A sweet woman from El Salvador I know loved the movie Babel. That same year her daughter from El Salvador was missing for 6 months until her body was found in the desert in Arizona. The travelers her daughter was with abandoned her because she was slowing them down. The movie strongly reminds me of her and those long months she had to endure without knowing where her daughter was.

DJ, is that you?

Wow, that's an unbelievable story and I def can see how Babel would remind you of her.

I used to work with a guy at a petrol station, who looked exactly like Lee Van Cleef from The Good the Bad and the Ugly. So much in fact it was annoying to watch the film while I worked there lol

I don't mean to change the subject but I have certain songs that remind me of some chicks I used to know. Its too personal and emotional so I'm not sharing.

In About Schmidt with Jack Nicholson, the scene where he is on the pay phone calling his daughter to tell her he's on his way, he looks just like my dad who passed away over 16 years ago that I love and miss very very much. My jaw just dropped when I saw the resemblence.
Also Keanu Reeves's charcter in The Prince Of Pennsylvania reminds me of me and how I felt at that same time in my life. It's like the writer Ron Nyswaner, went into my mind while writing the script.

You bet. Yep haven't been posting much the past few months because the MCAT is right around the corner.

It was truly tragic (although some might not feel the same way). It reminds you of how real some things that movies depict really are.

Agreed, which is one reason why I love film so much. Good luck on the MCAT, by the way.

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader reminds me very much of my father, who passed away last year.

He had great potential (creative and spiritual) and was very sensitive, but very unfortunate circumstances (One of them being him locking his younger brother into a hay barn, where gas canisters were stored. His brother then started to play with matches and BOOM, the hay barn caught on fire. He died two days later. Needless to say that my father must have felt very guilty.) turned him into an alcoholic, drug addict, lowlife and completely irresponsible no-good guy. He suffered throughout his life.

I last saw him when I was 7 years old.
My sister, yeah, almost exactly like in SW, got to meet him again two years ago.
He had stopped drinking and doing drugs for a few years, and was working as a crystal healer.
I was in Viet Nam until last year, so when I came back I wanted to see him too, but the day I was scheduled to meet him in the hospital, he died of stomach cancer, 2 hours before I would have met him.

I am more like Luke, since I am a composer/musician, a Zen Buddhist, don't drink/smoke/eat meat...so I have fulfilled my potential (not to pride myself), whereas my father has to some degree redeemed himself in his autumn years.

Funny, eh?

Maybe that's why I love the SW Saga so much.

When 500 Days of Summer came out last August, I had recently broken up with my girlfriend of 2.5 years for a girl that it didn't work out with... let's just call her Summer.

That ex- and I stayed friends, though. And in a touch of irony, I took her to dinner and a movie (my second time seeing 500 Days), we ended up fooling around again, and now we're almost at 3.5 years.

Hugh Jackman's representation of Wolverine reminds me of one of my brother's best friends. They are both beasts.

That's awesome. While I know myself and the person I've mentioned will never get together again, that film really resonated with me as well. I think it's a very accurate representation of how we view our failed relationships. We all have a tendency to skew things to our liking, rather than being aware of the signs of decline.
