Ordinary People part one

When i first heard we were going to be watching a film i thought oh great, its probably going to be a documentary or one of those "educational" films. But it was an actual movie! So, that alone was pretty exciting. This movie was set in the 80's, and filmed in the 80's, so it has that feel to it, like 16 candles, and pretty in pink. When it first starts out you can kind of sense the 80's feel haha.

In the beginning i was a little confused. I wasnt really sure what was wrong with Conrad, which by the way i hate that name, his dad seemed to be a little concerend about him. He went to check on him at night, then he talked to him in the morning. The mom didnt seem as concerned. She freaked out when he wouldnt eat her french toats though. I thought that was interesting. After finding out that the family had a son/brother that died i was very surpirised. The parents didnt act liek anything was wrong at all. They didnt seem sad, or confused, it seemed they were living there lives pretty normally.

The relationship between the mother and son was extremely awkward. THey hardly talked, but when they did it was so hard to watch. It was almost embarassing. I believe the first actual "conversation" they had was when he scared her when she was in his brothers room. They talked for an awkward minute or two about trig and shirts. Then the next conversation they had he started barking at her. It was really bizarre and botehred me so much. I dont really understand how a family can be that awkward.
I want to learn more abotu his hospital visit and his brothers death and his parents relationship. I can see lots of questions being answered soon in the next viewing of the movie!
