My friend and I went to the film festival last Thursday to see a foreign film named Honey, I'm in Love. It was a Canadian film in French with English subtitles. At first, I wasn't too sure how I would like the film, but it turned out to be pretty cute. It was about this 53-year-old man who fell out of love with his 48-year-old wife and their humdrum life. While at an art show, he met this 28-year-old woman who he fell in love with. Throughout the film, it questions the aspect of a man with a family leaving his wife for a younger woman. At first, I absolutely loathed what the man did to his wife and children. I probably felt that way because I would not want a man, who I planned to be married to for life, to just up and walk out on me one day. As the film progressed, I started to feel for the man's situation and understand further why he left. I don't want to ruin the ending, but overall, it turned out positive! :) I would definitely recommend others to see this film because it holds a very strong message about age and marriage that I feel would be applicable to today's time.
While at the film festival, I was completely overwhelmed. There were people everywhere, and at first I did not know where to go. Next thing I knew somebody asked for my ticket and I went into the theater. I was impressed with the amount of people that actually went to see the film. The next aspect of the film festival that I enjoyed was the introduction to the movie. It definitely proved its uniqueness and represented everyone who decides to see film festival movies. I had a positive experience at the Film Festival and was very glad it was a requirement for this class because I probably would not have known about it otherwise. I definitely plan to see Film Festival movies in the future and would like to have my future class participate in this event.

ReplyDeleteWhen I went to the film festival, I was also surprised by the amount of people there! It was packed! I also had some difficulties finding out where I had to go, but four wrong turns later I made it to my theater. Haha I agree that this would be a good event to take a class to. Well, it looks like you had a good time and enjoyed your movie. I did too.
