Ugh...so good!

There are rarely any movies out now that truly shake me. It's usually the classics that make you smile and you know...whoa this is a good one....like Stand By Me. Tonight I went with my favorite ladies to see The Secret Life of Bees and I was drawn to it. I loved it. It was such a good book and I couldn't wait to see the film. The characters in the film were just how I had imagined them and quotes from the novel were actually used. It brought me to tears. I have become quite the cynic recently and so for me to cry in a movie, it was THAT good. I love when a movie can just capture you and move your insides a little bit. Who knew that a movie could actually give someone long lasting happiness? The overall theme of the story was beautiful. Love at its finest. Not cheesy love, but the kind that people grow into; the best kind. I wonder why there are not more directors trying to make something so meaningful to people. It seems what sells best are the superbads and anchorman wannabies. Films that are slap your knee worthy, but the happiness seems to disappear when you leave the theatre. Movies like this one linger and make you appreciate things. Those are my favorite types of movies. I live for that feeling of appreciation. Its just what I needed tonight and if anyone actually reads my blogs haha you should go see it too.
