Hello All! It has been waaay too long since I have posted to my own blog. It is my intent as The Diva, not to do this again. I will try and post at least once a week! Nevertheless, my first post of the new year will be about a movie I screened in December of last year that I simply loved despite the darkness and sadness of it.
I am a huge Ryan Gosling fan and he did an excellent job of acting in his latest and greatest with actress Michelle Williams. This movie is essentially about the life and death of a relationship between two people who in the beginning were fun and fancy free. They were together for a time, but then discovered that one person's volatility in the relationship was more than one could bear. The relationship of Ryan and Michelle's characters started out red hot and in the end it is cold as ice, blue. The soundtrack that played in my mind while watching this was Alica Keys' "Wreckless Love," Anduze's "Shakespere," Prince's "Strange Relationship," and Prince's "Sometimes It Snows In April." In sum, what's the point of holding on when the thrill is gone and its just not working anymore. Sometimes walking away is best, especially when children are involved. The toxicity of a relationship should never spill into the life of an innocent child who did not ask to be here to begin with!
As not to give too much away I must advise that the NR-17 rating is much needed for this film. There are a couple of racy scenes that children need not view!
Is this a movie The Diva recommends? Yes! Should you go see it on Valentine's Day? No, this is not a romance movie per se so don't expect it to ignite fire and desire between you and your mate! If anything, it may give each of your pause and who knows, by the end of the night your relationship will also turn to blue.
That is all for now! Let's go to the movies! That's what The Diva says!
