I Was Sunk In The Emotion, and I Almost Drowned
“Sometimes Leaving Is The Only Way To Move On”Frankly it comes down to this, Some Things That Stay was average film-making at best because, for me, it couldn’t find the right balance of emotional material to keep me enthralled but at the same time not trying to drown me in it.
When I say drowned I mean that I was just so overwhelmed with emotional that at the end I felt emotionally exhausted, but not in a good way. I had the same experience with The Pursuit of Happiness, where all through the movie the emotion was just driving me down. However, The Pursuit of Happiness gave me a better sense of connection with the characters better than this movie did. It’s not so much that this was a short movie, which it was, but it did have a lot to handle in that time period.
The characters were portrayed very well, considering the how amateur the film-making must have been, and I enjoyed, but most importantly believed how they were all presented. So I do give this movie that note. Though, I must admit that the character Rusty was nothing more than just a horny teenager, which is real, but kind of out of place.
I DO NOT regret watching this movie, nor am I ashamed. This movie has a lot going for it, and I truly understand why people would love this movie, and I truly understand why people don’t like this movie. Consider me somewhere in the middle.
