Chronicle: a Wet Dream!

[image error]
The second post of the day! What's that I hear? Are those cried from my amazing readers. I didn't know you felt this way about my blog.



(I'm actually posting this today, on Thursday, but it's going down as being posted on Wednesday like a good blog post.)



I went to the cinema the other day with my friend and I'd been really excited to see this film, and I'm still quite buzzed about it now.



In my opinion Chronicle is a bullied teenage boy's wet dream! It's the daydream of a lot of people to be able to do the things that the three characters in the poster can do.



I enjoyed the storyline and I enjoyed the characters and their development through the story.



Naturally there was a lot of criticism because we both thought that it was going to be a rip off of The Blair Witch or another Paranormal Activity solely on the way in which it's been filmed.



The film has very serious themes such as abuse, bullying and poverty. It was also very well acted. And overall I thought that is was a great film. I'm not really sure if the tagline on the poster goes because of some of the more serious points, but it does go in a way. If you can't see it, it says "Boys will be boys."




If you've watched it, what did you think?


I told a friend that I wasn't going to include any spoilers...so this is your warning, if you don't want to know some of the major things then quickly scroll down to the comments.



The best part for me was that end scene when that guy was going crazy and he was killing people, trying to kill his cousin, going through walls and windows.



I also really liked it when the boy got his anger out on his dad because you're going on this journey and you know that you want him to do that because he can and it's all very "kill him! Go on, do it," yeah, I was the only person who sympathised with the killer...maybe that says something about the frame of mind you have to be in if you want to be a writer.



People have done much worse (killed on far greater scales) and had less to work with (no telekinesis).





I think that you should watch the film and then tell me what you think.
