High Fidelity Movie

The movie was very similar to the novel, with only a few aspects missing. The way Rob and Laura get back together is a bit different, and the movie left out one of Rob's breakups, Jackie Allen. I think that if this was included in the movie, it would make Rob look like an even bigger jerk.I was surprised to see this, because Rob wanted this relationship really bad, and I wanted to see it portrayed in the movie. I liked the movie, but at times I thought that it was almost exactly like the book. I usually don't like this in movies, but in this case it seems to fit. I like how they kept a lot of the same aspects of the book, except for the fact that it was set in Chicago instead of London. That was really the only key aspect that they left out, and I think it could have been just as effective if it was set in London. I liked the movie, and I liked this book.

The Book is Over

Throughout this entire book, I have actually felt pretty bad for Rob, because he never truly found himself. At the end of the book, things actually do turn out good for him, and I was happy for him. He actually finds out who he really is, not by looking at the past, but by Laura helping him. I kind of predicted this at the beginning of the book, that at the end of the book, Rob would be more sure, of which way to go in life and everyone would be happy. This change starts to take shape, when Rob went to Laura's dad's funeral, and heard her cry, and I think that it was at this point in the book that he finally realized that he didn't want to end up alone, even if that means losing some people along the way. He finally ended up Proposing to Laura, and she rejected him, and I was expecting him to freak out and totally break down, but in fact he just moves on and gets over it. This is a very good thing and a big step for Rob. For the first time in the book, I didn't feel bad for Rob; I thought that he was more at peace than ever before. The book ends on a very good note for Rob, and they kind of leave you hanging on where he will go next, and all that you know is that Rob is ready to finally get over his past and live. Rob has finally found himself! Yay for Rob!!

Death is Scary for Rob

Rob is afraid of death. Buy why would he be afraid of that if he has nothing to really lose? No relationship, no big career, and he just floats through life. I think hew is more afraid of death because if he dies, he will not have accomplished much in his own life, but that is just my personal opinion. I think that his fear of death does play a role in his infidelity, but I think that this is just another one of Rob's excuses. He is very afraid of losing the people around him. He is just like this with Laura, he doesn't want to lose her so he cheats on her. He's afraid of losing a person, while at the same time he doesn't wish that he had done anything differently when Laura's dad dies. He doesn't want to feel bad, and he doesn't. I think that even though his reasoning behind losing people makes sense because he doesn't want to get too attached, but I think that if he really did this, then he would not still be in contact with ex-girlfriends that he is afraid to let go. It's interesting how he puts them in his top ten list and says that he has let them go, when he hasn't, because he obviously hasn't let them go. It's ok that he doesn't know how to feel, he and Laura broke up, and he was never close to him in the first place. Yes, he was a little but sad, but not to the point of mourning, but he is very scared of being sad and having the people around him die. But just because he is afraid of losing someone doesn't mean that he shouldn't risk losing that person, especially if it means that he could have a very meaningful relationship if he tried.

Rob's Discovery

Basically the whole reason why Rob talked to his ex-girlfriends was to find out what went wrong in the relationships. He did this so that he could try to avoid the mistakes that he made in his past relationships. He starts off by talking to Allison, who now lives in Australia, it turns out that she never even told her parents about him. I think he thought this was significant to interview her, since this was his first break-up. He then talks to penny and she tells him that he was the one who actually dumped her and not the other way around, and this makes Rob feel a little bit better. The he interviews Jackie, who is actually married to Phil, and they seem to be the only ones who are able to give Rob some advice on making long term relationships work. Then he comes across Sarah, who was the one who dumped him because she decided that she actually did want a relationship. Rob just wanted to find out what went wrong in the end, and Sarah does not give him what he is looking for, instead she was saying how big of a mistake she made. The single person who gave Rob his best advice turned out to be his worst breakup, Charlie. I think that this only makes sense, since he would be more likely to listen to Charlie, rather than Penny and Allison. This is a big step for Rob, maybe he will learn more about how to keep a decent relationship going.
