gogismile A story about true unconditional love that can bring you back to life! A must-watch tittle!
Smoreni Zmaj OK, this girl has no bad movies.I watched all of her movies, something over 40 if I remember right, and she is at good in every single one and fantastic in some.I'm not watching in chronological order, but every single one I saw so far was at least good if not amazing.And this one may be the best. Story may not be so original, but acting is really good and film can easily make you cry.Loved it. :)P.S. In the mean time I saw Hugo and it's even better movie than this one.
sparklyguitars I like the characters and the story. Being a musician myself, it was pretty relatable and fun to watch. I really like Mia & Adam's relationship too - the fact that they're both musicians but still different in many ways is interesting and makes their relationship more complex. I think this film was pretty realistic too (other than the fact that Mia gets in Juliard and Adam becomes a popstar which is a little...far fetched might I say). Mia basically had a normal life, until the day of the car crash. Shows how unexplainable accidents like this happen in real life, and there's nothing we can do to control it. What matters is how we handle those situations - that's what the film is trying to say, I think. The problem I had with this movie is that it felt slow paced, and when it was over I didn't feel particularly amazed. I was just like okay, that's it? Kind of predictable.
Haleema0202 If I Stay is a wonderful movie about a 17-year-old girl that gets into a car wreck with her family. The main character is then in a ghost type phase trying to decide if she wants to stay or not.If I Stay is an American family film. It was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and New Line Cinema. It was released August 22, 2014. R. J. cutler directed this film. This film was based on the novel If I Stay by Gayle Forman. This film's main character is the young cellist, Mia Hall. When her family decides to go for a car ride on a snowy day they get into a nasty car wreck. Mia Hall is then trapped in this weird ghost-like phase although she isn't dead. She is stuck in her phase trying to decide if she wants to continue living or not. Some things that made this film really more interesting was the flashbacks the main character had. They showed her life before the accident, which included: her family, friends, her cello, and her boyfriend, Adam. Mia's memories showed everything she still had to live for, even if her family really wasn't part of it anymore. The music also had a really beautiful effect on the whole movie. It matched every scene perfectly and really set the mood. Even when Mia played her cello, her music really made me feel the way she did whenever she played. I also really love the way the plot flowed. Especially with Mia's flashbacks foreshadowing what's going to happen next and her final decision.The main theme of this movie is: even when all hope is lost you should hold on to what you have left of life. When Mia wasn't really sure if she should stay or go, her happy flashbacks (even the sad flashbacks) and her family/friends guided her towards her final choice. Even though she lost plenty from the wreck, she still had a lot to hold on to and continue living for. I really enjoyed this movie and loved the message it sent. It was well directed and edited. This movie really made me feel grateful for everything I have and life. It taught me to grasp on to the good things in life and live through the bad. This movie is one of my new favorites because of the good messages it sent out.I really loved this movie. It deserves a 10/10
