THE BAAADDD COLORRRR!
I haven't updated for a few days. I've been at Amys as usual. I'm always at Amys. We saw The Village yesterday. I loved it! My review is under the cut, so don't read it if you haven't seen it and don't want it spoiled.
Ok, going into the theater I was expecting it to be scary, the kind of movie that would make you jump and anticipate what was going to happen. I went with Amy, her dad, her brother, and her brothers friend Jim.
When we were walking up to go buy our tickets, some woman was complaining, "It just wasn't what I thought it was. Scary to me isn't deranged Amish people." We figured she was talking about The Village from some other comments she made, but I can't remember at first. We bought our tickets, waited half an hour, and the movie finally started.
The first person I recognized was Adrien Brody. Fantastic actor, I think he's brilliant. I started to laugh when he stood up and started to clap and laugh when the scary noises started. Then the movie moved on and I saw Joaquin Pheonix. *melt*. I've secretly loved him since I saw Signs. He's part of the reason I wanted to see the movie. Ok, moving on. I cracked up when Kittie professed her undying love for Lucius, and he's just standing there. That was fricken hilarious. Then there was the whole color thing. THat was cool. For those who've seen it, I bet his color was RED. The whole car ride home, whenever we saw red, we would scream THE BADDDD COLORRRR! It was fun.
I had expected Joaquin to go into the woods, not Ivy. Ivy kinda annoyed me, but the girl who played her did a great job. When Noah started to stab Lucius I was like, OH MY GOD. HE CAN'T BLOODY DIE! Then later when I found out the thingys weren't real, I was like, AWW MAN. It would be funner if they were real.
Then I saw M. Night in the reflection on the glass when *Kevin got the medicine out of the thing. I told Amy who it was. The ending wasn't as good as it should've been. I saw it coming. I wish I hadn't. He should've made the things real. Then I was sad when Noah fell in the hole and died. Sadness, but then again, he stabbed my Joaquin.
The "elders" were screwed up. Who in the world would want to live like that? No medicine, no movies, no music. There is no way, even if someone I loved *so* much died, that I would leave everything to go live in the middle of a nature preserve. Nuh uh.
All in all, I loved the movie and will hopefully go see it again once I aquire some cash.
