For this Movie Scenes that Changed Our Lives- Video Assignment by Annie Belle, I selected scenes from 3 movies… October Baby, Sweet Home Alabama, and A Walk to Remember. These scenes that I chose changed my outlook on life.

The first scene is from October Baby. In this scene the main character is talking with a Catholic priest about her twin brother, whom she didn’t know she had. She speaks about his loss and her possibly failing at her life. She feels she doesn’t belong. I chose to blog about this scene because I feel as though I can’t completely relate to what she is going through… but I know I have felt many times during my life that I wasn’t living to my full potential. In that, I need to live every day like it’s my last. Because of this scene I am truly more grateful for every breath I take.

Oh my gosh… my heart melts every time I watch the second movie scene. This scene is from the movie, Sweet Home Alabama, which is one of my all time favorite movies. In the end this opening scene, the main character’s younger self asks the childhood boy friend why he would want to marry her… to kiss her any time he wants. This scene is just too darn cute and anyone with a heart would recognize how silly the scene is but also appreciate the intention of the younger boy in making his point. I just love this scene and had to include it in my movie video montage(:

In the next quick scene from October Baby, there is a line that stood out to me so much that it is now my go-to saying… “Hate the crime, not the criminal”  Those are not just empty words… I was blown away at this point in the movie, the girl’s birth  mother wanted her dead and this police officer was giving her the best advice one could ever give. I live by this saying now. There are so many moments in life when it’s just easier to hate the criminal but there is a higher power within us to overlook the criminal and just hate the crime done.

In this next scene also from the movie, October Baby, comes a powerful scene about forgiveness. We all need forgiveness every day of our lives. I completely lost it when I was watching this scene. The sincerity of the preacher’s voice and message was just so powerful and I feel as though this scene spoke directly towards me.

The dock scene is from the movie, A Walk to Remember. In this movie the main character is dying of cancer. She has a heart of gold. Her faith brings her to say whatever she feels and knows. She wants the co-main character to believe in everything so bad. This scene just represents the truths to be told. I live by my faith and help to guide my friends and family to do the same.

In the ending scene of October Baby, I was crying. The emotional impact it had on me was severe. I felt every emotion the characters played out. The main character finally was able to thank her dad for wanting her… wanting her.. can you imagine? What a great love. This movie is a definite must see for all those ready, able, and willingly to step up in their lives.

To wrap up my video montage I chose to end on a humorous note with the first part of the opening scene of Sweet Home Alabama. In this scene the young boy asks the young girl to marry him. As any 10 year old girl would say in response, I’m 10 years old.. I’ve got too much to live for. I just love this scene because it always makes me laugh even when I am feeling under the weather.

This video assignment was a lot of fun to do. I first started by uploading all the scenes into Windows Live Movie Maker. I then trimmed the scenes into reasonable segments. Then I voiceover-ed some scenes with my version of commentary. I used many captions.

Well I hope you enjoyed My Movie Scenes Montage! I imported it to YouTube but it was taken down b/c of copyright.
