Watching Peggy Sue Got Married

This movie by Francis Ford Coppola was on after we got back from Grace's Lion dancing, the feast that followed and other errands where the kids fell asleep n the car. and it entranced me as the kids just zoned out on a device. It was so strange. A similar plot is made into a movie about every 5 years by Disney, but Coppola's version had you on edge the whole time like you are watching a horror movie, and yet, the horror never comes. In fact the scary part is the whole idea that you can live your life differently and make drastic changes to your destiny, and yet, unlike the Back to the Future series there is no dystopian future. It's almost like an adult Wizard of OZ too. I couldn't stop watching it. And ultimately, it helps you to realize how important your children are. That you wouldn't change your children for other children. At least I wouldn't. Not for being president of the United States or Emperor of the Galaxy. Grace mentioned that he did this movie after the godfather so people were kind of like, "What the hell?" and Coppola was like, "I just wanted to make a cute movie okay." But all the cinematography is real Hitchcock like. Well maybe not, but it was all creepy even though all the scenes were heart warming and there is no monster jumping out.
There doesn't seem to be much discussion about it on Wikipedia. It's treated like any other 80's movie, but I had never heard of it. Another weird thing is Jim Carey is in it. Anyway, it's worth checking out. Better than the Godfather III for sure. Not exactly the Godfather but imagine a cute 80's movie but with strangely philosophical and disturbing themes lurking in the background of an otherwise quaint little "return to high school" type plot. For real check it out.
