Title
One Movie Line At A Time
Bio
Growing up loving movies, and quoting infamous lines, N. Jordan is about taking life's given competition and embracing it through movies quotes. Each posting reflects a personal understanding on how movies effect people, our lives and our fake realities. If life is a movie, why do we compete in so many ways? Sports, love, relationships, family, business, money, career, kids, etc. Its time to see who is keeping score. Because... life is sometimes an altered reality, just go at it one movie line at a time. My real name is Michelle Keifer. But, I've always wanted to talk about life through a guy's perspective. Just seemed so fitting as I've always been just one of the boys. Go New England Patriots!

 Did You Hear About The Morgans?

 2009

Often at times we are given a predicament. Often at times we must confront the reality of circumstance. When we evoke on such a revelation when we find ourselves engaged in the feeling of hopelessness, retraction, or even betrayal. How we answer our own situational existence is dependent on how we embrace the forceful nature of ones ultimatum.

I speak in terms of ultimatums as a generalization of how sometimes it takes that ultimatum to enact a change.

This film was just released last year. It starred Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker as an estranged married, Paul and Meryl. They are a couple coming back to terms of their marriage demise because of circumstances. When the two are witnesses to a murder, they become feared for their lives and forced to be a part of a witness protection program. That program, dead set in Wyoming.

The greatest thing about this film is the force of circumstance. I say it is great because we often become biased to stepping outside our comfort zones.

When comfort becomes the norm and the norm becomes uncomfortable, we can safely assume that the only thing that is going to shake things up a bit is to actually let things shake. In pretenses I make the assumption that witnessing a murder isn't the best way to go when attempting to stir things up. But, we can at least say that being surprised at normalcy is sometimes the catalyst to pushing the boundaries of given ultimatums.

I found this film to enlist a concept that sometimes when the unobtainable seems less than obtainable, you can always allow the hardest times in ones life to turn into the greatest times in ones memory.

Post for 4/13/2010.. sorry.. technical difficulties!!
Have not seen it; I think I will.
Rated.
That's an interesting analysis of a film I haven't seen. I'll check it out.
I saw the film and enjoyed it. Your analysis is down pat. Hugh Grant plays his role well. SJP for some reason always reminds me of Carrie in all her other movies. This one was better. Her character changed a bit. It was definately worth watching till the end.
Thoth and CC... thanks.. it was a little witty and charming.

49 and counting.. I couldn't agree more. I will always see SJP as Carrie.. its hard to pass her character off as anything else but that. But, she is charming and it was a great balance between her and Hugh.
I've never understood the appeal of Sarah Jessica Parker. It looks like someone put a wig on a holocaust survivor. And people actually hire her to sell makeup? WTF?
Arianna.. yes.. SJP killer body, not so great of a face. Its not warming.. its kinda scary. You know??? But, she is well acclaimed and I think we all just go along with it.
Had to comment on this since this was the first big budget film for Kevin Brown aka Dot Com of 30 rock. Sarah Jessica Parker has a strong following. Hugh Grant is always nice to look at and see him do his thing. This film was interesting on various levels with one of the messages being city slickers find themselves in the midwest concept. rated~~~
