An American Reunion

I found this particular piece to be so tough to swallow, that the reality was unbearable. As a society, we either choose to learn and grow from each obstacle we encounter, or we choose to wallow in it. Although I have experienced both sides of the pain, this film brought back so many harsh memories. And while the film is a true story, maybe it should have been released as a docudrama. Hard to watch, but good. As far as the technical aspect of the piece, I found it executed with a sense of simplicity that reminded me of films from the mid to late 60's and 70's. I have never liked films that jump around from angle to angle, unless the frenetic style was important.

I saw this movie the other day when my aunt let me dig through her dvds and cds. when I saw the cover of the poster I thought it looked cool how the flags worked together to make a big flag.

Im not especially an all American girl, but I love stories that are based on real people and real experiences. It gives me a little bit more knowledge than I had before about how people have changed as communicaters.

Like old movies. Hardly any body ever faced-up someone when they got embarrassed. Now a days everybody gets merked if you they get dissed. But the thing I liked the most about this movie was the interaction between the really old friends and how they got past the mis-conceptions of each other.

Life is too short to let the little things screw everything up.

I am truly looking forward to my ten year reunion now. This movie has peaked my interest in how my friends have turned out and what they are doing for a living. After graduating high school I came to New York, then went to Los Angeles, then to Miami, then...

The guy that wrote this story has been deeply affected by his high school days, and I think that's wonderful. Most people just move on with their lives but this guy, has hit a major nerve with this movie. My first love, my first romance, and my first experience with losing a close friend all happened right after high school. I think about the friends and lovers and even the one night stands I had, in high school all the time. Sometimes it saddens me, but I choose to remember them, and their smiles. Great movie Mr. Fitzpatrick. I just never give any movies a ten.

There's are less few movies make today, that touch me anymore like life touch me. I have a very tough expectation for stories and all the money that they make and all they are is special effects and big stars that just work on them for the money. When i get this movie at the video store, i get it because it was based on a true happening and I wanted to see what Americans do at their reunion partys. It start out with the past pictures and what they do and then the movie begins. I enjoyed it because it make me think of my friends growing up. I think it important to remember who make who you are today, and that is the main storyline. Never forget you friends. Love them. Love you families. Never forget anytime in you life, if you want to be a good person with a good heart. Ciao.

Without sounding holier than thou, I hope that my comments are not taken out of context.

A couple decades ago I was cheering with a Professional football team and several of my peers and I were at a charity event, where I met Jim Fitzpatrick. At the time Jimmy was playing for another professional football team in the same town called the Tampa Bay Bandits.

After the event about a dozen of us went to Bennegens for a bite to eat. Needless to say, libation followed. Only then did we begin talking about our personal lives, when I opened up to our group about one of my relatives committing suicide.

Jim was immediately focused and supportive simultaneously like I've never seen anyone become involved before when I talked about my cousin.

Jim had known somebody that had taken their life that he knew in high school and now I come to find out a girl he dated in high school also did the same. Jim's a very emotional guy that always cared enough to listen to other peoples problems to the point that he became somewhat like psychiatrist. Thanks for making this movie Jimmy.

It helps everybody to know they're not alone with this situation.
