Sleepless in Seattle

If you enjoy watching romantic movies or are into so called “chick flicks,” the movie Sleepless in Seattle will definitely be on the top of your list. It screams “Cinderella” story, but how realistic is this? But we all keep dreaming. Nevertheless, the storyline, music, even the constant references back to the movie An Affair to Remember all add to its appeal.
When looking at the categories of romantic movies the most popular is usually a romantic comedy. Although the movie has its comic parts, such as when Jonah is talking to his dad about sex or when Tom Hanks asks his friend what a tiramisu is, Sleepless in Seattle is more of a romantic fantasy. However, is it really possible for two strangers to meet and go hand in hand down the elevator of the Empire State Building after just meeting, or is it just “magic?”
Just how Meg Ryan, Rosie O’Donnell, and all the other women in the movie watch An Affair to Remember with hopes of their lives unfolding in the same way, most of the time this life one wishes for does not usually turn out the way it is imagined. Romantic fantasies bring about feel good moments while watching the movie, but they usually fade away when the movie ends. Just like the movie says, you can’t live your life through a movie, “You want to be in love in a movie.”

Clueless

The female director, Amy Heckerling, depicts Cher, the main character in Clueless, as being a shallow, judgmental, self-centered ditz. Heckerling does this in such a way that the audience sees Cher’s character grow and develop throughout the film. Although in the beginning she chooses to take on “projects” in order to boost her own self-esteem, in the end Heckerling turns Cher into someone who cares about others and her environment. Clueless is a light, easygoing story, with no great depth, but is certainly an enjoyable way to spend an hour and a half.

Hey class,

Ok, I am going to write about Clueless and Sleepless and Seattle. These two movies are directed by females as we know, however they are so different from each other. Clueless is ridiculus. The female actors in that film were just told to act as ditzy as possible. There were some funny parts in it, no doubt, but now that I watch it as a 21 year old, it seems as though no one really grows up like those kids do no matter how much money their daddy's have. I think Alicia Silverstone was pretty hot in the film, but that chick Dion was smokin' hot. I really do not know what else to write about regarding this movie, it had its funny parts, but did not have much meaning other than valley girls are terrible and they cannot drive.

Sleepless in Seattle:

In this chick flick Meg Ryan was hot. Tom Hanks has the early 90s hair. This movie disappointed me because it had so much build up for nothing. Who knows if they got together and Sam got remarried? I barely had the patience to watch that movie because it started off so slow, and then it just ended, I was like "So where the hell did the movie go?" I was frustrated to say the least. Top that off with some Rosie O'Donnell and it made my opinion go further South. Anyway, both of these films were based around how women think and live their lives in certain situations. They both had one thing in common: How women think about men. Cher was confused especially when she went on a date with the queer guy Dylan. Meg Ryan was gutsy when she went all the way across the country to say absolutely nothing. I am glad I saw it but I do not think I will see it again. I only felt comfortable because I was watching it with my girlfriend. Anyways, I will offer more opinion on Monday. See you all then.
