Unexplainable Events

In 2007 Sandra Bullock starred in Premonition. This movie is very confusing and in order to understand it, you need to watch it. Linda (Sandra Bullock) is a mother of two daughters and has a husband. One day Linda wakes up and comes to find out her husband is in a fatal car crash. When she wakes the next day he is sleeping right next to her. Linda wonders why her husband is a live one day and then dead the next. In the movie she skips one day, but when she wakes up she is reliving the day she skipped. Finally she realizes that she is basically reliving the whole week before her husband’s death.

Her character in this movie is a loving mother, who no one will believe. She has to deal with everyone thinking she is crazy, and try to solve her husband’s death on her own. This was a suspenseful movie, always wondering what would happen next.

Baggage from our past

In 2002 Sandra Bullock starred in The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhod. We all have baggage in our past that has made us the way we are today. In this movie Sandra Bullock is a middle aged woman who is on the road of getting married. Sandra’s mother and she are feuding back and forth. Finally the mother’s friend come and take Sid (Sandra Bullock) back to her home town to explain to her why her mother acts the way she does. The movie has lots of flashbacks of Sid when she was a little girl and seeing her mother being a drunk that hates her life, but she also remembers the good times they had together. Her mother does not excuse her bad behavior from the past. Sid and her mother eventually forgive each other at the end of the movie.

This movie is very heart tugging and shows how events in your past can halt you from moving on into your future. You need to learn to deal with the issues you face, and not just shove them into the back of your mind. Sandra’s character in this movie was a strong, silent willed lady who had no intentions of forgiving her mother for the mistakes she had committed. She eventually learns her mother’s past and is better able to comprehend why her mother acted the way she did.

Life in the fast lane

Is love, drugs, and alcohol a good combination? In 1999 Sandra Bullock starred in 28 Days. In the movie she surrounds her life with friends that drink and do drugs. After ruining her sister’s wedding; she checks into rehab for 28 days. Here she encounters multiple people with similar handicaps as hers. She has trouble in the beginning and gets caught for doing drugs. She is allowed to stay, where she starts to realize that she needs to turn her life around. She completes her course and is released back into the real world. Once she is out she goes back to hanging out with her old friends, and finally realizes that the people she surrounds herself with influence her actions greatly. With this knowledge she gained from rehab she strikes up the courage to leave her old friends behind and start her new life.

Sandra Bullock’s character in this movie is not a character I suspect her to play. She usually plays the role of an upbeat person, but in this film she is depressed and hurting from past experiences. With all this anger stored up, she tries to fill these voids with drugs and alcohol. In this film it shows that the people you surround yourself with do have an effect on what you will do. This film was a wonderful video that shows how much drugs and alcohol don’t only affect you, but everyone around you as well.

Love seperated by time

In the year 2006 Sandra Bullock starred in the Lake House. This movie shows that true love will prevail even if your love is in a separated by time. Sandra is moving out of a lake house that she has lived in for some time now. She leaves a letter in the mailbox telling the new owner that if he/she finds any of her belongings please send it to her new address. Keanu Reeves is living in that same house only two years earlier though. They realize that they are in different times, but they still write to each other because they know they are each other’s true love. After writing letters after letters, they finally try to meet each other; it doesn’t work out. Finally when they are not trying to meet up with each other, they run into each other.

The Lake House showed no matter where you true love is you will come together. I believed this was a good movie of hers, but this type of story line has been used throughout so it’s not that unique. I still loved how she portrayed her character so well in this movie. Sandra Bullock character was a lonely doctor and she never seemed to be satisfied with the one she was with. When she finally stopped worrying about who she was with; her true love came along. The Lake House was not one of my favorite movies of hers, but if you love to watch love stories this would be a great movie to watch.
