he and Donna get back together and Jackie ends up with Fez.

Jackie and Fez...JACKIE AND FEZ? WHAT?! Really writers? Really?

KLAROLINE KLAROLINE KLAROLINE AND EVERYTHING INBETWEEN.


Okay, so after episode 4×13 of The Vampire Diaries I literally needed a few days to get over that “Klaroline” scene. Because i knew i wouldn’t be able to write this if I keep stopping to calm myself down throughout the process. I guess i just love “Klaroline” a little too much.

First off, let’s begin let’s begin by talking about the episode. I have to admit for the past few weeks I was getting a little bored with how the show was going lately, so coming into this episode i really wasn’t expecting much, having that said, I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed the episode. I think it was the change of scenery/location that caught my attention in the beginning, and then the characters they choose to include in this episode, I thought was well picked too. I mean, I’m not much of a Bonnie and Professor Shane fan but i can;t help but think that they need at leas one witch on the show…so i understand why they have to keep her around. I forgot how much I enjoyed having Rebekah on the screen (Her sassy attitude was the only interesting part of the ‘island’ scene) i’m starting to like her more and more. She’s a pretty great character, in my opinion. The way the writers try to show her personality underneath all the ‘Original vamp’ stuff isn’t too forced which is what I enjoy…it’s realistic- well, as realistic as you can get on a show about all things supernatural.

 

(Side note: My friend and I were talking about how we miss Lexxi. In our opinion she should’ve stayed around. We also thought Caroline would be the next ‘Lexxi’ figure to Stefan, but the writers haven’t broaden that friendship on screen yet…)

I have to admit I wasn’t a big fan of Caroline and Tyler in season 1 but somehow becoming a vampire and werewolf made them less annoying. They were growing on me and In the beginning of their relationship I really enjoyed their storyline. I thought it was great that they were falling in love together and I honestly thought they both needed eachother, which made it work. That was all in good until season 3 where they basically took out all their romance and all their character growth and gave us nothing but sex with them. It was hot sex but….it wasn’t the same. I mean, there was the whole Tyler breaking the sirebond for her but….i don’t know…They seemed more and more distant from each other (in my opinion) and i was losing interest in their relationship. Luckily at this point I was beginning like the idea of Klaroline more and more…


First of all, when I saw that first scene of Klaus curing Caroline after he told Tyler to bite her in the first place (3×11) The first thing I thought was, “You sneaky bastard, you”. I mean, as far as I could tell he only did that so he could “save” her.


Then, the Michaelsons’ Ball episode (3×14) came along and I have to admit I was excited about these two. His accent, his charm and the way he looks at her…. I also like the fact that Caroline isn’t afraid of him.

So, then there wasn’t a Klaroline scene for awhile, unless you count the scene where she’s all…

“I’m too smart to be seduced by you” 
image

until the 20s dance episode (3×20) but that wasn’t much of a scene really, well, at least I didn’t think so. Though I will say Tyler looked better in that scene than Klaus. There was one thing that I picked up from that scene though…

“You mark my words. A small town boy, a small town life, it won’t be enough for you. ”



That was the moment I started to think about the difference between ‘Forwood’ and ‘Klaroline’ and the fact that Tyler and Caroline’s spark had died. 

When season 4 came along I knew I shouldn’t get my hopes up about Klaroline happening, there was just too many complications, and there still is. Though, By this point I was in love with Klaus, yes he is evil. He kills people for his own amusement and them forces them to follow him and if you disagree with him he’ll kill either you or your loved ones, he’s somewhat of a child in that sense. I like the way the writers wrote this character Joseph Morgan potrays. They didn’t make him a ‘bad boy’ like Damon, because let’s face it, we can ALL see right through that (still not sure if that was intended or not. Stefan was a hotter ‘bad boy’ during his ‘rippah’ moment than Damon ever was) No, they did it right with the character of Klaus. When we first meet him he was just what the legends say, pure evil. As his character progressed on the show though, of course the writers needed to put more depth in him which was interesting because it wasn’t forced upon the audience, it’s not so cliche that it just makes you cringe. It’s not TRYING to make him seem like the victim, no, not at all. Audience still hate him but there’s still that understanding of why he became this monster.


The Klaus, Caroline, Tyler scenes of the episode (4×13) I was particularly focused on because let’s face it, Klaroline. In this episode I was a little annoyed at Tyler because he got cocky and I get it he has no more family but, don’t be cocky if you don’t have a plan. That’s what I like about Klaus, he’s smart. He always has a plan for everything. He thinks things through (not all the time) even though you don’t really see that in the way he acts and talks. I think he bit her because he got annoyed and was sure that Tyler would do anything to save Caroline’s life, including letting him out and becoming his follower again and if everything when the way he predicted he would’ve instantly fed Caroline his blood to save her. The twist was when Caroline asked to be taken out of that room. You could tell by the look on Klaus’ face he didn’t see that one coming, because his plan wasn’t really to kill her off…

When Tyler brought Caroline back into the room I think he would’ve saved her straight away if it wasn’t for his own stubbornness. He doesn’t want Tyler to win, but, then they started talking and something about Caroline just….


This is why I think Caroline and Klaus would be good together. Klaus brings out this strong. mature side of her. He can teach her things, broaden her mind. Caroline is good for him because she’s pure and innocent, which is something he lacks. She tries to see the good in him (even though it’s difficult). She’s trying to understand him.

But, I guess all we can do now is dream…So i’ll leave you with this to get you through the day…






Parked.(2010)


I just finished watching the movie ‘Parked’ 10 minutes ago and the tears in my eyes have not stopped. So, bare with me here.

I thought it was such a beautiful movie. The plot, the setting, the characters, the pace, the amount of dialogue. The acting is magnificent, the symbolism is brilliant and not out of place, and the whole message and story is heart-wrenching. It is such a damn good film.

I honestly don’t understand why it’s not more popular than it is.
The movie focuses on a man named Fred who is living in his car parked in a seaside carpark. There he meets a young man Cathal. A troubled kid involved in drugs, also living in his car a few parking spots over.
As the moview goes on, their friendship is shown as Cathal teaches Fred to “have fun” and see the things in life Fred thought he would never see again.
(I won’t say anymore because I don’t want to spoil it for you all)
This has to be one of the most moving movie I’ve seen in a real long time. It was so beautiful even with the unexpected ending. I loved the way it was written and filmed. Although I didn’t entirely like the ending i thought, if they did it any different, then the movie wouldn’t have the same effect on people. So i approve. haha.
I truly recommend this movie to all.
