Results

I really enjoyed "Results" and getting a chance to meet Andrew Bujalski. I thought the characters were really well developed and had interesting personalities. I also thought it was different and interesting that there was no "bad guy" in the movie.  All the character had their own stories and flaws but nobody had any bad intentions or negative feelings towards one another. I think this made the movie better because it really made it about them as apposed to a complicated plot. It was surprising that Trevor was actually a good guy, I was waiting for him to do something that turned him into the stereotype of a personal trainer or gym owner, ect. but that never happened, which was cool. The movie was simple, but it was done right, both the story and the cinematography. I thought they chose great shots, which I noticed from the very first scene. It was also really great to hear about the making of this film, especially because it is the first film he has worked on that had big name actors and a bigger budget than his other films. It was inspiring to hear about how things developed for him and makes me want to check out his other work. Overall, I think this movie needed to be made, it was a breathe of fresh air in comparison to the hundreds of movies that revolve around restaurant workers, baristas, and office assistants. This movie made me think about the world that people who work in gyms live in, and it made me see gyms differently, so I think it's defiantly a good thing that a movie makes you think in those terms. I've been telling all the friends that they need to see it, good job Andrew!
