Big (1988)
Being an adult is not all sunshine and daisies.
I watched BIG last month sometime and to refresh my memory of the film I watched it again today. Even though it was the second time that I have watched the movie it felt like the first. I enjoyed the film and would definitely recommend it to my friends. I feel that Tom Hanks portrayed Josh's "adult innocence" in a great way and the transition he made from being a timid and scared adult in the beginning to acting like a "normal" adult near the end was very well portrayed.
If I had to choose an age to be, I think I would want to return to the past and be in primary school again. Perhaps around the age of 10, as that was the year I had the best school teacher and the year my best friend and I became best friends. I feel that back then life was a lot less complicated and stressful.
Never the less we are where we are and who we are today because of the experiences we have had (good or bad) and the people who have guided us along the way and I ,personally, would not want to change any of that.
Segunda piel (1999)
Very insightful
I found the second skin to be a interesting and insightful movie, as it shows the perspective of the main character but also shows the wife and Diego's perspective as well and you get a sense of their feelings as the movie progresses.
I like how it shows the main characters conflict within himself as well as with his wife and Diego.
I think it is sad that he cannot be himself, because he feels he needs to be what is expected of him. I find that it is the case with some people these days (not only in sexual orientation) where they feel they are force to be something they are not or change who they are not, just so that they can please other people.
