Take Nine: That’s a wrap!

I had such a great experience starting, developing and keeping up with this blog. It was not only a way to get to teach others about cinema but for me to learn a thing or two as well. I had so much fun exploring films from all different ages and genres and I sincerely hope you did as well. Like I’ve mentioned countless times all over this blog, I’m really passionate about films. And within the recent years I have gained a deeper interest and appreciation towards film. In the past I mostly watched films that sparked my interest through their trailers. The majority of these films were blockbusters. But as my posts go to show blockbusters, or mainstream films, are not the only good films out there. Independent films can be just as good if not better. So I encourage you all to continue exploring films from all different genres, eras and even countries. I know I did not divulge into the features of international cinema and for that I’m sorry but believe me when I say that there are so many great films out there from all over the world. Spend some time to explore some of these international films on your own if you guys want any recommendations I'll be more than glad to help!

It is obvious that films are culturally significant and has impact on people’s lives. This is one of the many reasons that I find them so important. They are a means of escape just like books. And just for the record, I’m just as enthusiastic about books as I am with films. I love stories. So I guess it shows no surprise that a dream of mine is to become a screenwriter.

Now I know the title of this post says, “that’s a wrap” but I feel as though this is not the conclusion of this blog it's just been too much fun. And maybe then I can unravel more types of films such as international films. It’s a great way to keep me busy not to mention give me even more of an incentive to watch more films. Not that I need any more encouragement to do so. So I guess what I’m so vaguely trying to get at is, yes I will be posting sporadic posts here and there. Thank you readers for your interest and time in reading all of this and leaving lovely comments. I appreciate it! Also please, feel free to shoot me any questions, recommendations, comments, suggestions etc. It helps me know what my readers are interested in or would look forward to.

One last thanks and shout out to Ms. Wong for this enjoyable assignment and support!

Winter break is so close I can taste it! That being said I wish you all happy holidays!

Best,
Vanessa
