So I know I said I would start the challenge after the weekend, but my shift on Friday night was shorter than anticipated and what else are you gonna do on a stormy Friday night?
So this movie is two and a half hours long, and I did not realize that when I started watching it. That aside, the movie left me with mixed feelings at the end. You can read a brief overview of the movie here. This movie is about the porn industry, also something I was unaware of before viewing it. I guess that made it better that I wasn’t expecting it. There were moments when you realize that these people are just trying to make it, to get by, to survive, and because they’ve been told that they’re rotten in life have they chosen this industry. There are several moments when you really connect with the characters and feel what they feel. Some of the things you may have experienced, and that’s what makes it even more real. For some reason, I get the impression that the population thinks of the porn industry as people who aren’t necessarily real. These people tend to have loose morals, so people assume that they don’t have emotions either, and all they care about is getting some, but in reality, they’re just human. And they want exactly what every other human wants: to belong and to be loved.
Conclusion: watch if you have the time; interesting film; left me with some mixed feelings, some are still present. Overall, good movie. Would I say it was a “Heart in Throat” for me? Not by means of me being really emotional during or even after the movie, so I’m still questioning that.
Just got this!
So I know I’m hopping on the “Dexter” train a little late, considering 4 seasons are now out and the 5th will start this fall, but my friend Ana would not stop talking about it, so I figured, why not? I’m not really doing much else with my time, might as well add another show I’ve watched in it’s entirety to my summer.
