Luckiest Girl Alive

I haven't seen a movie for so long that compelled me to write.

This is a hardship, a terrible memory, and let me say it as it is a story of RAPE. Do not be afraid to say the word, do not be afraid to share and do not be afraid or ashamed. Always know it was never your fault, and never forget that.

Watching out of curiosity of the title "Luckiest Girl Alive", and damn was she lucky..

It hooked me from the beginning from the first flash back scene and I was right there with her, living her teenage years at school. The girl that portrays Ani as a young girl, she did a tremendous job Chiara Aurelia is a brilliant actress, that needs to be more out there, I need to see more of her in movies, she captured my heart and soul.

And as for Mila Kunis, I believe this is one of her strongest movies, yet it seems very underrated, that I stumbled by it, never really knowing what it was about, again as the title doesn't give anything away, this movie needs to be talked about more, it is excellently executed from start to finish, though I wish there was more to the mom, more for her to say at the end, as she was left speechless.

The performances in all of the scenes is pure perfection, every emotion and pain portrayed is felt by the audience. This got me thinking if there was more to it, therefore, after a slight digging, it appears to be a portrayal of a book by Jessica Knoll, and guess what it is actually based on her life story, as some of the characters real. This just makes a lot of sense as the pain and anger reflected on screen felt so real, that I too felt it from where I was, I too was angry and waiting for her to get her revenge.

And luckily, she did get her revenge, thank god, that she taped the confession, this as a first time watcher, I prayed that she was taping it the whole seen, just me praying for her to be a smart research writer, and record the conversation. And lucky she was to come out the other side, head held high, with a powerful article in the TIMES, now that is lucky!

As for her fiancé, poor him..not in money of course but poor in mind, as not being able to handle the whole truth and would have rather kept things under wrap. He seemed supportive of her, but maybe he too was keeping up with the image of a gentleman, the image of the good supporting man that he couldn't be or keep up at the end. This I was so pleased to see her letting go of him and actually supporting herself. Yet there is no denying that Finn Wittrock from American Horror Story is a phenomenal actor, he delivered this performance with such ease, you could forget he is actually acting.

Now that I know this is based on a book and you do too, you should definitely check out the book, as it seems that a lot has been left out for the sake of the movie timing, a lot of the major plot lines were changed as well.

This goes out to the #MeToo movement, as it is something that I deeply stand and support, and would always give my voice to. I hope one day there would be no more hurting and no more agony in this world, but as long as people are still suffering there will always be more stories to tell.
