I saw this film for the first time years ago, and it never left my mind. I have since seen it many times and for each time i see something new, or something i missed. It's an ongoing story, that changes side by side the changes i go through, while going through life. The film is dark, it's very in your face. Strong images and a deep sadness is present for the most parts of the plot. But it has another more interesting side, and that is the naive and curious mindset of Bubby. how he deals with life, and how i learns and how he imitates life, is a lesson learned for everyone. To me it's all about being able to adjust, to create, even when all you have is shattered. There is a way in every situation. It may not be the common way, it may not be normal, but what ever path you find, is right for you. The people in the film are real, there is no glamour. Yoy believe their story, even if you only get little sneak peaks of how things used to be. I would call it a feel good movie. Some people might say that is a very strange thing to say about Bad boy Bubby. But Bad boy Bubby is a very strange film as well. A 10 it is.

Waking up is hard to do

This is the best film i have seen in years. It left me feeling gutted and i have to say, in tears. It really brought back some rather shitty memories from my past. It's a film that makes you feel, and it makes you feel alive. And it makes you stop and think, and that is a pretty amazing thing considering the world we live in. It's raw and unforgiving, and it's to the point. If you want a film that will stay inside you for a long time, this is it. The images and the settings are truly beautiful. It's a breath of fresh air in the midst of Hollywood plastic productions. Love is not always pretty and easy, and this film will show you just how painful love can be. And what we are willing to do for the ones we love. I am still blown away.
