Today is Easter and I went to church this morning and saw my good friend Emily. It was the same old thing as every year, with the puppets and that one video. I like that. It's comforting. I'll eat lunch soon and then my mom and I are going to see The Last Song.
Yesterday I saw this really good movie called Brothers starring Toby Mguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Natalie Portman. It was really well done; the acting was phenomenal and the drama was intense. It was about a soldier, Sam (Toby Mguire), who went to fight in Afghanistan, leaving his wife (Natalie Portman) at home. His brother, Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal), just got out of jail and his father never approved of him. Then Sam's helicopter crashes and he is presumed dead. And his whole family is kind of messed up and his wife is depressed and his wife and his brother kind of have a thing and his daughters start to like his brother more than him and think of him as a father figure. Meanwhile, he's been captured by terrorists and is forced to bludgeon his friend to death. Finally, he is rescued and comes back home, but he's not the same and he's convince that his wife and his brother have a thing, when really they just kissed once. And there's a really awkward, tense scene with the oldest daughter, who happens to be the same girl in Bridge to Teribithia who Derek and I actually saw in Burbank. And he's paranoid and distant and depressed and kind of goes insane and there's a really intense scene at the end with all three of them and he's just going crazy. But, in the end, you get the impression that everything's going to be okay. So, yeah..
Happy Easter
