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 don't about you or anyone else for that matter, but I love making great memories. Whether good or average...we can all make them great with a little positive drama.

When I first saw this movie...I was overwhelmed in the end when the friends saved each other, so to speak.

The leading men were extremely handsome and the girls were gorgeous. There is a scene in the movie where an actress is sitting on top of the lead male actor (Jim Fitzpatrick) and I started becoming sexually excited...and well...moist.

He is so hot! He was on one of stories All My Children. He played Pierce Riley. An artistic guy that lived in a cabin in the woods, and made love to various kinds of beautiful women, like Brooke English.

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.

I have never seen a movie that was so hilariously specific to exacting a suicide attempt, as a way of saying what needed to be said to prevent it.

It appears that thousands of people that eventually do commit suicide, didn't have such a strong clique of good friends to compel the depressed person to consider the upside of a tough life.

Most people have been sheltered and babied so much, that they become such big babies when it comes to their personal needs and unrequited desires, that it's important to spell-out the good times and memories that placed them in such a negative situation.

Psychology is stranger and deeper than most people could ever imagine, unless you've known that person for years and years. It's a great thing to show the importance of friendship and support, through-out our lives. This pseudo true story is money when it describes relationships past and future with this prose.

ex: The character Jamie is asked, "Do you ever finds it's harder to give someone new everything you have, when you've already given someone else, everything you had?" DEEP...and true. I found this project to be beautifully shot and on the money with the acting and directing. What a subtle gem!
