Review of the movie Rachel Getting Married

[Haole Girl]

The quote was, "They've crafted a movie that hurts to watch, but it's also a celebration of marriage and diversity. I'm very impressed...This movie is mentally moving..."

I don't know about you, but I don't even want to see movies that "hurt to watch" these days.

Funny, how we change, as we get older.... isn't it?

1. I could always put it on mute and watch for Anne Hathaway

:homer drool:


on a serious note, without more context, I don't know if this is either a critic commenting on shitty film-making, or a critic commenting on the subject matter. :shrug:

3. Sorry I didn't clarify, DS1

That was a movie critic, commenting on the film, on our local news channel. :hi:

2. Ya know, I never liked to go to movies that 'hurt to watch'

:shrug:

Have enough pain in my own life to be entertained watching someone else's pain.

4. Exactly

As strange as it sounds, there was a time in my life when I liked dramatic movies because I thought they might answer questions in my own life... or help me understand other's lives... or some other silly reason. Not any longer. As you said, I have enough pain in my own life. :hug:

5. what does hurt to watch mean? bad movie making? or is it about a sad subject?

6. It's sad to watch. There are a lot of emotionally touching scenes...

a lot of conflict between sisters, etc. As curious as I am, I am putting that flick on my "Do Not Watch" list! :hi:
