Butterfly Crush (2010)
A great story of friendship
I fell in love with the book "Dance Sisters" and had just finished reading it when I discovered it was made into a movie! Although many changes were made to the original storyline (that's to be expected) I quite enjoyed this adaptation. It was fun to see the author's vision of his characters and see them actually sing and dance the way I couldn't quite visualize while reading the book. It's hard to help a friend who doesn't want to be helped, especially when they've hurt you by not fulfilling their promises, but Moana won't give up on Eva or Butterfly Crush. Moana has such a kind heart and really cares about Eva, and she will do anything to save her friend and their music career – even taking on the wonderfully sinister Dreamguide leader Star! Watching this was like getting a back-stage pass to the wonderful and drama filled life of an Aussie rising star. I liked the way the end wrapped everything up. I was sad to say goodbye to these characters but I just discovered some fantastic music videos by the girls on Youtube! Now that is pretty cool. Love indie films as I feel like I can really relate to the characters.
Courting Chaos (2014)
A fun movie with realistic characters
This movie is about finding your voice by figuring out who you are and what you want. Ginger is a good girl, does what her mother says and stays in her shadow, but she desperately wants to break free and be herself. Problem is she doesn't know who that is yet and she's too timid to attempt to find out. I really loved the "feel" of this movie, I was brought into the world of street performers and showed a unique lifestyle I had never seen or understood before. They are like a true family that accepts you and helps you blossom, not hold you back with their ideals. As I was in a similar situation not too long ago I could really relate to Ginger and found myself rooting for her (and wishing I could give her advice lol) as the movie progressed. Now I really want to read the book!
