I'M NOT ASHAMED
Recommended. You almost hear a ticking bomb: it's a year in life of a Columbine slaughter victim - the year preceding the mass shooting. You see a seemingly ordinary high school but here teenage turmoils peak in a massacre. Literally. 12 students and 1 teacher shot dead, 25 people injured. The larger picture is of what self-righteousness leads to and of how extremely differently the same person is perceived. Rachel gets murdered because the killers see her as a "stuck up Christian bitch" - the quality several people actually admire in her. Internal conflicts make some people take lives and others save lives. This story struck a chord with me. I also had lost a friend who had been a good guy so watching the film I just couldn't stop tears. Social interactions in the high school are shown realistically. As is the impact of violent computer games on teenagers who start fantasizing about transfering the game into real life. Rachel and her family's pictures are presented over the early end credits.
FIFTY SHADES FREED
Watchable. Brant Daugherty as bodyguard Sawyer looks hotter than Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey. Dakota Johnson is still feminine and gentle even taking over control (and Christian "can live with it"). The film's a steamy tale of a Prince Charming who becomes a controlling husband and about people who threaten the rich and beautiful. The baddies are also beautiful. You need to put your brain at rest to enjoy it. Cheesily romantic music completes the picture. A very early mid-credit shows Ana(stacia) with a kid and pregnant again.
