The Full Monty

This is a film about how things can change rapidly and the measures that people can and will take to get their lives back together. It is a comdey and is extremely funny, but it does have a seriousness underneath all the jokes. It may be an unconventional way to work through your problems but it does work out in a way that the audience can relate even if it may be a little bit of the wall. It was a good movie and I liked the way they made something so unexcepted by people today into something that touched people. It was a risky move to do it about stripping because it talked down upon by so many. Though it was risky it worked and they made a terriffic movie about going all the way for what you need and want. So more people should learn how to go after what you can get by going "the full monty".

Amelie

The movie Amelie had French subtitles which I was a bit weary about it but it wasnt as bad as I expected. I still however didnt like the overall movie I though it was a little to strange for my taste. It was just not my style it didnt make me feel engaged in the movie or even interested in the story behind the filming.I felt that this movie was kind of irrelavent at times. It was very sparatic with its story line it jumped around alot and i wasnt very sure which story line i was supposed to follow right away. The film was driven by symbolism throughout the movie to keep it going. Amelie is a different person with a different way of doing things in her life. She has a perspective that others find weird. Amelie seems like a deep person one who looks at people for who they really are not just first impressions. She goes through a lot while she is growing up and is pretty much selcuded since she was little. She finally realizes what she can do when a man helps see how she is wasting her life by being over conscious of the decisions she makes. The movie I think is about seeing people for who they are not thier idiosyncries. People may be different but we all have something we are good at and everyone deserves a chance to be happy with thier lives.
