After: A Review

Lets talk.

After: A Review
Mary Caitlyn Wright

First of all let me say, this movie was amazing and I am so proud of the cast and crew for making this movie come to life. There were some hits and misses, but overall the movie was amazing.

If you are a book lover, you know that the movie is not going to be actually the same. So that is the thought I had in my head when I walked into the theater. I kept track of the filming and clips that were released as teasers. I noticed many key elements that were shown in the teasers and that definitely kept me excited. But, news came that some of the scenes were being cut and I wasn't hoping it wasn't many of the main features.

The start of the film was exactly how I pictured. The actors and actresses were spot on in executing the scene. The emotion felt real and it felt exactly like I imagined it would. When arriving at the college and the scene where Tessa meets Steph was a little different than I imagined. I do remember in the book that along with meeting Steph, you also meet Hardin and some of the other main crew before Tessa's mother demands a room change. You don't meet Hardin until a little later on and the main crew until the frat party. It was a little different but I was not disappointed with the way the scenes flowed.

Hardin was portrayed a little differently but overall he was the same, Hardin. The attitude and look had the perfect fit for his character. The chemistry between him and Tessa was spot on and could be seen right away. That was definitely a plus for this movie.

The frat party scene was exactly how I expected but the outfit for Tessa was a little different but it works for the film.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
