Wild Child

One of the best feeling's in the world is when you discover a really great movie from what you only hoped would turn into something tolerable.

As most of my readers probably know, I LOVE movies. So most of the movies I watch are discovered through a random selection. Usually I find a website such as "Starz," "Hbo," etc. and randomly search through the movies by category and just pick something.

Wild Child stars Emma Roberts and Alex Pettyfer. I had never even heard of Wild Child. I decided to give it a shot and was not disappointed. The movie is considered a comedy and while it is cute and funny, there should almost be another category of movies known as the "Lessons Learned" category. Lots of movies are about the growth of the main character, but Wild Child especially hit that mark.

Emma Roberts is a spoiled, selfish, and even cruel teenager who still hasn't gotten over her mom's death when she finally goes too far and her father sends her off to boarding school...in England. While the viewers remain unsure of the location at the time, the true reason for the location choice is revealed later. It's unclear as how this is a punishment, going to England to live in, just for one semester. Sounds fine to me.

But this movie truly teaches lessons of true friendship, family values, and growing up.

YOU LOOK DISGUSTING

Watch the video first. And then continue reading.


I've watched this video multiple times. It was suggested to me after I watched a video about Foundation Application, which then led to a video titled "Ugly Without Makeup? This is Why Men Have Trust Issues," which then suggested this video.

When I first opened the link to this video, I assumed it would be an inspirational speech. Or a transformation or something along those lines. How is it possible that people could write such hateful things?

People sit behind their computers and they think they can hide under their usernames and their anonymous comments, but the truth is REAL people will read those comments and REAL people will interpret their own meaning.

Is Em Ford the most beautiful human being you've ever seen without makeup? No. But neither am I. And I can bet you aren't that great looking either. We all have flaws. But everyone deals with them differently.

Telling someone their "ugly," "hideous," and "revolting," is rude beyond belief. How is it in this day and age that there are still people who think this is okay? You can't just BULLY people and get away with it. Each word you type could effect someone's view of them self. Let me repeat that. Each. Word. You. Type. MATTERS. Em Ford knew when she posted that picture of herself without makeup that she wasn't gorgeous. But she posted it to help her accept herself. And maybe to help others accept themselves too. Personally, watching the most beautiful women take off their makeup makes me as a woman with pretty low self-confidence feel good about myself.

"If she isn't ashamed, then why should I be?"

And then she was bullied. Now people like me are ashamed and scared too.

Then she puts on Makeup....
And she gets criticized for: "wearing too much makeup," and "false advertising."
"This is why I have trust issues."
"You're so ugly that's why you wear makeup."
"Imagine waking up next to her in the morning."
"She still looks like sh*t."
And my favorite... "Trust no f*cking b*tch with makeup."

What's wrong with people? You don't like her without makeup and you don't like her with it. And the worst part? These people DON'T EVEN KNOW HER.
That's the worst part. People are so quick to judge someone they've never met, just because. Because why? Because she's successful? Because they're jerks?

Don't put people down just to put them down.

BUT THE END IS WHAT MAKES ME TEAR UP EVERY TIME.
"Acne makes me feel worthless."
"27 years so fed up"
"It makes me cry"
"I wanted to kill myself."
"Learning to love myself."
"People make fun of me."

HOW CAN YOU SIT THERE AND MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE WHEN THEY'RE ALREADY DOWN.
I'm already on my hands and knees, why push me to the ground?

Don't be the people who make others feel worthless about themselves. Boost them up. I bet it would be easier.

It's been real.

Austenland

While I was away drowning myself in Logistics notes, I took a few study breaks in the forms of movies. 

First off, I want to apologize for not keeping good on my promise. But in my defense I just took a huge test that will decide whether I graduate from college, and my computer had a virus which wouldn't let me open up Google Chrome, or Firefox.


Austenland was one of the most surprisingly good movies I've seen in a while. For a big Jane Austen fan like me, it was just what the doctor called for. It was cute, romantic, and surprisingly hilarious. All of the characters were played well, and there were a couple of twists that even I didn't see coming. You think you see it, and then BAM you were wrong.

Don't miss out on this gem. And does someone know if that "I <3 Darcy" bag is actually for sale? Because I totally wouldn't buy it. I'm serious. I wouldn't.

Yes I would.

It's been real!
