I absolutely love movies, anything from the 1930 to today. There are certain movies where I just keep watching over and over again, sometimes back to back in one day. When I first saw Stand By Me I watched it 7 times in a span of 3 days! There are just those movies that you can't get out of you head, whether it's because it has stricken emotion or just reasons unexplainable. For the past half year I have been obsessing over the 2009 Academy Award nominated film An Education starring Carey Mulligan and Peter Sarsgaard. I was captivated, after first watching it I couldn't get it out of my head. I immediately watched it again the same day.
An Education is about a school girl named Jenny living in 1960s London suburbia who meets a very charismatic 30 something year old man named David. She lives in a world where her parents and her teachers stress the importance of an education and going to Oxford. David lives in a world or art, musical concerts and trips to Paris, very different from Jenny's. The two begin a budding romance going off to Oxford and Paris together, Jenny losing her virginity to David. The once school girl turns into a sophisticated young woman experiencing life, culture, and love in this coming of age film.
Carey Mulligan's acting is amazing along with Peter Sarsgaard. While the plot is nothing original, the film is still very enjoyable and relateable. You can't help but fall in love with this film. It has a spark that I haven't found in many movies in the past year.
