Tonight, instead of doing a crucial history assignment, I decided to kick back and watch a movie online (I found the best site ever!), and of all the numerous options, I decided to watch Silver Linings Playbook because:
- The trailer looked good
- The plot sounded intriguing
- IT'S GOT JENNIFER FREAKING LAWRENCE!!!!!!!!!!
With a click, I was sucked into an amazing movie. With characters so flawed and yet so wonderfully full of life, it's hard not to be intrigued. And aside from the soundtrack/the storyline/the happy ending, the best bit about the movie was the moral I learnt from it: every day, no matter how cloudy, the silver linings are what counts.
It reminds us (in some utterly bonkers way) that when times look dark, we've got to count our blessings. We've got to look at the ratio of blessings to clouds, and be happy that nothing in life is ever really 100% cloudy.
Even when we lose what we thought was the world, the Earth still rotates. Life goes on. The seasons still change. And because Earth's still turning, we can always wake up to a new day. And even though that day may be cloudy with a chance of rain, we can still see the silver linings hidden behind the cloud.
And whilst we're on the topic of movies, I have but two things left to say:
- Does anyone else in this universe agree that Slumdog Millionare was a brilliant movie?
- Has anyone reading this seen Now You See Me? I'm going to see it soon, and a review/honest opinion would be fabulous and interesting....
