Jonathan

I watched this movie over Thanksgiving break and it left me thinking for days. This sci-fi  movie “Jonathan” is about someone who has single body multi consciousness. There are two brothers living inside of one man, portrayed by Ansel Elgort. One of the brother’s name is Jonathan who is awake from 7am to 7pm, and the other brother, Jon, is awake from 7pm to 7am. They communicate by making videos for the other to watch when they are awake. The movie documents Jonathan’s life and shows the struggles he faced each day but also highlights the love he has for Jon. The brothers have a certain set of rules that they have to follow in order to stay functioning, such as a certain sleep schedule and no girlfriends. However, Jon ends up dating this girl named Elena who brings many complications to the brothers’ routine. The brothers begin to fight and both of their lives start to go downhill throughout the movie.

This movie was very interesting but it was slow at times. I wish it had a little bit of a faster pace and a more exciting ending. The ending was pretty dry in my opinion, but it did leave me thinking about the science behind it and the other things that could’ve happened.

Bohemian Rhapsody is the new movie that shows the epic story of the band Queen and their lead singer Freddie Mercury. It begins with showing how Freddie meets the rest of the band members and then follows their career taking off. The movie highlights the hardships that Queen faced, how the four men became a family, and the details of Freddie Mercury’s life and sexuality. Also, Queen has amazing music that is played and performed throughout the movie that makes you just want to get up and sing along. This was a very powerful movie and I would HIGHLY recommend going to see it in theaters!

A Star is Born

This exciting movie came out at the beginning of October and has been a common source of conversation for over a month now.  This movie shows a very moving story about a famous male singer (portrayed by Bradley Cooper) who meets a woman in a bar (portrayed by Lady Gaga) with an amazing singing voice.  He takes her out and brings her on stage at one of his gigs, where she is discovered and her career takes off. The two fall in love, and the movie follows their life story and shows the ups and downs of relationships and careers.

This is a very well filmed movie with an excellent soundtrack, but it does have a very upsetting ending. I loved the movie up until the last 20 minutes, and the ending left me thinking about the movie for days. This movie was extremely powerful and well written and I would recommend going to see it in theaters while you still can!

Happy Sinking!

Everyone knows about the great disaster that struck the ocean floor on April 15, 1912. The Titanic was a new ship thought of to be “unsinkable” and was supposed to sail from Europe to the United States but obviously never made it there.  The ship hit an iceberg and sunk from April 14th into April 15th, taking the lives of thousands.

In 1997, the story of the Titanic was brought to life in movie form by telling a fictional love story of two passengers on the ship. They meet after the Titanic takes off and they come from very different families. Rose is the main character of the story and she comes from a very rich family.  She is engaged to a man her mother is forcing her to marry and she doesn’t love him. Jack is the boy in the story who is very poor and only made it onto the Titanic because he won the tickets in a poker game five minutes before the ship left. The two meet one night when Rose is standing on the edge of the boat considering jumping off to escape her life and her engagement. Jack helps her and the two start to become close after that. They start to fall in love and decide that they are going to stay together after they get off the ship, but, well, you know what happens next.

I strongly recommend this movie because it is very powerful and emotional. It also really highlights the tragedy of the Titanic sinking, which a lot of people in our generation don’t tend to talk about.
