Once when asked what type of movie I like, I replied, “quirky.” Sadly, this is not a genre that is easily
defined or categorized – which makes it difficult to find. This weekend, however, I discovered a full
170 enchanting minutes of it. I know this may seem
long, but after watching two hours of the movie, I felt distinct relief that
there was another 48 minutes still to come.
It is difficult to recommend quirky movies with the confidence
that others will enjoy them as much as I do.
In this case, I am prepared to go out on a limb and say this movie will
be both entertaining and fun. The
themes transcend culture and give life to those attempted in Dead Poets Society,
but with a richness and optimism which I found lacking in this earlier film.
This is a movie that I keep thinking about and has application for my personal life. (A topic more suited for a conversation over coffee than a discourse for this blog.) I can see the irony of proposing to watch a movie about experiencing a life of passion, but next time I plan to offset the couch sitting by joining in on the crazy aerobic antics of the musical numbers. (Yes, I do plan to watch this movie again, and unless others promise to try some dance moves, by myself!!!) Whenever
a spare three hours comes your way, I recommend watching 3 Idiots!
