Goldfish Memory

April 4th, 2007

I just saw a movie I really really enjoyed. I have been taking a Celtic film course this year as part of my I-now-study-Ireland-because-I’m-learning-about-my-heritage plan. It has been a great experiance but with only a few exceptions most of movies have been either dark, or depressing or both. Even the more up-beat films (such as Trainspotting, and Divorcing Jack) were incredibly dark in the subject matters they were dealing with.

Goldfish Memory was a welcome change from this trend. Although many of the shots gave the appearance of a 90s Canadian or UK made TV show (and thus were somewhat less-than-awesome), the storylines were refreshing, and exciting and fun. My whole class was laughing. I walked out feeling light and airy, but without that ‘yuck-I-wasted-an-hour-and-a-half’ that often accompanies romantic comedies.

Definitely suggest watching it.
