Journal 3: The Life of Five Sisters

The Five Bennett Sisters
from N.E.O.N.619 blog

Pride and Prejudice is based on the book of the same title by Jane Austin. In this story, the life of the Bennett family is revealed in the chaos of the daughters’ love lives’. Sisters, men, romance, marriage, drama, all the glorious elements in Pride and Prejudiced keep me watching the film time and time again. I am a typical girl with 4 sisters (making a total of 5 daughters, just like in the film) and long for a romantic relationship with the chivalrous man of my dreams, so I very much can relate to this film, and I believe that is one of the main reasons that I love Pride and Prejudice. The film also has a very strong sense of realism within the time frame that the film takes place of course also tying in a few historical elements.

Another reason that Pride and Prejudice is a simply phenomenal film is due to Keira Knightley as she is a wonderful actress and I love every film that I have ever seen her in. She seems to so easily be able to mentally place herself in her given role’s position. I would strongly suggest this film to anyone who has not seen it because it is all together a good film and you cannot form a true opinion on it before seeing it yourself.

Journal 2: Warm Bodies on Valentine's Day

This Valentine's Day, I was taken to a movie following a lovely dinner. Romance is usually what you think of on Valentine's Day, but zombies? Why in the world was the movie Warm Bodies appropriate on that day of the year? Well, as covered in Bill Gibron writes about in his article "Say 'Hello' to the Zom Rom Com: 'Warm Bodies'" you can read that Warm Bodies is actually one of the better romantic comedies that have come out in the recent years.

Bill Gibron really makes a point to express how much he enjoyed Warm Bodies than other movies with monsters such as Twilight. I agree with Gibron in that the film had a great mixture of action, comedy and romance to keep most viewers happy while doing a good job of keeping the twitter patted scenes down while adding in quite a bit of action.

I would really encourage everyone to view this film and let me know what your opinion was of the zombie love story in Warm Bodies and if even if you haven't seen this specific film what is your take on other films with mythological creatures falling in love with humans and vice versa? Do you think that they are being over used or can you not get enough? I look forward to hearing what you think.
