Ahh, winter. The wonderful season in which we can snuggle together with our loved ones sipping steaming cocoa or tea while sitting by the kindling fire and nibbling on homemade cookies. Winter is one of my favorite seasons but alas, everything must have pros and cons. Winter can also bring an arousal inside everyone’s immune systems that can only bear one(actually a couple)thing(s). And those things are tissue boxes, steaming hot tea with loads of honey(even though my mom says that too much honey can lead to digestion)biscuits, blankets, pillows, and a distinct selection of Winnie the Pooh movies and other Disney phenomena. I was playing with my little sister this morning and one of her favorite songs is Jingle Bells, though it has been two days since Christmas, well who cares what would a a baby know? Anyway I tried my best to sing but I was to busy struggling with my dry and sore vocal chords. In fact here is a written interpretation of the setting:
Me: Dashing through *cough* *wheeze* snow, in a one *sneeze* horse open *couch* sleigh over the *wheeze* hills *sneeze* we go *voice crack* laughing all the way *another voice crack*
Thulasi: …
Mom: AWW MY POOR WITTLE BABY IS STILL SICK I will go get you some tissues and a spoon full of honey you must feel awful.
Me: Ma *wheeze* I’m *cough* fine *sneeze*
Dad: STOP SITTING AROUND LIKE A POTATO AND GO AND DO SOMETHING WITH YOURSELF.
Mom: Calm down she has a horrible cold.
Dad: Yeah well I have a cold too!
Me: *mumbles* Yeah, a cold temper.
Mom: *holding back laughter*
Dad: Well I will just go…..
This is usually me when I am under the weather, cold, fever, whatever. One minute I feel like I can run the world, then the next second I’m a little burrito wrapped in blankets and coughing and shivering and complaining that walking is to hard of a task to accomplish constantly the whole day without stumbling and falling from fatigue and lack of decent sleep due to being uncomfortable during the night because of my dang cold. My dignity(and decency)flushing away, while the sickening microorganisms in my body prevail me.
This results with me mostly spending my time( the days in which I am ill)sitting on the couch and binge watching Disney movies. At least three tissue boxes, a hot drink in a mug, stuffed animals, hair tied into a knot that probably cant be easily undone, a runny nose, sore muscles, straining eyes, obscene temper, and incredibly irritable.
But you see, the thing is I am still a movie nut in general. Hmm, maybe thats why I am so lazy…. OH WELL.
When I am feeling lazy(which my mom says is all the time so it seems)I just like to curl up on the sofa and scroll through the movies, sometimes picking movies from the late 2000s like A Monster Calls or The Martian(BOTH OR INCREDIBLE MOVIES NO DOUBT), but sometimes I turn to my dad for suggestions and he will point some really good movie from the 1990 or 1980s. Like E.T. or The Gremlins. But recently my dad told me that there is this one movie from 1998 called The Truman Show. Now, I did not exactly walk in clueless when I clicked the movie and played it. Many of my friends had seen it before with their families and my dad had watched it years before. They all told me the same thing. THIS IS SO SAD OMG. I honestly thought they were just being emotional babies. Boy, did they prove me wrong.
Now, I do not want to reveal anything to much because introducing even a small thing in this post will be like the butterfly affect and spoil the whole movie for all of you(if you watch it of course)
The movie is about a man named Truman Burbank(Jim Carrey, [YAH BOI])who goes about living on his life with his vivacious wife Meryl(Laura Linney), a nurse working in the local hospital. But Truman starts becoming suspicious of his own community, as if he is the only focus of the whole town. As if the whole world is revolving around him. He soon discovers bits and pieces of a massive secret that everyone in the world knows… Except him. What naive Truman doesn’t know is that his entire life is being broadcasted live to the entire globe. His every move, his secretive acts, his tragedies. The director of the show trying as to manipulating his future or worse, his mind.
I am sorry for the lack of info but seriously this movie just blows my mind. The intricately thought out details and storyboard. Plus my dad just introduced me to Jim Carrey by showing me a couple of his movies and he is possibly now one of my favorite actors. Jim Carrey fit the role perfectly with his humor and emotion. Plus I love that one iconic quote he says(don’t worry I will say it at the end of the post)
I hope you guys will watch this movie because honestly, I think everyone needs to watch this movie and just think deeply about for a while(THATS WHAT I DID!). So bye! And one more thing-
IF I DON’T SEE YA GOOD AFTERNOON GOOD EVENING AND GOODNIGHT!
