This story was a common story that women hear often about victim-blaming. Women were told to be quiet to avoid attention, to dress conservatively to avoid attention and to not get drunk….

This movie was a reminder that it was important to follow your heart and be brave.

She was a head cheerleader and fell into a coma after a cheerleading accident. When she woke up, she assumed life was the same as before….

Her rival married her high school boyfriend, who became infatuated with her again when he saw her!

What will happen when she forces herself to blend in and excel in the high school social zoo?

Conclusion

I actually enjoyed this movie. All the school bullies didn’t disappear even though the principal worked to become inclusive of everyone. I feel very much like her at times as I enjoy many of the past times of younger generations. Past times like social media, really help me to stay current. However, some people of my generation or older, don’t understand and even make fun of my involvement with younger generations.

Netflix Series: The Andy Warhol Diaries

Image Courtesy of IMDb

Summary

This series featured excerpts from the Andy Warhol Diaries book. The private life of Andy Warhol was displayed uncensored. That included his love life, his daily life and the gun shot incident. The intimate details into his thoughts during the rise of the AIDS epidemic among his friends really showed how anxious he was living each day.

The relationships that he developed in the art and entertainment industry helped to shape a lot of what we knew now as pop culture.

Conclusion

There was a bit of nudity that did catch me by surprise. However, I really learned a lot about how he was so forward in thinking and comfortable about being himself.

I have always been inspired by his art and really appreciate this series.
