An Education

4.87656789

This is that coming of age shit.  It's a good movie.  It's

about this chick in High School in England, so you

know they're coming with the accent, and the slang,

and the freaky driving.  You know the deal.  I'm sure

you know the deal. 

Peter Sarsgard plays this british dude who starts

kicking it with the High School chick, but he's mad old. 

It's sort of weird.  I used to get really annoyed when I was

young.  I would discover that girls my age were going out

with old dudes.  SAY IT AIN'T SO!  It gave me a very

unique feeling of anger.  It was annoying, like when one of

your uncles would take your arms and slap your own face

with them; and then have the nerve to ask you why you are

hitting yourself.  I HATE THAT SHIT.  It just was not fair

when those old guys came around.  It's like going to the

prom, but seeing your date dancing with a giant hand that

just crashed through the goddamn wall.  It's very upsetting

and intimidating, and it makes no sense.  It's some ruthless

ultimate cockblocker shit.

 

 

Almost instantly, that attention from old guys made these

girls feel like they were women, and they would really scoff

at me and my wild ass behavior.  F that.  I'm not the fool

honey, you are.  I'm true to myself.  I'm like a Pelican

getting what I want in this world.  Nowadays, that dating

behavior still is weird to me.  Back in the past people told

me I could be the old guy with girls in the future, but nah.  I

don't want to be that old guy like Sarsgard, even though act

like a damn kid.   Whatever.  That is not for me.  Some of

these fools want to judge me for riding my bike?  Clip that.

 

As far as the acting goes, I think the whole cast

delivers.  Sarsgard does a good job and he didn't piss

me off at all.  My man Alfred Molina lays it down like

that pro.  The mother was great in this too.  Also, let me tell

you... THE WONDERFUL TEACHER FROM RUSHMORE IS

IN THIS!  She's fantastic in this world.  I wondered what

happened to her.  I'm glad that she is still on the scene. 

The main character does a good job too.  Listen, the whole

movie lays it down like a pipe  layer.

 

Anyways, this girl in the movie starts getting crazy

about Sarsgard, and she doesn't want to go to

college! I don't know why she would not want to go to

college- why wouldn't you want to prolong being a

complete real world looser with four years of wilding and

exploration?  

 

SPOILER ALERT

I did the math... by the time she would get to her senior

year at Oxford,  it would be 1966.  I'm glad she got her

senses back and decided to clean up her act and go to

school, because in 1966, her life experience and level

of wilding would MOST DEFINETLY BE ON AND

POPPING.

 

I must admit, I got a little sleepy during the movie.  During

one of the scenes where they are driving I freaked out for a

second- I thought they were going to crash driving on the

other side of the road like that!  I was in the zone. 

So in conclusion, I will tell you that this movie was Blaze.

If you respect the British, and enjoy coming of age stories,

check this film out.
