Movie Review

A movie that I have seen and is in my opinion a great piece of work would have to be "Premonition". It was made in 2007 but is a movie that you are able to watch several times, it is in a way a thriller inside of a drama. It follows the actress Sandra Bullock playing a woman named Linda Hanson. The movie starts off with Linda getting information from a police officer telling her about a car accident her husband Jim had died in. The emotion of seeing woman who has just lost her husband is show greatly through all characters including the children of Linda and her newly deceased husband. The next week of her life confuses her to no end each day is very different one day her husband will be dead and the next her is still alive. The movie does not say what exactly all of it means. Each day is full of very emotional and dramatic events between life and death Jim has no idea that Linda has been living life out of order; actually no one in her life seems to know what it going on the all live life normally. Normally as in how a person would deal with someone being dead and the next day not even knowing that they are. The movie keeps you guessing through, makes you think about what the next day will include. Would the next day be a day where Jim is a part of their everyday lives or could it be his funeral? The mother of Linda takes care of the children while Linda begins spinning out of control, because it seems to everybody else that she is going insane, she is the only one living life were one day her husband is there and then one day he is dead. The mother also admits her on insanity, Linda writes down what happens each day and it shows that it includes the days of the week each day occurs in a pattern but not in order. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are all out of order to her. This teaches her that she has to appreciate the days she has with Jim. Once she know the exact day Jim dies it comes on her “the next day,” she is behind Jim in the car she tells him to come back but as he does a semi collides with his car completely engulfing the car, it shows that she caused the accident in a way. At the end of the movie it shows Linda and her children, when she gets up from her mattress she is showing a baby bump.
This movie is very suspenseful; keeping you wondering what is going to happen to the family. Following a woman on the edge of insanity, freaking from the loss of her husband and how she deals with protecting her children. The acting of Sandra Bullock always is very outstanding; showing her in a different genre, away from her comedic roles shows how she can perform in any genre. Movies always make us think about certain situations and how we would go through them handling them in different ways. Overall This was a great movie to keep you interested and wanting to know what happens next, the story is not all clear at times but the ending sums it up perfectly it is very sad but thoughtful.
