Dear Morning Glory,
I really enjoyed watching you. For a a few reasons that I'd like to take this time to share.
First of all, you were really pretty. Alwin Kuchler, nice work. Almost every scene had at least one beautiful shot in it. From the very get go, it was interesting to watch visually. The perspective of filming through the fence when Becky's leaving her station, to the scene of her tossing and turning in bed where it racks from the weird strands to her awake at 1:30 with nothing to do, to the argument with her and Mike shot from a second story window, to the perfectly framed reflections of Mike and Colleen in the coffee table- all very beautifully composed and really brings a fantastic polish to the film.
Second of all, your trailer did not give away most of your good parts. Yes, it sensationalized the movie and made me think it was going to take a very different direction BUT I'm so glad it didn't. Kudos on being enticingly and satisfyingly misleading.
Third of all, I'm a young single recent grad who just moved to New York to take a stab at her dream of producing television - probably very similar to your protagonist 7 years ago. Anyway, I loved that there was a character who was under thirty and not only producing television but getting job offers from NBC (aka network of my dreams). I love, too, that she didn't give up or shy away from the fact that her job was her life. Sure, a big emotional moment for her was realizing her boyfriend was important to her and she was stupid to have given him up. But she never apologized to anyone for doing what she loved. I hope I never have to either.
And if I ever get an interview with the big peacock, I, too, will wear bright pink heals for the occasion-just like Rachel McAdams. "More colorful", right?
