Where to Watch: Netflix Starring: Michael B. Jordan, Melanie Diaz, Octavia Spencer Director: Ryan Coogler Topic: "Day in the Life Movies" Intro | 0:00 Fruitvale Station | 5:05 Ratings/Reviews | 11:36 "Day in the Life Movies" | 16:58 Movie to Avoid | 21:56 There is something great about a "day in the life movie" done well. Fruitvale Station is Exhibit A. Based on a true story leading up to the events involving Oscar Grant, Fruitvale Station is by no means a feel-good story. However, it accomplishes the very difficult task of creatively telling a story of one day in a man's life who is trying to make constructive decisions to rebuild himself. Fruitvale does this in an interesting and heartfelt way. We aim to help you "Take Back Movie Night" and we think this one will help you do exactly that this week! Also, what is your favorite example of a "day in the life" movie? |
