I
recently saw the Sundance film festival winner Like Crazy. Suggested to our class by everyone's favorite Marist film teacher Josh Robbins, the movie was every
bit as emotionally driven as he promised. The story follows a young couple
experiencing first love, who is eventually pulled apart by outlandish
circumstances. Jacob and Anna meet at college in Los Angeles, where Jacob is
native, and Anna is studying in America from England. It pulls at your heart
strings when Anna is deported back home for overstaying her visa, and is
separated from the love of her life. The characters and their actors are
believable and "bring both intimacy and delicacy to the push and pull
of love, longing and regret" according to the Los Angeles Times. The movie
is more then just a chick flick and offering a more heartfelt take on youthful
passion.
