Parenthood
Julie: He said that he loved me.
Helen: Men say that. They all say that. Then they cum.
I was surprised how, throughout the film, I kept getting moments of: "Oh, yeah, I remember this!" since the last time I saw it was shortly after it came out and I scarcely remembered any of it before this rewatch.
Another intriguing aspect was seeing this in the eyes of someone of some 30 yrs difference of age.
Originally seeing this as a young man in his mid twenties, and now, in my mid fifties. Connecting on a larger scale of the parents and grand parents as opposed to the kids, teens and young adults when I had first seen it.
I had also forgotten this was a Ron Howard film. The man is a great storyteller while still keeping (even an ensemble cast) every nuance of stories and sub-stories moving along without anything getting lost or mixed up for us, the audience.
I also found some very amusing parts in some of the more dramatic situations. Such as the quote above, along with when the "bedroom photos" were accidentally found and Julie kept making little remarks, since she had really no other way to deal with it. Such as, "This one is my favorite." or "Here's one for my wallet." The real delivery of them was out of her worry and being upset, not out of sarcasm or harshness. Making for a "real" moment.
Which what was a lot of the scenes in here. Admittedly, there were some Hollywood Movie moments like catching the pop fly or Moranis singing a Carpenters' song to his wife in her classroom she was trying to teach and the applause by the students and Steve Martin pulling off the Entertainment for his boy's birthday when Cowboy Bob was a no-show.
But still, some well done moments all the same.
