Hello you guys if you are like me one of the main things you have been doing during quarantine is watching movies. Movies are an excellent way to past time and to procrastinate when you should be doing your work (lol 10/10 would not recommend) However, when you are done with your work for the day a perfect way to relax is to watch movies. So, I have composed a list of movies that I love and I have been watching during quarantine.
- Queen and Slim
I am sure you have heard about Queen and Slim is was released around December 2019 I believe. You guys this movie is so wonderful. It is about about a African American man and woman who are on their first date, but it takes a unexpected turn when then man is pulled over by ignorant policeman. When the situation escalates Slim has no other choice but to kill the officer in order to save his and Queen’s life. The pair decides to go on the run and the movie takes you on a hectic roller coaster while following their journey. Let me not get started on the end (no spoiler alerts) but I was distraught, for real. I could not finish the movie. I had to walk out the theater it affected me that much. It portrays the struggle of police brutality that African Americans have to go through. Overall, I rate this movie a 9 out of 10.
2. The Invisible Man
If you are looking for a movie that’s going to keep you on your toes. THIS IS THE MOVIE SIS! This movie is about a woman who escaped an abusive husband who manipulated and controlled her. Some time has passed by since she escaped from her abuser. The woman is notified by her husband’s brother that he has passed away. You would think she would be relived, however she still feels like he is alive. Soon after crazy things started happening to her. Like things comes up missing, someone is messing with her in her sleep all sorts of things. She comes up the assumption that her abuser is still alive and he somehow made him self invisible. While I was watching this movie I was thinking, “is this real, is this all in her mind?” I couldn’t not believe what I was watching until the very end when it was explain. Overall I rate this movie a 7 out of 10.
3. Little Women
Okay first the acting in Little Women is great. Every actor fully embodied their character and it shows. Little Women is such a adorable and empowering story. The movie follows the lives of four sisters Jo, Amy, Meg, and Beth. I relate to Jo the most in the movie because she is a writer who is focused on her craft and becoming successful. During this time period of the late 1800’s, women are expected to be married and have no ambition for their own lives. However, my girl Jo is this independent woman and she is full of ambition. This movies has very valuable lessons and it makes me want to read the Little Woman book series. Overall I rate this movie a 8 out of 10.
So you guys that is my top three movies I recommend for you all to watch during quarantine. Stay strong and I love you all!
