Short Term 12

I watched the rest of Short Term 12 the night after we watched it in class and I have to say I love this movie. Short Term 12 may be my new favorite movie because of how real it is.  The way Short Term 12 was written is so authentic and real. This movie makes you believe you are there and really lets you into the life of every character and just what they are feeling. It shows that these kids aren’t underprivileged these kids were raised my idiotic parents who aren’t stable and that’s not their fault. It opens yours eyes to the fact they didn’t ask to have the problems they have it just happened.

This movie really made me think about all the friends I’ve come in contact with in the past and how they had issues with people for no reason and just how maybe it was how they were treated at home why they respond in that way. Even in my own life I struggle a lot with anger and hiding my emotions because of the way my parents have responded to them before. It just makes that phrase everyone is fighting their own battle so real.
