MY LIFE
A film review by Jeremy Krug
Copyright 1993 Jeremy Krug
Absolutely amazing. They say you never really know how much something means to you until someone takes it away. Similarly, some people never learn how to live until they lose their life. It is amazing the things which we keep bottled inside, afraid to show anyone, little things that tear our emotions to shreds, just because we can't let go of them; such as anger, hurt, and fear. And what do we do, if we have lived our entire life like this, and suddenly found that our life is about to end, and we are not really sure of what is important, and whether all that we have done was right, or wrong. That's the general idea that I picked up, I won't go into any plot because you haven't seen it yet, and I don't want to ruin things. Most people that I asked said they felt Nicole's acting was a little rough at first, but it certainly improved by the end. That is something you would have to decide for yourself, other people thought she did a fine job throughout. You also asked if you should bring a box of tissues along. I personally haven't been able to cry in a very long, but this movie made me feel as though I would. The guy next to me cried three different times, he told me, and most of the rest of the audience joined him. Yes, bring the tissues, especially for your lady-friend, this is one movie that will wet the driest of eyes. The subject of the movie is very original, the writing, acting, and screenplay are all just remarkable, and the cinematography brings it all together in one nice, big, emotional, teary-eyed package. See it, and enjoy it. It's definitely one of a kind.
Warmest regards,
