MotW: Metropolitan 1990

When I saw this movie I thought it was going to be boring because it gives you low budget vibes of a B movie for maybe television with low profile actors.

However I was surprised how much I end up liking it, specially because those kind of groups do form in real life, maybe not as classically dandy nowadays, but like a but more modern version of that, where some kind of dress code standard is expected from the group, depending of the occasion and activity of course.

They also have these characteristics where everyone is there for the social vibe, but each one has their own interests depending of the person, and arguments can occur without really breaking it up because somehow it is accepted everyone is there to add to the sociability aspect of their routines, and not so much for the friendship, even though friendship does occur.

So it was very easy to relate and it did brought me memories of the group of friends we had back in Rhode Island. We had a similar vibe in our group, and when I moved to Washington D.C., I was in another group just like it, that also had similar characteristics, except without the fancy attires of course.

So it felt very relatable, and that made it interesting, even though it got more immature towards the end, but that's alright because it gives it a youthful vibe that can also come up as nostalgic.

Another movie that is higher budget that also fits this description is The Great Gatsby, although that one is more mature and has actual crime, but they both give you this social group vibe that makes it relatable.

I would give this movie a raging of 8.4. It's a low key movie to watch late a night if you are in the mood for a drama, that can keep you interested, and leaves you feeling that you didn't waste your time.

There is no build up in the movie, or any serious turns, it's not trying to get to an ending, and the ending wasn't anything special either, it wasn't even important, it's just the experience of watching the movie what really counts if you are in that sort of headspace at the moment.
