Stash Short Film Festival: Comedy (2017)

 Alright party people. Buckle up because this is probably going to be the weirdest blog I am going to post. I had someone recommend that I watch Stash Short Film Festival: Comedy (2017) and let me just say wowzers. I don't really know what I was going to be expecting when I watched these, but it wasn't this. I will say one of the short films that stood out to me was Darrel. I thought this one was cute, but it also kept me on my feet because I had NO IDEA about the twist at the end. I honestly thought he was going to get the girl, but BOY was I wrong. Not only was it hilarious but it had a story line that kept you entertained and it never gave away how it was actually going to end. I thought the scenes when he was trying so hard to impress her only to be embarrassing himself, but also hurting her in the process as well was super funny and relatable. Well not the ending of course (iykyk). 

I think all of the other films lost points from me because either I was really confused about what I was even watching or two it was just boring to watch and the plot was guessable. I was judging creativity but also what kept my attention the longest. Even tho they were all short films some of them felt like a million years.

If you guys go and watch these, don't tell me I didn't warn you lol.

Everything Everywhere All At Once (Blog Three)

     Wow, is what I want to start this blog off with.

I will say I didn't really get the full grasp of it until the very end of the movie. I think Everything Everywhere All At Once does an amazing job at displaying this in the movie with some of the topics at hand. Absurdism is a hard concept to wrap your head around especially if you are not so sure what it is going into. To give a brief summary of what I think the word means is that you find some kind of comedic relief to something that people think is completely meaningless.       In  Everything Everywhere All At Once, it showcases this perfectly throughout the film because there are a ton of comedic relief that is so absurd during some of the fighting scenes you can't help, but laugh and then sit there and ask yourself "why did they even come up with

Movie Thoughts: Moonlight (Blog Post Two)

 A theme that really stuck out to me in the movie Moonlight was how your environment can change and shape your mentality. The main character Chiron, goes through major difficulties as he is growing up such as fitting in and finding his true self and sexuality. Most of those difficulties had to do with the toxic environment that he was raised in. Chiron was born and raised in a neighborhood where crime was not a stranger in Miami. He lived alone with his drug addict mother who neglects him when he is at home. Throughout the movie he is bullied because of his sexuality and does not have any good influences in his life to steer him in the right direction. Unfortunately, he is faced with peer pressure in his teenage years and gets into trouble due to this and it changes his whole outlook on life.  Fast forward to his adult life, Chiron is unfortunately involved with the wrong crowd and starts selling drugs as his main hustle and has accepted that this life chose him and there is nothing h
