Expectations are for the unexpected

I gotta admit, I had not seen the first two transporter movies. So i am not aware of the never breaking the code, things of that nature so of course I would not be offended by Frank breaking whatever code there was concering the cargo. I will say however that critics and fans alike seem to be reaching impossible levels of satisfaction these days and its all over the fact that we can't enjoy ANYTHING anymore. You go to a movie these days and because we all expect ourselves to be smarter than we really are we at times think that a movie is smacking us in the face when in a lot of cases it isn't. Not one person here is a director, not one person who writes these reviews is a professional actor and if you are then you must not be getting much work if you have time for this. What I am saying is that all the hatred towards a movie like this, saying things are "absurd" and would never happen and all of this means one thing.
We as a people have forgotten how to have fun. We can't enjoy anything anymore.
I hope you are proud because if you slam a movie like this simply because you think you are above it then you are the fool for spending your money on it in the first place. The movie company got your money, so THEY WIN no matter what you say or do. Go back and get a refund and simply shut up if you don't like what you see because I don't use the critics I use my own mind and it seems that with so many people saying so many similar things it means half of you didn't go into this movie with eyes wide open to expect the best.
If you can't do that, then turn in your fan card. Movies are supposed to give you absurd, they are supposed to give you "unbelievable" and even if it doesn't or does happen in real life remember one thing. ITS A MOVIE THIS IS FANTASY so sitting there talking about oh this or that would not happen, the redhead chick is ugly and all of that means one thing.
You don't know how to look at anything with hope or the hope of enjoying it.
I hope you are proud because you shouldn't go to any movie. Save your money, stay at home, stay in your box of 54 inch flat screens and braggadocio when if you were given a budget and a script you couldn't do better if your life depended on it. The movie is far from horrible because unlike you I didn't have a chance to be biased or expect anything, I simply wanted some entertainment..
And by golly I got it.
Why did I get it? Because I applaud the fact that the director took the chance to give a woman who was not a BOMBSHELL the chance to show she could be attractive and beautiful at the same time. The movie if anything should boost a lot of ladies out there to a higher status if they all think they have to be blond, coke bottle body and all of that to say that they can be desired. I think that the actress, regardless of how she is viewed physically did her job well. Given the limited roles of a lot of women in hollywood she did fine with what she was given. No, not oscar material by any means but at least she came across as a REAL woman and she did battle with the language thing but that is one of the things to me that SOLD her the most. It made her more attractive because her english was so bad. She basically was trying to send a message that she wanted to live and wanted certain things out of life and to be honest one of the most enjoyable scenes to me was the scene where they were in the car talking about dinner.
I am sorry but it was so tense with overtones that I liked it. No I loved it and if I see the movie and get the DVD (which I will) I will replay that scene over and over. Both characters seemed to step outside of themselves for ONLY a moment, forgot about all the problems just to show how enjoyable one of the simplest things in life ..a good meal can mean when you haven't lived or may not live anymore. Of course Frank was optimistic and kept her from giving up even if she wanted to but that scene to me made me realize that even I failed to appreciate something like that. The smiles came across as so genuine, they were just somewhere else ..
All in all a beautiful moment ...
If you people out there would stop looking for every reason to have something wrong you can find some fun in this movie. But for me I choose to listen to my own heart and I guess most movie goers don't have one anymore.
Go see it and don't judge, until then stop looking at movies. |
