The show opens with a man and a woman having
an argument as she chases him outside of a restaurant. She seems to be telling
him how he doesn’t understand how she wants to pursue her dreams but she also
wants to work on their relationship. In response, he asks for his engagement
ring back. Her friend then begins to comfort her because she seems upset about
the break up. The main character then sees herself in the mirror as a young
woman representing that she is now young and free.
Her and her friend are now finding
videos so that she can cheer up and get over the episode of what happened with
her boyfriend. During movie night they seem to be having a good time laughing
and talking about the good fun times and decide to prank call like their teenagers
again but then change their minds. The women continue to have a conversation
about their life mistakes and things that they would have done differently.
The main character then wakes up the
next morning confused in disbelief and wondering if the break up actually
happened. Her friend fills her in on everything and gets cheerful about a
decision they both made the previous night. While getting ready for work she
picks up a Walkman and beeper so I’m guessing that this show is based on the 90s.
While in the building at work she then begins having flashbacks of herself fainting
in an elevator. While at work everyone is looking at her as if they found out
about her break up. A colleague approaches her and discusses the situation when
is then approached by her boss and offered a higher position seeming to be very
excited. While in her new office a lady walks in looking confused and tells her she is to be seen by the boss about
being promoted and instead is then fired.

In the opening scene the man and woman are
actually arguing at the fact that she decided not to get married at their
actual wedding. She doesn’t think that they will make it as a couple so he asks
for his ring back. She then turns to her friend and says, “This is the worst
thing that has ever happened.” they both reply by joking and laughing. The main
character is actually back in time that’s why she is in the mirror looking
younger. While watching movies with her best friend she is actually telling her
about the future. Her friend is so amazed at the fact that you are able to
watch movies on a cell phone in the future. This is the reason why they were
looking at the phone because her friend doesn’t understand how you could watch
movies on such a small screen so the main character informs her about the screens
on the Iphone.
She states that she actually misses the
future and not her fiancé. She wakes up the next morning wondering what year it
is wondering if she is back in the current time on still in the past. As she is
preparing for a promotion at work she looks at the pager and Walkman speaking
about how she misses the future because of all the things that she has to carry
instead of one electronic doing everything. While in the building where she
works as she passes the elevators it reminds her of what happened before she
was sent to the past.
The office has found out what happened in
her relationship while speaking to a colleague about it she is approached by
her boss and told that she has been promoted to Vice President. As she is
settling in and excited she is told that she is in someone else’s office by the
person who’s office it actually is. When speaking with her boss he teases her
about him actually promoting her. She is then told to go get coffee so that she
knows that she is still nothing but a secretary.
Hello Erika,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog post. I found it very interesting, clear and to the point where I can see the movie play out as I read it. I noticed your assumption was very close and similar with to each other with the volume either up or down. Also I noticed the detail was straight forward, full of facts and to the point when the volume was up. In facts, with the volume up I believe it was better to enjoy the movie when the words, body language and cues was clear; instead of trying to figure things out with the volume down. It is funny how you came so close in detail just by observing non-verbal skills and cues compared to watching the movie in full volume.
Hello Tymeshia,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog assignment. I did not see the have and have not either. I wanted to see the show but have not got around to it. Yes, you are right I have heard from so many people that it is a good show. Though the detail you have provide I was able to see the show play out before my eyes. I noticed by reading your blog you gathered good, similar and full detail both with the volume up and down. I agree with you your assumption was accurate as well as close.
