For some reason this summer, I don't have the attention span to sit down and read - I have no ability to concentrate on a book long enough to get into it. Which is really a shame, but I guess it is something about wanting to shut my brain off. So I took my brain out for a mini-vacation to see 'Paper Heart'. A movie about the making of a documentary movie. Kind of a mind warp, but the movie was cute, funny and awkwardly awesome.
Some favorites about the movie without giving too much away:
-The movie incorporates paper dioramas and puppets that were really charming and sweet. It reminded me of the school projects I would always wait to the last minute to finish when I was little, and my Mom helping me build dioramas about 'Swan Lake' or Abraham Lincoln.
And that fifth grade quality to these scenes just enhanced their awesomeness.
And that fifth grade quality to these scenes just enhanced their awesomeness.-The main character Charlene is refreshingly unpolished and un-girly.
She rocks baggy jeans, glasses and hoodies. Her hair is just hair to be tied back, not a weapon formed with hairspray. Make-up is non-existent. She is one of the dudes, but I love how this doesn't register into the story line. It was great to see a 'love-ish' story that didn't involve a girl needing to change her look to snag a dude.-Michael Cera. Love him and his awkwardness.
-Another parallel story line is getting other perspectives on being in love. From couples to kids, to a girl on the playground who thinks the ideal date is hot wings at Applebees.
-And the overall idea that a female is curious on if she was really incapable of falling in love.
Take a break from this heat and go see for yourself. And if you play your cards right maybe someone will take you out for hotwings. xx
