Movie Review: The Sky is Pink

Posted In: Love, Movies

By Hope Ankney

If you’re in the mood for a love story that pulls on your heartstrings and takes you on an emotional journey, look no further than Priyanka Chopra’s newest Hindi movie, The Sky is Pink. It acts as the true story of Aisha Chaudhary, a teenager who had pulmonary fibrosis whose parents dedicated their whole lives to helping her survive. Choosing not to focus on the illness aspect of the story, the film is narrated by the daughter, who instead details the incredible love story of her parents. She lets you know quite early on that she’s speaking from beyond the grave, but her retelling of her parents’ 25-year relationship is nothing short of hilarious, heart-warming, and, at times, heart-wrenching as it touches on the beauties of life and death.

Movie Review: The Joker

Posted In: Love, Movies

By Hope Ankney

If you’re looking for a dark and psychologically thrilling film to jumpstart Halloween, Joaquin Phoenix’s adaptation of The Joker is the perfect one for you. The film focuses on the origin story of the infamous DC comic villain, and his descent into chaos and madness. Arthur (The Joker’s given name) has never felt like he genuinely fit into society. As a failing comedian, he tries to find purpose on the streets of Gotham City. Yet, he continuously feels the need to wear two masks- one for his day-job and the other to try to fit into the framework of the world that has, overtly, rejected him. The only person who has shown Arthur any sense of empathy and kindness is his neighbor, Sophie Dumond. They form a connection as she tries to help better his circumstances and make him feel less alone. Unfortunately, this comes on the heels of his descent into the madness that ultimately transforms him into the criminal mastermind we now know him to be as The Joker.
