High Fidelity (2000)

Movies are like music for me. I'll pop in a DVD while I'm surfing the net, or doing the ironing (this is an strange example, as I never iron, but you get the idea). Hence why I watch so many movies, often in one day. So today, I had to clean the apartment and I thought to myself "What will be a perfect movie to put on while pottering about the house?" So appropriately it turned out to be High Fidelity.

Its been a bit of a John Cusack week, but this is certainly a leap from 2012. There's something strange about loving his character Rob Gordon in High Fidelity. He's a self confessed bastard who wallows in his own self pity and self analysis. It not unlike being in love with Bernard Black from the British Series Black Books. There's something about self loathing men than makes us women fall head over heals.

This used to be my wallowing movie too. When I was single and feeling miserable on it would go. I'd listen to Rob like a prophet passing on his wisdom. It was up there with watching a chick flick when you need a good cry.

I watch it now days from a different perspective. I can sit back and enjoy the humour,  the passion, and the great music that streams from this film in abundance. I just sit with this film and its characters like I'm hanging out with friends and have a great time.
