Sherlock can you find the Naked truth?
The moral of the story is never take any one second for granted and do not rush through life.
The general person would effortlessly say to you that “only a sociopath would manipulate someone like Rob Anderson (the well mannered groom),” but Vicky (the jealous best friend/ ex hook-up) steps out of that “average person” relm of people and does that exact thing.
I feel as if this is your kind of movie Mr. Holmes. A movie with a beginning and end and a whole lot of jam in between. The genre of Naked has been like no other movie I have ever laid eyes on before. I am not sure on what to label this one. Either a chick flick, thriller, mystery, or a romantic comedy would all be perfect genera labels. If one were to label this movie a chick flick I would not be calling you, Mr. Holmes, into an investigation. Urban dictionary’s definition of a chick flick is:
“A film that has the following formula:
They get along fine
There is some kind of misunderstanding
They get back together
The end.”
Although Naked does not follow this exact flow of things there are still key points that the director hits in order to receive this fine label. The first scene is a great example of this because Rob Anderson walks into the airport running late to his wedding, about to miss his plane flight, when he says he will do anything for a ticket to his destination wedding. This is a key point in the story, that while watching it, I did not realise it meant anything, but now looking back, “time” itself played a huge role since the very first scene. As said earlier Rob was running late to his flight and therefore almost missed leaving for his destination wedding. Rob struggled throughout the whole movie with growing a relationship with Megan’s (soon to be wife) father. He never knew the right timing to say things, or how to bring anything up because the father was so judgmental of Rob. But in the end things simmered down and everything ended up happening for a reason.
I am sure as the ultimate logical reasoner that you are, you could have seen a mischievous act coming from a mile away. There is something about you and your methods of reasoning that is intriguing and would do the viewers very well in throughout the movie. Rob Anderson would have also benefited from your deduction skills. If Rob used the same methods that you use, he would have found the culprit a whole lot sooner than he actually did. Hey, you even said yourself, “A related word to deduction is induction, which means inference of a generalized conclusion from particular instances.” Mr. Holmes sir, Rob Anderson needed you. He could have easily inferred “the general” from “the specific” as often as he inferred “the specific from the general”. Although that goes in one ear and out the other ears of most people, someone with an investigating/ detective mind would understand that statement exactly.
Lastly, that brings up to solving the mystery of why Vicky would have called a prostitute to try and get Rob in trouble. Many could easily conclude that it was because of jealousy or because she did not want a man taking Megan away from her, but the world may never know. Also another thing that we are left to evaluate on our own is why was Rob living the same day over and over again? In fact this nervous man was forced to relive the same nerve- wrenching HOURS over again. The only thing that broke the “spell” was him getting the wedding day right. I will leave you with one question Mr. Holmes, and that is, why were these specific hours repeated over and over again? Why didn’t Rob just get stuck in the elevator once and then had to get out and make the day right? What caused the spell keep occurring or even start in the first place?
While you think I would watch this movie because of the deducing that can be made. You're wrong. The plot for this movie, I assume, is boring. It is not a good thing for me to be bored. I can already tell you that this childish movie is simplistic and not worth the effort or space in my brain. You are correct in the instance of that quote but, you are wrong in applying it. I don't induce anything, while I could there is no need for it. I only deduce. I will almost certainly never watch this movie, but it sounds like something John would watch. John likes mundane idiotic things. He would probably blog about it too. Next time, write me something worth reading and thinking about.
ReplyDeleteI want to watch this movie so bad! The advice I have for you for your goal of organization is to continue working on transitions, and in this particular piece e think more about what you want to say. You are jumping from idea to idea again and I had a very rough thought of what was happening. I understand wanting to hit everything but the ideas don't flow and that's where I was getting lost, but I think you did better at grouping your ideas this time! Also, I think you had a good overall idea and that with those added transitions and a little bit of revisions you would see a big impact on your writing goal! Was this movie good?
