As I mentioned in my new ABOUT ME page, did anyone (this implying i have any followers at all) notice my new page links up the top? This is as far as my blog revamp goes, but still a refreshing change. Any who, in my induced state of bad tv and teenage melo-supernatural-dramas and reality shows, I feel like i haven't watched a good film in so long. So i finally succumbed and watched The Art of Getting By, which seemed to me to be another type cast for Emma Roberts, who I can't decide whether I love or loathe. All the movies she has been in so far seem to be instant light hearted favourites of mine (Wild Child, It's Kind of A Funny Story), lots of emphasis on the latter with that being one of my favourite films, but I really did enjoy this movie. I won't bore you with a review but I will just say that although it might not be a favourite and that it may lack a lot of things that a good film should have, the character, George in particular, are quite relatable and fairly lovable and make for a really nice coming of age movie. The whole idea of fatalistic youth goes down well and I just h
ave to repeat, George did grown on me.
Oh and it had a study montage, I wrote about this on tumblr because I was so impressed. I am not going to lie, I really do love feel-good montages in movies, whether it be cinematic or down right cheesy. And what i love even more are study montages. The visual of accomplishment and motivation and effort that has actually paid off, it just makes me smile. And if you have watched the movie, or the trailer you will know that George is an artist, or aspiring to be so I did enjoy the scenes with his sketches and artwork, and also the rare stills that we see of his room. Oddly I think this is what made the movie for me.
Just caught the movie and I loved the study montage with the Boxer Rebellion at the background
