Freeway
Out of all the movies we've seen in class, I really enjoyed this one the most :). I think the name of the movie suits it perfectly becuase one of the highest points in the movie was when vanessa got stuck on the freeway. And I also saw the title Freeway, as Vanessa's lifestyle was a Freeway in itself. She had a very strong personality with a very innocent face and didnt worry about the consequences and just spoke her mind. The movie compared to the typical story of little red riding hood, adds a fun twist to the story. I like how in the beginning of the Film your introduced with the story of little red riding hood through cartoon images, but almost in a "Adult" cartoon version because little red riding hood had a sexy red corsette versus the innocent little red dress. The part of the movie that reminded me a lot of the original "R.R.H" was @ the end when bob is hiding at her grandmas house and he's dressed as grandma hiding under the covers. I was a little confused in that part because how did Bob know she had escaped from jail and was at her grandmas? I liked the ending how the two investigators just both laughed with her, almost as if they were solving this case with her all along, and that the Truth had come out. I do believe though that Vanessa should have behaved a little better though after she had shot bob because i felt like her shooting the sheriff at the gas station and then the scene where shes a prostitute and demands the guy to go in the trunk just gave her more reason to be in jail, but yet again thats the image the producer wanted to bring out in her.

Well think about Vanessa's violence---isn't it always "practical"? That is motivated by some need, rather than just for its own sake?
