Day 122

Literati was horrible. Once again I got stomped into the floor. They say everyone has a loosing streak. Perhaps I have found mine. It is a bit frustrating to lose by over 100 points. I wanted to scream. I honestly felt stupid. I dislike that feeling. Here was our board:

Today's Movie: About A Boy

An interesting story to say the least. There are 3 intermingling stories in this. While parts are down right funny there are some very serious tones in the movie as well.

Our main character is Will. A 38 year old single man who has no job and loves it that way. Don't get me wrong he has an income. His father's one hit wonder Christmas song keeps him in a living he is comfortable with. However he is a lonely man. He is set up on a blind date with a single mother and realizes they have a ton of passion but in their fears of being hurt will often push away the man. Great for a guy who is afraid of commitment. So he makes up having a son and goes to a single parent group. There he will meet the best friend of our other two main characters leading him to meet them.

Our other two main characters are a mother, Fiona and her son, Marcus. Fiona is a single mother who suffers with depression. She is often seen crying in the film. She is clueless to the ways of her son. She also has no idea the torment he goes through just to try to get her to smile. She has forced her ways and thoughts upon him and they argue rather than talk. She even attempts suicide in the movie. Marcus as if he is not having normal teen aged issues also has the stress of his thoughts of his mother. He is a good boy and worries of her well being. He does all he can to see a smile upon her face. Including what most would consider social suicide.

Will will meet Marcus first. He seems a dreary boy. While kindhearted he still has his moments. Marcus will try to feed the ducks the bread his mother made. In doing so he kills a duck when he throws the bread in the water. Will finds himself defending the boy. When they go to return him to his mother they will find she has tried to kill herself. After this Marcus latches on to Will. One can only believe it is because he is afraid he might find his mother in the same state once more. Will dislikes the idea of the boy always around. Somehow the two of them break down the others walls. Will becomes a father figure and Marcus shows Will how to be a proper adult.

I believe this movie shows not everything is as clear as what is before our face. Often we do not see an issue right before us unless we are forced to look at it differently. Usually an outsider will point it out. This is the case. Will becomes the voice of reason between Fiona and Marcus. Can he get Fiona to realize that Marcus will risk everything for her? Can he get Fiona to realize there is a reason to live and it is Marcus? Can he break Marcus' fear of finding her dead? I think you should watch and know for sure.
