Movies: Can you do this song/movie challenge?

Hopefully this makes sense...

So what you do is that you pick a song. Preferably one of your favourites.

Then you say what the song is about. If it is about say, bullying you then list 3-5 of your favourite movies that have something to do with bullying. The interpretation is up to you, it can be vague or to the point as you wish.

An example.

The Day The Whole World Went Away- Nine Inch Nails: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDvIkqapC84

Theme: loss, through death

Movies that explore losing someone/ death (none of these are spoilers, they are central throughout the film). It doesn't have to be the central theme, by the way but still pose some significance

-American History X (loss of a father)

-Requiem For A Dream (loss of a husband)

-Batman Begins (loss of parents)

-Garden State (loss of a mother)

Hopefully that makes sense.

BQ: Favourite movie out of the ones you have listed?

BBQ: Any movie-related plans for the weekend?

    I Want To Be Free - The Ohio Players

    Well I hope this makes sense to you too. I'm taking a song about a relationship and using the theme of a man wanting to be free of the relationship which just wasn't right and was a false relationship. So I'm using that theme and carrying it farther into our relationship in society as a group of people being under the thumb of government and groups that would opress and use us to their advantage.

    The Crow- loss of a love

    Batman Begins- Loss of a love

    BQ Batman Begins

    BBQ YES!! 50/50

    I was just watcing that video, if they ever do a Brandon Lee story, they should use that song. It Can't Rain all the Time is a moving song that could be used it a lot of movies involving death and the loss of loved ones.

    Stalker is. The song tells us about obsession. So, it's about stalking/

    "People Are Strange" - Doors. The song is about being alone and lost, feeling isolated, insignificant to others. I think "strange" refers to being depressed while around everyone else seems to be happy. You walk around town, you have no one to talk to, no one knows who you are, you just don't seem to fit in.

    Movies with the same theme:

    - Into the Wild

    - Lost in Translation

    - What's Eating Gilbert Grape

    BQ: Into the Wild

    BBQ: "Hair", again and again :)

    The Blind Side is my fav.
