In between assignments and mommy duties I had been whacking my brains for movie titles I have missed for the past 2 years and download them to my iTouch. Now have several but I've not taken a peek at any of them. Saving them for times that I'd totally get knocked out bored. Last night was an exception though.
Hannah Montana The Movie.
You know how the actress/singer Miley Cyrus has been getting mixed reviews as of late for her teen-age "ways". But I don't buy those rumours and tabloidey stuff either. I just let them Hollywood spirits be. Afterall nobody really knows what goes on in those heads. So I'm not partial to any of them. I take them as they come, as they are. This 17-yeard-old has been making headlines lately in my mind. I think her songs are pretty cool. Her dances, moves, maybe not be for my 6-yr-old but I like them. So last night, when everyone was busy with watching the news I was watching Hannah Montana.



Surprise! Surprise! She's good. Okay, so it's not a complete surprise, I've been watching her on tv the past years. But the movie, inspite of all the bashes it had received is actually good. This clip most importantly.
Doesn't this reflect me?
I was moved.
It was like they just had one camera guy over there going wherever he pleases. And by the looks of it, he didn't even care about carrying along a lighting guy with him. You can tell it was a hot day. Miley's face gets shadowed over with all the sunny back lighting. But of course, I can never tell. They could have reflectors and diffusers all around, giant giant giant big ones. Of course they had extra lighting. Or again, maybe not. I don't know. But I love the scene. Love the cinematography on this one. Formula, yes, of course. The troubled teener whose gaze sweeps from one important character's face to another. I expected her to faint. But then again, that wouldn't make any sense coz they were going to have a successful fund raising of a concert. And so she non-chalantly says,"I can't do this.", under her breath. I love how she appears unmade up. It's like a scene from an all out rock concert. The glaring heat of the sun, the crowd, the simple costume, the tied up hair.
And I love the song.
I have the whole soundtrack in my playlist.
Last night it all came together.
