Worst Thing I've Written So Far


 This movie was a very interesting movie, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. How the film simulated a sort of breach in the fourth wall between two sets of characters, was a very interesting dynamic. This film is centered around the viewer knowing film and knowing people who have something in their lives that they use as an escapism. This movie had some diverse characters, but none of them were really proclaimed as “the star” of the film. Like in the actual film “The Purple Rose of Cairo” one character can really have a larger impact on the film as a whole, and not be the focal point. This idea actually pushed one of the themes this film addressed, how one character can make or break a film, even if they are thought to not be necessary to the plot as a whole. Cecilia was a pretty weak main character that was easily swayed by anything that gave her attention, she also represented a person who just wants to get away from real life to be whisked away in a fictional world. Even though she was a weak character, her presence in the film was important to the entire plot. Her character was downplayed and her lack of decision making is what made her the main character for this movie. This is so, because it again fits into the theme of a movie that doesn't need a center star to have a strong presence or plot. 
This movie was a very intriguing movie and there was a lot that was going on, and things that can be interpreted within. Unfortunately, This movie isn't given justice by the horrible garbage I just forced myself to write.
