The Proposal
In the city I live there are two things that you can do to fill your long and calm winter aftenoons: beach and movies.
Last time I went to the beach it was 2am and I was trying to rescue my friend's mobile, so I couldn't really feel how freezing the water was because I was too scared that my friend was going to kill me if her mobile was broken, but I can immagine it. The mobile didn't really break, it just turns off by itself whenever it feels like, but I gave it back to her without telling her what happened, because she is going back to Brazil next week and I don't think she is going to wait for me to go back and then go to my city to yell at me, so I think I'm fine.
Also, I hate the beach. I hate sand and the salty water, I hate the sun and the Australian biuinis, so I kind of try to keep distance from it, so the only other thing that I can do is go to the movies every single day and make my friend Caio watch trashy films, like Year One and girly films, like The Proposal.
Year One is officially one of the funniest movies I've ever watched. I fell from the sit because I was laughing like crazy and I'm not even kidding. Maybe that's why Caio prefers to go to the movies in the afternoon, because there are always around two other people in the room with us, so he doesn't get so embarrassed because of me. Anyway, it was funny. And Olivia Wilde was as diva as always.
The Proposal is not. I did laugh when she tried to feed the dog to the birds, but that was because I'm stupid and I laugh of anything. The movie wasn't really disapointing, because I wasn't expecting anything from it, but it was the kind of movie that makes me sad, because it could have been something much better and the writters just lost a big opportunity to make a good film. To begin with, the first scenes were taken from The Devil Wears Prada. I simply hate people that don't have creativity and imagination and have to copy the work of someone else thinking that no-one would notice. The horrible-boss-that-scares-everybody story was great when it was new, but filming exactaly the same scene from The Devil Wears Prada but with different actors was just lack of creativity. I swear the directors must have shown The Devil Wears Prada to the cast and said "now you only have to do what those people are doing, try to copy the faces with perfection, please". Patheeeeetic.
And the ending was crap. I hate endings. Well, I like "endings", I just hate every single ending that anyone has written. Caio knows, everytime we leave the movies I'm complaining like crazy about the ending, just because I could see so much potential in the movie and I could have made such a better ending. Ok, there was one or two endings that I liked, but that was about it. Well, The Proposal's ending was crap. She telling the truth was ridiculouly cliche, like everybody didn't already know that she was going to do that, that stupid girl from 27 Dresses telling him to go after her was stupidly cliche, specially because she had that stupid hurt face that couldn't convince a two years old child, the two old ladies talking about how they loved each other was just so sad, they tried to do something different there, but it just didn't work out very well, and the way he confesses his love for her and kisses here made me sick of my stomach. He couldn't even be in love with her. They should have worked out a better way to make them fall in love, they should have had sex. That movie has "pathetic" and "cliche" written all over it.
I must say her clothes were completaly gorgeous, though. The only good think in the whole movie.
That's all,
