Forces of Nature

Saturday morning I decided to watch one of my favorite movies "Forces of Nature" starring Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck. For anyone that hasn’t seen this movie let me tell you it basically represents something I would go through travelling. Anything that can possible go wrong does go wrong.

The movie is about Ben Holmes who had his life all planned out until his grandfather decides to have a heart attack at his buck’s night after he started to dance with the stripper. Definitely something that my grandfather would have done! However this is the beginning.

Two days before his wedding Ben catches a flight from New York City but his plane skids out of control (Due to a bird for crying out loud) leaving him stranded in New York City while is bride to be is waiting in Savannah. His best man was supposed to be on the plane with him but he forgot the rings at home and had to return to get them. Some how I see this character being Josh.

During the plane crash he meets Sarah (Sandra bullock) who somehow manages to stir the plot further. Reminds me of travelling with Oishii, You can expect nothing but the worst in all cases. On the way they encounter all kinds of problems including being arrested for a drug bust, being caught in a hail storm, getting on the wrong train carriage which is heading to Chicago, Ben forced to fake being a doctor and then saving an old guys life, getting money transferred to them but the only bank in town catching on fire which means Sandra bullock offers to strip at a local strip club. However the strip club turns out to be a gay bar so it’s Ben to the rescue and finally a hurricane.

Of course like all good movies there has to be a shower scene. It may not be as good as the fingered girl but it’s an element of all good movies well in my movies anyway. In this case Ben can’t help but watch Sarah shower. I don’t blame him do you? If I was him I would of got my camera out and filmed it!

Watching this movie just inspired me to travel once again. All those dramas that you encounter along the way which you stress over but when you look back at them you can’t help but laugh it off.
