"stepping out on my own"
Sunday, March 15, 2009

Had a little movie marathon today... first up,It's a rather funny and sweet romantic comedy. The actors are real and the happenings so hilarious, esp when Jason Segel jiggles his privates at his gf - the look on his face was SO classic! And the quirky characters, esp Aldous Snow, with his unbelievably stupid songs. Great for a good laugh.



Here's a movie that depicts relationships very well - the guy who doesn't pull his weight around at home, leaving it all up to his gf, who's finally had enough. The very things that they argue about hits home - "I don't want you to do the dishes; I want you to want to do the dishes!"


That's just a classic case of how we women want our men to take the initiative and do things for us even without us telling them, and with his refute "Why would I want to do the dishes?!" it's just a clear portrayal of how the men don't get what women want.


But from watching the show, it did make me realise that although I totally understand where Jennifer Aniston's character was going with the arguments, it did seem a little stupid and trivial when it comes from another person, and Vince Vaughn's rebutes, it really made me realise how we sometimes see such stupid things out of proportion, blowing them into huge problems.


It's kinda sad how it all ends, when such a small argument escalates to such epic proportions. But the show does tug at my heart, given the close depictions of life as a couple.



Firstly, kudos to Sean Penn for his superb performance. He's always been able to portray the characters he plays so realistically, making the shows such hits. It's really an eye-opener, the descrimination towards gays and how hard people like Milk tried to fight against it. He was so unrelenting and his words were so powerful. He just oozed of the charm and charisma that someone with a purpose possesses. A sad and touching ending, but a very good show, definitely.
