Déjà Vu Movie Review Story

Now is time again for something different. This review is more of a story that is really weird and awkward. Also this won’t be edited at all since telling this story is as awkward is it is in itself so please bare with my writing here. So here is the tale of how I saw Déjà Vu starring Denzel Washington (not really important I just thought I make it part of the introduction):

This happened about a year and a half ago when I came home from school around midday. As I was walking home from taking the bus I began to reach into my backpack for my house keys. Before I stuck my hand into the pocket of my backpack I began to realize that I don’t have my house keys at all do I? I looked in my pants pocket, jacket pocket, and every pocket in my backpack and then finalized it: I don’t have my house keys. They are in the house that is right in front of me. And so it begins.

I walk up to my door and lazily thought: Maybe the door was still open. I try and twist the knob and without any surprise it was locked. So next thing I try and see if the windows were open. Again to no surprise they were all locked. If it wasn’t my parents that checked if the windows were locked, it was me. After that I retreated to my backyard in the case of anyone from the neighborhood thought I was some sort of robber. They suspect anybody since they don’t really know who I am anyway. Most of our neighbors never really talk to us.

Well, anyway as I scurry to the back, I then try the back door. Nothing. Either I’m a really terrible robber or our house has perfect homemade security. Take that real robbers. And ADT.

After that I then place my backpack down and sat on it as I begin to think of more ideas on what to do. I then went to go check to see if I accidently left the garage door open. Sadly it wasn’t. I really hope robbers won’t read this and think I left the door open sometimes. I then sat on my backpack again hoping any police that may drive by won’t suspect anything so I thought there may be places to go so that I can wait for one of my family members to come home. I then thought about the theater since at the time I was working at the movie theater as an usher. I could go watch a crappy movie for the day. Sadly I was out of money for the bus and I wasn’t really in the mood for a crappy movie.

So then another idea came into my head. Sometimes when my next door neighbors go out of town they give us their keys so we can feed their dog for them. And usually when we go out of town our neighbors do the same for our cat or pick up the mail for us. It was only about 5 or 6 years ago I’m sure they must still have a copy of one of our keys!

I then get my backpack and venture to my neighbors house and approach the door. I then think, what if they don’t have any keys. What else was I going to do? So I knock on the door and the lady owner that lives there says hi to me and I say hi back and then things become awkward. So I then tell her how we used to exchange house keys way back and asked if she would happen to have another spare. She politely said no and how she wishes she could have a spare just in case if something were to happen. I don’t really know what those things could be or why she would want to so I didn’t think about it and just said: “I’ll look into it.”

I pretty much didn’t know what to do at this point so a little after I said that, she said well why you come inside for a little while. I didn’t have much else to do and because of how nice of the gesture was I just said “Sure, alright,” and went right inside. I greeted the lady’s husband who was also inside and then was shown towards the TV room as I was allowed to watch TV while I wait for someone with keys to get me back to my house. 

So I flip through with something to watch and explain how the TV wasn’t really set right so with my TV knowledge I explained about aspect ratio. I didn’t get anything through to them so I just told them to leave the settings how they were as I set them and they should be fine. My TV lingo needs some adjustment.

So then I ended up on a channel showing Déjà Vu. Apparently my lady neighbor really liked Denzel Washington movies. She then offered me cookies and I was set. (Interesting cookies as they were Cookies with smores.) Still totally awkward to watch a movie with a neighbor you virtually have little or no conversation with ever though.

The movie was great so far. My neighbor would talk about well things about Denzel Washington between commercials and I would just mostly sit and listen and nod as I ate cookies. I don’t really watch a whole lot of Denzel Washington movies either, but apparently she knew all his movies. The movie had a sci-fi time travel thing in the plot.

After a few hours past by my sister had let me know she was home so I said my goodbyes to my neighbors and told them thank you for letting me intrude and watch a movie for the day and for giving me food as well. I then stole some cookies and went on my way.

I walked over to the house and my sister didn’t even know I was there and saw me walking from the neighbors house and asked: “Were you at the neighbors house?” She really didn’t know, so all I can say was: “Yes, yes I was.”

And that’s how I saw Déjà Vu.
