Live By Night

Is it "live" or "live"?

Live By Night

I think this film is worth seeing. From all the mob movies that have come out, this one seemed to grasp the concept the best from the ones I have seen. By the end of this film I fully enjoyed what I had seen. With that said, there were too many discrepancies in the beginning that led to questions that were never fully answered. I think every actor in this film had an accent other than Ben Affleck. I'm not sure if that was intentional but it was highly noticeable that his father was Irish and everyone had some sort of accent but him. On top of that, the female wardrobe was completely modernized while the male wardrobe embodied the time period and location. Although the wardrobe was very pleasing to look at, it did not suit the style of the film.

Like in all movies, you anticipate that people will die or at least be beat up. With that in mind, the violence shown in this film was borderline unnecessary. I think it showcased how these people dealt with problems but it was a bit much.

One part of the movie that I thought was done very well would be the "sex scene" between Ben Affleck and Zoe Saldana. The musical score that backed the scene reached the audience to show that it was more that just sex for the two characters. I also highly enjoyed Elle Fanning's performance. She commanded her part and showed that she could hold her own when surrounded by actors who have been on the big screen since before she was born.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
