I’ve re watched the movie CATS about four times in the past few days and I have to admit I’m totally obsessed. When the film came out, the reviews across the board were horrifying! I fully recall reading a zero out of four star write up in The Chicago Tribune.
For me, the film, especially during this time of COVID, mesmerized me. Being familiar with the music, I reminisced on my love for the song Memory, I fell in love with the dancing and I laughed at Rebel Wilson and I sang along to Taylor Swift’s rendition of Macavity. Also… for the record, Jason Derulo has an incredible voice!!
I actually kind of pride myself for loving this film so much since so many people have a disdain for it.
We all have a lot downtime to think during the shelter place. I look around at all my friends who are married with kids and have a partner to make decisions with. I’m newly single and quarantining back in Chicago with my mom. It’s very easy to compare and despair since my path looks so different from my very closest of friends.
I try to remember that timing is everything and that the grass isn’t always greener, but some days are easier to believe that than others.
I’ve been feeling so much, which is a good thing and I’m also doing a ton of overthinking, which spirals to anxiety. Everything is on pause, but I can’t wait for the day until I meet my wife and have a partner to make life decisions with.
How this relates to the movie CATS? There’s a lid to every pot and even though so many people didn’t like this film, it totally appealed to me. I feel grateful for the film and plan to watch it again during this time because it allows me to escape and just have fun.
