Rob Dufour - 21

As I hoped into my car with one my buddies and pulled out of my parking space, I realized that I had no idea where this theatre was that the class was watching the movie. Every time I have seen a movie while at school it has been at the AMC, so for a while I just assumed that’s where it was. I remember Dr.Redick telling us that it was somewhere off of Jefferson, so we drove over there and looked around for a bit without any luck. I ended up calling my roommate to ask if he could look up the location for us on google map or something, and he told the area which it was located. Well it didn’t help out too much because after we had driven into Poquoson and back, and were finally thinking we knew the general area, I looked at my watch and realized the movie had already begun. So my buddy and I counted our losses, and decided we would see the movie later.
Honestly, after watching the terribly predictable movie, I wish we had voted for Vantage Point or really anything else. I think that Kevin Spacey is a terrific actor and did a good job in the film, but I felt I could have written the script to this film. I by no means claim to be some movie expert or even someone who knows much at all about cinema, but I do know that when I spend $8 on a movie I hope to see something new or wowing, or at best I hope that I can take something away from the movie such as an enlightening theme or moral. I guess something I saw within the movie is that often times our odds in life to succeed or win are heavily stacked against us. So in order for us to win, we must overcome the system through our own ingenuity; even if it sometimes means we must bend the imposed rules that are set to keep us from excelling.
