As I write down my final note for the film "Donnie Darko", I realise things are not what they seem. Not just for the twisty-turny events that plague the life/film of Donnie Darko, but also for myself.
I have always considered myself to be a self proclaimed film buff, I always have been but this was further confirmed in my college years as I underwent a qualification in media studies, AKA "Let's look at shit critically". This really took my eye, and as I left my college years behind me with a strong B at looking at shit critically (there's really no need to clap), I couldn't quite leave behind my critical eye and kept it with me through frequent cinema trips, movie nights with friends etc etc, I always came out as a "killjoy" due to my over assessment of these pieces.
One year on from this, I've kept note of all of the films that I have watched along with my own idea of how things should have played out as well as my own views and opinions of the films themselves, and instead of keeping these musings to myself I have decided to share them with the world (I'm too kind). Most of my writings will be based on looking at older films through my modern, well trained (though not 20-20) eyes, hopefully leaving you all with something to think about in your time reading this.
So I shall leave it at that for now, this blog is acting as a way to fill in my boredom but giving me an excuse to watch films and write about them in a (hopefully) clever and witty way.
Stay tuned for more!
Jess.
