Movie Reviw : It's kind of a funny story



You know, we all have psychopaths moments sometime. We feel lost, without ambition - but still - passionate about life. I wake up every day thinking I'm not yet discovered who I am, thinking I'm living my life inside out. Thinking I should
go outside and just walk a little. But instead I'm always at home because I do not know where I could go.
I wish I could go to somewhere, and this place would be anywhere. When I still lived in my hometown, I used to wake up very early and walk down my street. It was always cold, and it was beautiful. Now I live in a capital city, very busy, I can not go anywhere without purpose. But I like to go nowhere.

I really like this movie. Was directed by Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden. The story is about Craig (Keir Gilchrist) his parents are nice. His mother is attentive, his father insisted too much for him to go to a good college, which seems not thrill Craig. He also has a younger sister, she's a little genius.
The introduction of the film begins with Craig walking on a bridge, thinking about killing himself. He seems worried about the pressure to be good enough for his dad's requirement.




Craig decides to be hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital. He is depressed, thinking of suicide, he feel lost.
When he is hospitalized, realize that there are many people far worse than him there. Craig makes friends with Bobby (Zach Galifianakis) and Noelle (Emma Roberts)
He spends five days in the hospital - which may seem little time for someone to change, however, he do - and in the meantime he discovers many things about himself.
At the hospital, Craig has therapy every day with Dr. Minerva (Viola Davis), and she makes him reflect why he feels that way  and she tells Craig to remember when he was happy for the last time. It is one of my favorite parts of the movie.




This last two photos are my favorites, Keir Gilchrist lookin' hot in those

'' Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I can't change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference ''
(Dr.Minerva to Craig)





And has Craig's relationship with Noelle.They start as friends and eventually fall in love.





At the hospital, Craig discovers his relationship with art. He loves to draw, and ends up singing Under Pressure by Queen with the rest of the people in the psych ward.




And then Craig finds out things about people on the hospital, and about himself, his family and friends. My other favorite part is the last scene, him saying things that he'll do to be happy.
'' Bike, eat, drink, talk. Ride the subway, read, read maps. Make maps, make art. Finish the Gates application. Tell my dad not to stress about it. Hug my mom. Kiss my little sister. Kiss my dad. Make out with Noelle. Make out with her more. Take her on a picnic. See a movie with her. See a movie with Aaron. Heck, see a movie with Nia. Have a party. Tell people my story. Volunteer at 3 North. Help people like Bobby. Like Muqtada. Like me. Draw more. Draw a person. Draw a naked person. Draw Noelle naked. Run, travel, swim, skip. Yeah, I know it's lame, but, whatever. Skip anyway. Breathe... Live ''

I select a few songs that I liked on the movie
