For this assignment, finding scenes from movies that changed my life was a little hard to do. I was limited to a selection of movies already on my computer (luckily, a lot of those are some of my favorite movies anyway). I also think that anything can impact your life simply by being in your life at one point.
I chose clips from the movies Happythankyoumoreplease, He’s Just Not That Into You, and The Social Network. Happythankyoumoreplease is one of those feel good, coming of age movies with a positive message, and I’m a sucker for feel good, coming of age movies with positive messages. He’s Just Not That Into You is more of a romcom, but like I said in the video, it’s sort of my Bible. It simplifies the whole does-he-like-me waiting game.
The Social Network needs its own paragraph. This movie took over my entire life. I don’t know how or why but it did. I even remember the day I first watched it. Is that weird? It was January 26, 2011. After that, the rest is history. I ended up seeing Jesse Eisenberg’s play in New York City twice. Outwardly, I suppose it didn’t seem very life-changing seeing this movie, but it felt like it. Also, I can’t even get over how perfect the entire movie is. More on that later…
