Emma's Thoughts on Music Video and Movies

"Let Me Kiss You"-

I thought that this song was really great. Although Morrissey was a little strange. I did not enjoy his performance. He reminded me of a creepy guy that could easily "freak" someone out by just looking at them. He mannerisms throughout the song were the same as if he were actually kissing the girl. The song ended really sad because after he had kissed the girl, she looked up at him and realized that she despised him. He knew that she didnt like him, but yet he just wanted her to kiss him and think of someone else while she was doing just that. The song was really depressing because he had chased after her but couldn't win her heart over to him.

Casa Blanca

In this movie clip you could tell that the couple was really and truly in love. The way that the woman looked at the man was so beautiful. But, when the man talked about getting married right away because of the war, she acted a little strange. I almost wondered if she was still in love with the man she used to love, but died. Maybe she wasn't ready to make that big of a commitment just yet. This movie gave me the impression that love cures everything. The woman thought that the war was so terrible and she said that she hated it. The man thought he could cure her problem by asking her to marry him. Love can help you feel better, but it cannot make certain things just disappear.

Sunset Blvd.

The woman at the beginning of the scene that was hosting the New Year's Eve party for just herself and that man was crazy. I felt like she should be sent to the looney bin. I got the impresssion that she thought she could win the man over and make him love her by bribing him with materialistic items. She told him she would buy him this and that, but he just got tired of it because he didnt love her. In the end she did prove to be crazy when she slit her wrists with his razor. I feel like she was so depressed and desperate for attention, she did this to get the attention that she desired. Just because you do certain things doesnt mean it is the answer. People dont fall in love with you because they feel sorry for you. This woman has a lot to learn!!!
