Nine Lives

Nine Lives is an enjoyable film. It's more like 9 shorts back to back with some of the characters' lives intersecting. They're all sad stories. Really, really sad stories. It's actually a quite depressing film...but enjoyable to watch...if you like depressing films. Tuckergurl had asked if I knew what was going on in the Lisa Gay Hamilton story. My best guess is that her character was impregnated by her Latino step-father when she was very young, gave birth to a child and supressed the memories. To self-preserve, she convinced herself that the mixed-race girl she grew up with was her sister when really she's her daughter. All the years of keeping it inside took it's toll and she snapped. This is the heaviest of the nine stories in this film. But like I said, they're all pretty sad.

I never heard of this movie, but it sounds interesting. I also want to see that Subway Stories movie on your wishlist.

Wow that sounds like a really powerful movie.

Really! Wow, my mind did not put that together at all. My favorite one was the Robin Wright Penn one.

Yeah...Robin Wright Penn's was a powerful one. She did an amazing job. Amanda Seyfried's story was good...the whole movie...all the stories were good...everybody gave really strong performances.
