Influential Movies

I was very sick one day and barely able to move. I had lain on the couch for the entire day watching awful daytime television. I was going crazy between being stuck on the couch and board out of my mind. So I went on a hunt for a movie, one I had not seen before. I found a movie The Jacket starring Keira Knightly and Adrian Brody. The only reason I watched this movie was because I recognized names of the actors, otherwise I had never heard this title before. So I start watching this movie. After the movie was over I sat for awhile trying to figure out how everything had happened. It was a mystery and a thriller. I may have been overly emotional due to my sickness but I found this movie riveting. I loved the plot and the actors amazing job. I watched the movie again immediately after I had finished it the first time. I had never wanted to immediately re-watch a movie before. I felt that if I watched the movie again I would see something else or understand something more. I did. I found subtle hints that I had missed the first time through. I know that I really liked this movie because I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days. I recommend this movie to anyone who is ready to think and not just simply be entertained.
