Let's Talk About: Five Feet Apart

'Five Feet Apart'... where do I begin? I'll start by giving you a brief summary of the plot, now it will be very brief because I don't want to spoil this movie for you guys as I want you to watch it. 

This movie is basically about two teenagers who fall in love but the sad thing about this particular love story is that they both have Cystic Fibrosis, meaning they cannot touch each other, they must stand six feet away from each other at all times. This way they cannot infect each other with bacteria. However, Stella (played by Haley Lu Richardson), thinks this rule is absurd, so as she's lived with CF all her life; she decides to take control of CF, trashing the rule, and making up her own rules,  hence the title 'Five Feet Apart'. 

I feel like I've summed this plot to a tee here. However, I am going to say that this movie is really intense so bring some tissues along to the cinema when you go and see it. 

The reason why I love this film is not just because of Will (played by Cole Sprouse) but Oh My God, I could literally look at him all day. He is art and he knows it as well! I digress.... 

But I do love this movie as it is a very tender movie to watch and if you're like me, a total romantic you will love this movie as it's just so emotionally bittersweet. I cannot tell you how much I love it, I would watch it again as I feel like I haven't gotten over the ending and I need to hysterically cry as it was beautiful. I definitely recommend this movie,  for me this was like 'The Fault in Our Stars' but more intense as it got me emotionally attached to the characters. I feel like as I'm older than I was when I watched 'The Fault in Our Stars' I understand the depths of love the characters felt for each other. 

'Five Feet Apart' is a movie you can see with your boyfriend/girlfriend,  your best mates or even with your mum.  This movie gives a good message as it's all about touch and attachment. The monologue at the end highlights how important touch is and how touch intensifies a relationship, without touch, individuals do not know how to express their feelings. 

This movie has everything in from Cole Sprouse being the angsty boy you'll fall in love with to coverage and importance of understanding how living with Cystic Fibrosis affects peoples relationship. It even explores issues like death, and grief. This movie has every component which makes this a good movie, and I will say that this has got to be my favourite movie of this year. 

Hopefully, they will do a sequel of this movie as there are so many unanswered questions. 

I hope you go and watch this, or if you have watched this movie comment down below your favourite parts. I may be biased but I can't pick, I loved this movie so much.

Netflix Review: Isn't it Romantic

I know its been a while since I've written some blog posts. I've had assignments and essays, plus these last few months have been difficult  so that's why there is lack of posts. However, today I will review something that I have saw ages ago with my friends. (End of exam celebration evening which included pizza and watching this movie). 

I want to start off by saying, although I watched this movie, some bits of it I can't remember as I have only watched this once. Fortunately, I did watch most of the film to have a rough idea what this movie is actually about, so here goes. 

'Isn't It Romantic' is a movie starring Rebel Wilson as 'Natalie' a girl who has always believed that there are no such thing as happy endings, this was told to her by her mother while she watched 'Pretty Woman' as a child. 

Now grown up, Natalie works in an office where she struggles to take control, even her client Blake played by Liam Hemsworth believes she is the coffee girl. However, as she finds her 'Blake' attractive, Natalie cannot help but tell her colleague how she will never be attractive to men like that as she believes she is not the regular stereotypical woman that men fall for.  

While she is doing this, she heavily criticises rom-coms as she believes they are all rubbish, since nobody really acts like that in real life. 

Unfortunately, for Natalie when she returns home, something happens to her which results in her living in her own 'fairy-tale' (a romantic comedy). 

However, things are not all they seem.. she gets the guy (Liam Hemsworth) but learns some valuable lessons along the way which show how unhappy she is. She realises she loves someone else, and tries to turn back time to her regular lifestyle. She does eventually do this, and loves herself more, while also responding to the person she likes who has always liked her in the first place. She has just never realised it. 

Which just goes to show some things are worth pursuing. 

In regards to the film, this film is funny, got an all star cast and is a great film to watch with the girls/friends. The message behind the movie is good too, don't always believe what you see in romantic comedies as people do not act like that in real life; and I love how this movie shows the audience this by making it a parody. 

Comment down below if you've seen the film and liked it, also tell me what else you would like to see on this blog.
