I've actually started the drawing! Very exciting. There is always a moment of nervous anticipation when I look at a blank piece of paper. I'm always thinking "Don't mess this up!" But after I grab the pencil and start drawing lines, it goes away pretty quickly. I must look insane to an outsider though. Here I am standing in front of a HUGE blank piece of white paper and I'm looking all over it and walking around in front of it like I'm actually looking at something. Which I am. I know where everything is going to go and I'm just trying to visualize it.
So I watched two movies last night, Half Nelson and Babel. I would recommend not watching those two movies together in one night. They both are pretty depressing. I mean, each movie had it's good parts and 'hopeful' parts, but still...overall I was like SHEESH! Enough already, I need something to make me laugh. Here's my mini review of them. I'll do Half Nelson first since it was the first one I watched.
Half Nelson
Okay, Ryan Gosling is a great actor I think. He says so much with just his facial expressions. He also really conveys pain well. Shareeka Epps was pretty amazing herself for being so young. I was just a little distracted because she reminded me SO MUCH of Tasha. *LOL*
Babel
I liked the concept of the movie and how one thing that happens causes so many ripples in the world and with other people. I did NOT, however, like Amelie's ending. I thought it was totally unfair. Yes, she made a mistake but she is human and wanted to be at her SON'S wedding. I also didn't really understand Chieko's storyline/ending. The good didn't outweigh the bad in this movie so, in my opinion, it was just mediocre.
I also woke up at 1:30 this morning. It was so incredibly painful to swallow that I just couldn't sleep anymore. I will be REALLY happy when I get over whatever virus I seem to have. UGH! I'm already looking forward to the weekend. Only 3 more days!! WOO.

It's that artist vision. You can see things for how they will be in your mind. I think sometimes people see a representation of something. Symbol for tree. Symbol for house. People dno't SEE the way things actually look, rather their minds fill in the gaps. You don't do that. That's what I love about ya!
ReplyDeleteI'm really sorry about your throat but you had better take good care of yourself. You have such an awful habit of letting things go and I don't approve. *looks stern*
Babel! I liked Babel, though mostly I'm struggling with what the film as a whole is trying to say. Babel's obvious. I mean that part is. They're touching on the differences in people and cultures and their in ability to communicate. This extends in the political, social and of course intimate circles. Youhave a deaf mute which is all about her inability to express herself. There's alot of nudity there but I get that. I mean for someone who is so trapped within herself, she's really letting herself go free when she flashes people. Hahahaha. I mean I -get- that. I get the play on languages and the situations but the conclusion is what? We're screwed? That's what I wonder. When you put all the elements together...what does it mean? I thought it was very interesting but you wouldn't be alone if you didn't. Lots of critics didn't like it. Infact, they loved it or didn't.
