Yeah, so lets talk about this glorious day.
Just so y'all know, I am a huge baby and cry during about 80% of the movies that I see. But this one was the worst.
July 11, 2009, I lost one of my best friends. I had just pulled in front of my house after spending the day moving back from JMU for good. So the day was bad enough already. Then getting that phone call made the day go from bad to worse.
I spent the whole rest of the day with my friends. It was a difficult and emotional day and when I got home there was no way I could sleep. I decided to watch a movie. I picked Remember Me because I'd just bought it and hadn't watched it yet. (PS Spoilers in the next paragraph).
My first mistake was picking a movie that I knew nothing about. I hadn't even read the back cover, I just picked it up and decided to buy it. I think Robert Pattinson is a good actor so I figured it could be good. I'll spare you the details of the whole movie (which is excellent and I highly recommend it) and say that RP's characters Dad works in an office building in NYC, which you never see the outside of. Well, RP's character goes to the building to meet with his Dad, who is late because he decided to take RP's sister to school (which is a big step for him). It then shows a shot of RP looking out the window, then cuts to his sisters classroom where her teacher walks past the date on the chalkboard: September 11, 2001. I was really out of it and figured that the class was learning about 9/11 in school. Wrong. Then it goes back to the office building showing RP in the window and zooms out. Suddenly it hit me. I just leaned over the bed and threw up in the trashcan next to the bed. I spent the rest of the night shaky and crying.
This is the clip of the scene I described.
I had just moved back from college, lost my friend, and was reminded of another loss and the other worst day of my life all in about 16 hours.
And that is my super depressing, worst day ever post. And the time a movie actually made me sick.
SUCH an emotional ending!!
