Manic

i surprisingly didnt cry after watching manic. i watched it on a really dreary and slow saturday afternoon. thats exactly what it feels like. the performances(ESPECIALLY FROM MY GOAT DON CHEADLE) were just great, they truly spoke to me. my roommate was watching it with me and it got really personal for her so she left almost 20 minutes before the film ended. we were having a really rough day. manic explores a reality that isnt all sunshine and rainbows, it doesnt have an absolute resolution or complete happy ending. all it could show was a little bit of hope, and spark some in someone like me (okay it was finals week so i was a little emotional watching this because i felt like my academic career was over but everything still stands).
