電影《今天十三、明天三十》 又名《女孩梦三十》
Jenna makes a wish to skip her adolescence and move straight into adulthood. Her wish comes true, but the problem is that, while her body has matured, her mind stays 13. Jenna finds that Her 30-year-old self likes to see her boyfriend give her striptease and has an affair with her colleague's husband. The 13-year-old Jenna must have certainly never expected that she would go through such experiences.
I think that the situation the film was set is interesting. To make the 30-year-old Jenna live in the present, they set her adolescence in the 80's. I think this was important in this movie because that way we can compare the culture in the 80's and the modern culture. The scene where people got excited to Jenna's "Thriller" dance implied the maturation period of American culture before the end of cold war, and it was a criticism against the war-preoccupied modern-day America after the end of cold war.
The selection of music in this film was also excellent. I had no idea that Billy Joel's "Vienna" would be so appropriate in a sad scene. This movie's composer, Theodore Shapiro is one of the most popular contemporary composers. The soundtrack takes listeners on a tour of the 80's with flashbacks of the artists and music, such as Madonna's 1985 No. 1 hit, "Crazy For You," Pat Benatar's "Love Is A Battlefield," etc. The phrase, "Love is a battlefield" was also a keyword in this movie.
From my perspective, being over thirty, Jenna's "good friend" Lucy's character was illustrated way too simply, because someone who was ill-natured in her teens could become well-natured by the time she's 30. But Lucy in her 30's remained evil. I thought her character was poorly portrayed. The ending is also simple too but its OK because this is just a romantic comedy.
I loved Matt. I think the kind of people who think things over like him are important. When you meet a person like Matt in your teens, you think that he is too slow or dowdy, but later in life, this person can be one of your closest friends, because he or she will watch you grow, patiently. So, as society moves faster and faster, this kind of friend becomes very important to you, although you might not realize it when you're a teenager.
Generally speaking, Hollywood movies are really well-edited. You can watch them without getting tired, and hints and underplots are laid out brilliantly. Sometimes I wonder if there's a relationship between their excellent film-editing and their lack of ethical resistance to human organ transplant. Underlying these "cut-and-paste" skills is a glimpse of their monotheistic faith, "Chiristianity."
