I sometimes watch movies like a literature class. I like to listen to words, pick out good soundtracks and most of all, astounding words of inspiration or poetry. I just watched a movie called Stuck in Love. There isn’t much to write about this move. I like the references to writing and poetry.
Among many things happening in the movie, a boy is asked by his dad to experience life so he can have something to write about. He had on his journal words that were also narrated when the movie was starting, “I remember that it hurt, looking at her hurt.” I almost paused the movie and let those words sink in. If you do not have some curiosity of how that feels like then am not with you on this. I wondered how someone would get to that place where good feelings hurt…. . He fancied this girl across him to the extent it hurt him. Words…..amazing.
The movie continues and he has to recite a poem in the class:
Poem: SCHOOL
“In the sea of desks there is talk of bags and games and long pipes that lead dreams with a strike of a match
and there is a loudness to whispers i hear
whispers shouldn’t be that loud should they?
there is a girl over there who everyone knows and men without ears will stand by the door for a price
in long hallways there are angry mobs of dwarfs and rats and one single angel…”
Overall, I would give the move a 5/10. It covers some really important issues in life: forgiveness, patience, living, faith and vulnerability. Also good for those who want to read more and never get to like me 🙂
