Chicken vs Fox

In class today while discussing who are the chickens and who are the foxes, I have come up with my own opinion. Personally I feel that Hanks wife, Sarah, is the ultimate fox in this movie and everyone else are her chickens. Although she has a minor role in the film, everything happens more or less because of her. Hank brings her into the situation just as much as he is in it right from the get co, and to his stupidity listens to her every word. Once maybe twice he contradicts her plan, but after some arguing he ultimately winds up doing her plan. Now Jacob, Lou, and even Carl are the smaller chickens in the picture because they listen to Hanks every word (which in actuality is Sarah's). My favorite part in the film is when Sarah and Hank are arguing in their bedroom and she says something along the lines of "Just a few days ago no one would have thought you would be cab able of doing the things you have done" I find this statement so ironic and funny it really sums up her character. Good film choice, not one of my particular favorites, but it did keep me guessing until the end. Also I feel Billy Bob Thorton once again stole the film with his acting.

Confused from Momento?

Hmm what just happened? After leaving class today, I tried explaining to Lindsay what happened in the film, and found myself just as confused. I understand the point that he has been living a whole lie, by his doing, and knowing what the facts were, but that he didn't want to face the truth. What I don't understand is what is the truth behind Sammy Jenkins? They mentioned his story was made up and that he was a fraud, but was Lenny just confusing Sam's story with his own? Also I thought that his wife was raped than murdered, but I don't know maybe I am imagining this I could of sworn I heard Teddy say she survived the assault. I am confused if you haven't noticed lol ...but on the lighter side of things-Excellent film. I really enjoyed it and thought the scenario was genius.

Dark City on a whole..

Hey guys..I'm back =) i know you all missed me ha ha ...let's just say I'm an idiot i couldn't remember my password & therefore it wouldn't allow me on but alas i have fixed the problem and here i am! .....

Anyway now that's all cleared up, i would like to comment on our newest film Dark City. WOW! Talk about strange, this film clearly defines it. However, as strange as it is, I am in love with it! Rufus Sewell has always been one of my favorite actors and to see him play this role really excites me. It shows he isn't limited to one genre and is one of the truly talented actors in Hollywood nowadays. When Mr. Bennett made the comment in class today about Kiefer Sutherland's character, it stuck with me watching the film. I am a fan of Kiefer but I honestly am not a fan of him in this particular film. I feel he makes his character rather annoying with his speech problem and you are more drawn into how he speaks than what his character is all about. Now with these alien people I love Mr. Sleep, I have a feeling he is going to be a big part of the film with his sneaky ways. LOVE LOVE LOVE the film, excellent choice, and cannot wait to continue watching. =)
