I've started going out to the cinema more often lately. I've seen a horror movie and one that seemed like a horror movie but wasn't described to me as one. Have you seen any good movies lately?
Yes, actually. I've seen "IT 2" and "Joker" recently. "Joker" rendered me speechless.
I agree. It was frightening yet pleasing to see such a display of mental illness. The way everything was portrayed was eerily realistic.
I'm happy that someone had the courage to speak out on such a pressing issue in today's society, even though it got a lot of backlash.
I am as well. To be completely honest, I was surprisingly frightened to even be in the theater. With all of the threats towards the theaters who decided to show the movie, and all of the police walking around. Every time there would be a loud scene in the movie, I would jump.
I did too! I am however, glad that the threats were taken seriously, and that security was heightened for the showings. I could understand why there was a concern. The movie itself leaves you with an uneasy feeling- almost as though you need to take a step back and analyze the people around you.
The world has become a scary place, and most movies sugar-coat that. I'm happy that the producers and director saw the need to speak out about such raw emotions.
Absolutely! On another note, what did you think of "IT 2?"
I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it was such a dynamic movie plot.
I really enjoyed how we got to see the adult lives of all of the characters, and saw their daily struggles.
I think that was a very important aspect to the movie, and that it was what genuinely made it such a good film. It had a lot of heart.
Just as what we were talking about with "Joker," I feel as if the producers tackled a few traumatic real-life experiences that really helped the viewer feel closer to each character.
Yes, and some of them were also pressing issues within society, such as domestic violence and violent acts towards those who may have different perceptions or preferences in life.
There were a few times that the movie upset me with those actions. Did you think that the movie was scary at all?
In a way, yes. I felt as if the movie made me think a lot about what might happen next.
I thought that there would be a lot more instances of being frightened by loud noises rather than the plot, but I was pleasantly surprised.
I think overall, "Joker" frightened me more than "IT" did, even though it wasn't classified as a horror movie.
I actually agree. Hey, let's go catch another showing now!
