These Lovely Films

  My next favourite film on this blog is The lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring. When this film came out I lived in Somerset, England and a little town called Burham-on-sea, it had a very little quaint old fashioned cinema on the High Street where I went to watch this film over and over several times! Not just because the cinema was only 10 minutes walk from my flat but it was because I loved the film so much I wanted to watch it over and over again.  It started since I was very young and read The hobbit. I was into it so much I wanted to pack my bag and went on an adventure like Bilbo Baggins did in the book.

I found that many characters from the book were left out and the story was cut short to make it more moving but it worked and seemed to make sense because you couldn't put the whole story in a couple hours film otherwise.

These two ladies are almost the same person to me, Jodie and Clarice. When I feel a little bit vulnerable, feeble, soapy and scared, I will watch this film - not for the scary or violent bits but to remind me that there is another woman who has felt the same way I do and she has been brave and courageous, she is cool and smart, beautiful and sensible regardless to  how scared and vulnerable she feels. I actually really like the film too. I think it's a very good film in all aspects but if it's not for Clarice Starling I wouldn't have watched it so many times. The last time I watched it on DVD I thought the beginning of the film was a little ageing but it doesn't make me think less of it and Clarice has never felt  out of date to me. She stays as cool as she has always be
