I have watched lots of movies in the genre: Drama. I have loved most of them, for they did not only warm my heart, caused a great change on my emotions, but also, for they have served as an eye-opener for me. You see, that's my basis on whether I like a movie that I watched or not. If it has become an eye opener for me, or made either a minor or major aftermath on my emotions- moreover my life, then, I can say, I like that movie!
A while ago, I have just witnessed an enticing movie entitled We Bought A Zoo. It is a dramatic and a kind-of comedic movie that speaks the story of how a widowed father left with two kids- a young girl and a teen-aged boy- face on the consequences on buying a shut-down zoo. With the money that Benjamin Mee(played by Matt Damon) have earned, and with the help of the old crew of the zoo, they renovated and successfully reopened it, despite the struggles they have faced during the process.
Moreover, beneath the struggles of fixing the zoo and what not, lies a drama between a loving father and a son who seeks for his father's attention. It is a stereotypical story of a father and a son who are in conflict with each other, yet resolves their burden with each other in the end. Also, it is a depiction of how patient a father is to his son, no matter how much unbecoming they may become.
The story gets more conflicted and dramatic when they moved to the zoo, in which, Dylan Mee(played by Colin Ford) did not agree upon. This is the part where he gets mad at his father for forcing him to live there, to live away from his friends. In my opinion, I don't blame him! Putting myself into those shoes, I would've felt the same. I would've been kinda mad at my father too if he'd force me to live on a place somewhere I don't like, moreover, somewhere away from civilization, somewhere away from my friends. The only difference is, if I were forced to live in a zoo, I wouldn't mind. In fact, it would be a privilege to me. Imagine yourself owning a zoo, that would probably the best experience in your life!
Drama is not the only thing that the movie conveys. It also exhibits a romance, in which I find peculiar. And by peculiar, I mean, nothing like I've ever seen. The way Lily Miska(played by Elle Fanning) seemed so perky and all, and was always trying to get the attention of Dylan, it was, I guess you could say: cute. The story between the two, where Dylan ends up chasing Elle was so savvy. I am noted on what Dylan said on the scene where it is raining and he is outside the window of Lily. Whereas, he ended saying the words "I love you". It was so cute! Never have I seen a fine masterpiece that is able to make me feel this way. Kudos to Cameron Crowe for an amazing movie that is able to touch the hearts of more than a thousand.
I shall soon be watching more movies which may be similar to this one. I await for a movie that causes a great causatum in my life. As for now, I am happy with what I've seen. Having said this, I can say, We Bought A Zoo is an enticing, mesmerizing, amazing, touching and satisfying movie that you just can't resist to miss. Every scene is a precious moment captured you sure don't wanna miss.
