Top two movies I enjoy.

Let me start this off by saying these are NOT my favorite movies of all time in no way. But just some movies I feel like discussing.

Where the Wild Things Are

This movie just makes me happy. And I think there is a story in this that most people miss out on. I find this a story of growing up. Change. Being Free. And that each of us have a monster deep down inside of us. Now normally this is not the type of movie that I would of ever seen myself make a list on. But in some sort of odd way I feel I can connect to this movie for whatever reason. The monsters all want someone to take the sadness out. To have this little boy make all of them become a family again. Just as normal day families seem to of forgotten what being a family really is. Its a journey to a place we all have wished we could be one day. And for that. This movie makes it on the list.

2.  The Experiment

Now people may disagree with me on this film and say the original is better. I find this movie very intense.  The psychology of the movie is what draws me in. How even though people are so quick to jump off their seat and scream we have evolved so much and came so far. This movie might just prove to rethink that idea. The concept of what will people do at extreme measures. How much of their religion will stick with them. And wheres the beast that lives inside?  Check this one out

Stuck in the middle

I'm at a loss for words. It seems every single day there is a new issue that just really seems to be getting under my skin. May it be a certain person. Or even a certain event. Over these last few years mostly between the age of 14 through 19 Ive noticed that people who used to be my friends MOST certainly are not anymore. I ponder the changes that I myself have made of course but also examine the changes they have made as well. When you are growing up life is more about just fitting in rather than claiming anything in life for yourself. You just roll with things and act accordingly. But as you age I start to notice that most people become far more outgoing and in such lose friends that they used to just get along with because they were there. Now that I am 19 I have a lot im concerned about. To be honest I really don't even know for sure what ground I stand on. Everything seems to be getting so confusing and piecing  the puzzle together has proved to become somewhat of a challenge. I suppose you could say I am stuck in the middle. In a middle ground of trying to retain what it means to be a child but also the effect of push from adults saying I need to become such. Life always posses new challenges that we must overcome and sometimes we really don't know how to. And with that said. I suppose I will be stuck in the middle. Most blogs from here on out will not be as serious or maybe they will. I am just using this experience as part of a daily notebook to just vent my thoughts. Just to see who might relate.
