    Default The movie/song that relates most to your life

    So if you could pick a movie and/or song that relates most to you life, what would it be??


    Empire Records and Thirteen are movies that I can relate to the most.
    Every character in Empire Records, I could relate to.
    (Plus it has the best soundtrack ever! )
    And Thirteen...yeah...that movie hits really close to home too.

    as for a song...I have different songs for different moments of my life, so that's a little more difficult to just pick one.

    What movie can you really relate to?

    What about a song (or songs)?

    Why?

    (sorry, in a movie mood tonight).

    I'll combine both the movie and the song with this one that describes my life right now to a t: . I will admit I watch this movie all the time and I listen to the soundtrack often (and have worn out VHS, vinyl, 8 track, cassette and will no doubt wear out the DVD and the second CD too). I feel right now my life is exactly like this because I am waiting for the one guy to come around and I want to look for other guys, but it's hard.

    Honestly, this performance rocks me so hard. I find it to be so inspirational and if anything gets me in the mood to make money it's this song!

    I can't embed it but please, everyone, go and watch this!

    I have LOVED that movie since I was 4 "it came out when I was 2" LOL....Definately NOT a movie of how my life is going, but it's a sweet image of how I want to end up The carnival and all ....The song however does leave a mark on me also....

    I want my current situation to end like the movie does where we fly away, but that remains to be seen. Strangely I had a dream with him and me re enacting the carnival scene so who knows how it will unfold. The lyrics of the song sound exactly what I'm going through and it's so bizarre.

    Sounds weird because it was such a depressing play/movie, but Closer really spoke to me. Particularly Alice, Natalie Portman's character. The way she closed other people off from herself... somewhat childlike and naive yet fully aware of the situations she put herself in. Despite creating a completely false identity to others, she was honest in portrayal. Just a very complicated individual. I could relate to the film a lot...how love becomes an excuse for a whole mess of selfish behaviors and irrational actions and it doesn't matter who gets hurt. I think a lot of people could relate to this film, it's very raw.

    House music; this is the rhythm of my day... my day always reminds me of early 90's house music. Its sounds silly but it's true so I listen to it all day! (As with most house music you gotta give it a minute but it's a classic in my colllection)

    Movie? Kate Winslet's character in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind is so much like me. Powerful, confused, ambition, independent, dependent, spontaneous, craves and fears normalcy. My boyfriend also reminds me of Jim Carrey's character; dependable, predictable, quiet, loving, easily taken advantage of, very deep, very emotional but unwilling to share about it. Some quotes that I found fit me well:

    Clementine: I don't know! I DON'T KNOW! I'm lost! I'm scared! I feel like I'm disappearing! MY SKIN'S COMING OFF! I'M GETTING OLD! Nothing makes any sense to me! NOTHING MAKES ANY SENSE!

    --

    Joel: [narration as Clementine acknowledges him by raising her coffee mug] Why do I fall in love with every woman I see who shows me the least bit of attention?

    --

    Clementine: Look man, I'm telling you right off the bat, I'm high-maintainance, so... I'm not gonna tip-toe around your marriage, or whatever it is you've got goin' there. If you wanna be with me, you're with me.
    Joel: Okay.
    Clementine: Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours.
    Joel: I remember that speech really well.
    Clementine: I had you pegged, didn't I?
    Joel: You had the whole human race pegged.
    Clementine: Hmm. Probably.
    Joel: I still thought you were gonna save my life... even after that.

    --

    Clementine: Drink up, young man. It'll make the whole seduction part less repugnant.

    --

    I don't know I just really, really love that film. If you haven't watched it yet, I HIGHLY recommend it.



    Song? I'm sure there are several, I'll get back to you on that one.

    Predator. I feel like I'm always getting forced into shit situations where no one ever tells me exactly what's going on... and as I find out more things just get worse and worse and there's no way for me to gtfo.

    OK you asked for it ...

    Ava Gardner ... Love is Nothing




    The closest movie content was probably Kate Beckinsale's performance opposite Leonardo in 'The Aviator'

    The curious case of Benjamin Button really hit a cord with me. I could relate to the character. I feel like Ive done 1000 things and lived 1000 lives and am ready for more. I just remember that line, "Its never too late to start something new". I also feel alone in the world as though I never really fit exactly right anywhere but it hasnt bothered me for years. I like it.

    Songs it depends on what day you ask but I always get a warm fuzzy from:
    Sweet Disposition - Temper Trap.

    One of my friends said my theme song back in 2nd year uni was
    My Ass is Like Wo - Mya

    Right now you could say I can relate to
    Heartbeat - Enrique (corny I know)

    Song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0put0_a--Ng

    Movie - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDw1_yV6ufM

    I guess I am still living in the honeymoon phase of my marriage and I love it.

    Before this wonderful man entered my life the song was different and I couldn't really relate to any movie then since I tried to shut everything out.

    Song then - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmEf4o1s_yo


    and for anyone that has been in this girls place...this one is incredibly relatable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v_4O44sfjM

    Nine Inch Nails, "I Do Not Want This." The part of the song that I identify with the most:

    I want to know everything,
    I want to be everywhere,
    I want to fuck everyone in the world,
    I want to do something that matters.

    Joan Jett - "Bad reputation" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RAQXg0IdfI

    Self explanatory. I don't give a shit what anyone thinks about me, except for those who I care about. I don't live my life to please ppl who I don't give 2 shits about. Plus song makes me happy too. haha
