Movie Review: Defending Your Life
Defending Your LIfe
Directed by Albert Brooks
112 min.
(out of 5)
What Am I Doing With This Movie
It was on Universal HD and I DVR’d it. DVR’d movies will be getting reviews, too.
What I Know About Albert Brooks
Enough. More than skateboarding, at least. I’ve seen Lost In America (Great) The Muse (Good, underrated) Looking For Comedy in the Muslim World (Borderline passable) and I generally like his vibe.
What Is This Stuff Coming Out Of My Eyes
This movie made me cry.
What
Yes, and I don’t cry from movies often. The only movies I’ve cried during are Fall, The Brown Bunny, and 3-Iron. Never as hard as during this movie though.
What Is It That Has Caused The Eye Leak
I just got out of a relationship, and though it ended amicably and we’re still great friends, there was a lot of tragedy to it. Certain things in this movie paralleled what I'd went through, and thus struck a chord. Not even a dinky three-note power chord, I mean a fucking barred F right across the first fret; heavy and painful to the un-callused.
What About The Rest Of The Movie
It’s a very good movie. Only drags in a few spots (both during two early trial scenes) so I can’t give it the full five stars, but otherwise it’s pitch-perfect. Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep have a phenomenal chemistry.
What Are You Gonna Do Now
Continue with my life.
What You’re Not Gonna Go Keep Crying
Fuck you.
What Else Do You Have To Say For Yourself
I did my best. She did her best. We made the right decision for both of us.
What Else About The Movie I Mean Like Fun Facts Or Whatever
I dunno, Rip Torn is in it?
What I Could Have Learned That On IMDB In My Sleep
How about that Albert Brooks was born Albert Einstein?
What Dude That Is Like Seriously On Albert Brooks' IMDB
Leave me alone. I need tissues.
