My First Mister - Semi Film Review in Unpoetry

This movie is about an alienated teen trying to find herself and others on an emotional journey.  She takes a part time job at a men's fine clothing store and becomes friends with the elder, conservative (and dying) store manager.  The two develop a bond through comparing and contrasting their differences and similarities. 

User review from imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206963/

"This movie is very cool if you like alternative, angst ridden teenagers trying to do good. The title is awfully deceptive because there is nothing illegitimate about the "older guy - younger girl" relationship at all - here's a short synopsis: Alternative goth chick meets conservative store manager. Neither of them have a life outside of work so they slowly learn to hang out together. The rest kind of falls into place as they see how "the other half" lives, and make each other better people. Great movie to watch with your parents (no drugs or sex) and sweet for an pick-me-up kind of movie. The soundtrack is cool too - it has the great older tunes like Sinatra and such - along with some Marilyn Manson and then some reggae as well."

I cried and cried. fair warning, it's kind of a chickflick, but I would think anyone could enjoy it.

it's so adorable and kind of heart-breaking at times to watch all the little teenz going through their phases trying to find out who they are by trying on various identities. children so rule~

I like the concept in this movie that adults could help, not hinder, that awakening in a safe way. one of our hubbers made a hub that related to this. good hub. it's here:

a band that movie review didn't mention was joydrop, but I wanted to mention it because I chased them down and discovered their existence through one of the songs in the movie - "beautiful". this song totally rocks and on checking out their stuff, I found that indeed the entire CD and the next one also were overwhelmingly good. I bought them both.

.

This hub is already so long, I think a haiku is in order:

opposites can show

via contast and compare

how to love yourself

Since the breakup of Joydrop, Tara has spent time working on a solo album with producer Jordon Zadorozny, who has written with Hole.

Tara's sophisticated and soulful sound has been compared to some of the greatest female rockers, especially Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. .."

dog star radio in my mind 

wish I hadn´t been born with sight 

then become blind 

dog star radio loud & clear 

never tune out because of pain or of fear 

.

slowly burning 

the slow burn of the planet´s turning 

here we are praying to the dog star 

.

in gods we have trusted 

all the meanings of our lives 

yet all our lies 

are seen through mushroom clouds 

telepathic screams & all our dreams 

and all our dreams... 

.

dog star radio in my mind 

wish I hadn´t been born with sight 

then become blind 

dog star radio load & clear 

never tune out because of pain or of fear 

.

on the dog star radio love still heals 

on the dog star radio hate still kills 

on the dog star radio no one for a minute 

believes in a man-made reality
