So... saw the movie SUPER 8 yesterday... I had been eagerly expecting the movie ever since the first trailer premiered. To me it looked like an awesome thriller movie... which it is, don't get me wrong, but what truly impressed me was that it also presents strong themes and deep meaning- which is something I hadn't even anticipated.

The movie conveyed messages about: losing something you love, forgiveness, and acceptance. And you know what? It actually taught me something. And I've never had a movie do that before. Sure, it could be that the themes presented were immensely relatable to the things I've been going through these past 2 years; but regardless, the movie prompted me to take a good look at myself in the mirror and analyze my situation... See if there was anything I can do positively. It also helped me accept what's happened, because "bad things happen". Deep down, the movie basically personified my whole issue, therefore making SUPER 8 the best movie I've seen this year.... So go see it. It's a SUPER movie. (haha that was terrible but I had to say it )

P.S. Just throwin' this out there, but X-Men First Class was amazing too In my opinion though, SUPER 8 is the better movie (its relation to my personal issues aside) simply because the movie is different than what you'd it to be... but in a good way. I can't say the same for X-men; but that's kind of to be expected from a super hero movie. There were countless times throughout the movie I was pleasantly surprised due to its light-hearted comedic jests and the young actors (and 1 actress. Ha) in their performance of their characters.
