It ends with us review

 

This past Monday, I saw a movie called It Ends with Us in South Orange, New Jersey. It was based off the book of the same name by Colleen Hoover. I liked the movie. 

It was about a woman named Lily Bloom who dreams of opening her flower shop in Boston, Massachusetts. She returns to her hometown in Maine to give a eulogy for her father's funeral. She walks out in the middle of it. He had been abusive to her mother.

Later on, Lily meets Ryle who is a neurosurgeon. Ryle seems charming at first. Later on, Lily and Ryle get into a relationship that turns toxic and violent. Ryle hits Lily for the first time wile making breakfast.

One night Lily, her mom and Ryle go out to dinner where they see Lily's childhood sweetheart, Atlas working as a waiter. Ryle got jealous and got violent with Atlas.

Atlas warns Lily to get out and escape. Eventually, Ryle and Lily get married and have a daughter. After their daughter was born, Ryle continues to be abusive to Lily. Lily asks Ryle for a divorce ending the toxic relationship.

In the end,  Lily gets custody of her daughter. In divorcing Ryle, Lily breaks the cycle of domestic violence. That is why the movie is called It Ends with Us. 

I give this movie a 7 out of 10. I thought the performances were decent, and I was happy that Lily found the courage to get out of the toxic relationship. I liked the plot.

My introduction and movie review

  Hello everybody! This is my blog. I am blogging about current events, movies, pop culture, etc. I am doing this because I want to talk to everyone about what is going on. I recently saw the movie American Fiction in a local movie theater. I really liked it. It was a comedy drama.  The comedy parts made me laugh and the drama parts got me in awe. It made me think a lot about what people write about in books. It made me think about whether there should be a difference between a white writer and a writer of color. It made me think of how they portrayed the writer of color using stereotypes.  I would give this movie a 8 out of 10.  Here is the trailer for American Fiction :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0MbLCpYJPA I also want to hear about what you think.

I had a Galantine’s day celebration at Benihana on Saturday night. I had a phenomenal time. I always was a fan of girls get togethers and hibachi. I came up with girls get togethers last September. Me and my female friends went to the Cheesecake Factory for my 28th birthday and we had a great time! When I hang out with my female friends, I feel very happy. I have a great time with them. For my next all girls get together, we are going to a farm for an Easter/Spring festival this March. I cannot wait for it!  Cheers! The gang is all here!  Me and Leila

Broadway Music and My Favorite Composers

Image
 I would like to tell you about my favorite composers. These composers made an impact on the stage as well in music. Here is Alan Menken in his recording studio  Alan Menken was one of my favorites. He wrote the music for Beauty and the Beast as well as Little Shop of Horrors. I like him because he wrote music for Broadway as well as for the movies and both of these were made into movies.  Here is a young Stephen Sondheim at an event  Another one I enjoy is Stephen Sondheim. He wrote the music for Gypsy, Company, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods and Follies, just to name a few. He had a very long and legendary career on Broadway. Sondheim was a trailblazer. When he passed away in 2021 the loss was immense. Even the Broadway lights dimmed for him. A lot of famous people posted on social media their condolences and their memories of him. Here is Andrew Lloyd Webber during a Phantom photoshoot Another composer I like is Andrew Lloyd Webber. He wrote the music to Phantom of the Opera, Starligh
