Connection

It's funny how sometimes, unexpectedly, life provides exactly what I need.

*Spoiler warning for all movies included in this*

Today was kind of a blah day for me. So I decided to watch some movies. First there was Remember the Titans. I loove that movie. There are just so many awesome characters first of all (one of my main criteria). Then I love the overcoming prejudice theme, the struggle for equality always hooks me. Not to mention I gotta love the sports drama. But definitely I loved the relationships between the characters and how they changed. And the slash was great hehe...Next I saw Gladiator. First I must state how much I love the Hans Zimmer's music. Soo freaking good. Mostly in this movie I really liked Maximus and his journey. And wow the tigers were soo beautiful *sigh*

The surprise was me watching Patch Adams, which i didn't have on tape. I only really watched it because on Television Without Pity they always call Dr. Abbott from Everwood, Patch and I wanted to know what this movie had to do with it. Now I'm so glad I did. I loved the beginning with him in the psychiatriac ward. The squirrel part was just hilarious. Robin Williams is a great actor and I really liked his character, seemed a bit NFish, even 9w1ish to me but not totally clear on that. Anyway, my favorite parts were the ones where he established such wonderful connections with patients. I loved the hospital scene with the children and how he brightened so many peoples lives was great. What really touched me was how he really cared about people even right upon meeting them and took the time to do something special. Plus I love (and admire) his unselfconciousness. I'm not even going to try to count the number of times I cried in this movie but that just shows how much it affected me. It was definitely exactly what the doctor ordered for me :)

Tomorrow: Harry Potter! Woohoo!

I totally agree with how amazing Hans Zimmer's music is. I recommend d/ling his music from the Mission Impossible soundtrack.

And what a strange coincidence! Fatema ended up watching Patch Adam *and* crying too! Hmm....

Yeah, I want to d/l a lot more of his music but I have a lot of anime to do at the moment ;) Right now I'm lucky to have some awesome songs of his to listen to. Do you have A Small Measure of Peace? Thats my favorite of his, the emotion expressed in it is just amazing.

Hmm that is cool. Its a crying movie though, just so sweet. It seemed every other scene had a crying moment lol. Good thing I like movies that do that to me, that usually means its good. You should watch it :)

Like I said, I like Remember the Titans. I don't think race should be a problem if you wanna be friends with someone, cuz the most important thing is you like he/she for what they are

About Patch Adams, don't like the movie (I think it was boring), but I totally agree that Robin Williams is a great actor. Mrs. Doubtfire is one of my fave movie of all time

Oh yeah, I agree that it shouldn't be a problem, that is the most important thing. That's why I liked the transition there and how Gary and Julius were able to develop a good friendship because of that.

Well to each his or her own on what movies we like. I've never seen Mrs. Doubtfire, but I should probably see it now since you suggested it ;) Did you know that Robin Williams is a sx variant? Hehe just a random personality typing fact. You know how much I love it ;)
