Loving Annabelle : What's up with the smoking ?

.
Fun With Movies : I can't believe she's smoking !
.
After watching the fascinating movie Loving Annabelle (2006), two questions kept popping up :

1. The most evident one:
Why didn't they just lock the door? ;-)

2. The 'inspiration for this video' one :
Why is Annabelle smoking so prominently ?
Do people today still associate it with rebelliousness, or is it just a cheap way for an actor to keep himself busy on camera?

All controversy aside, I love the beautiful imagery ;-)

Enjoy!

(This is my first video, so pls overlook the imperfections)

No clue why all the smoking is in the movie, but they say that when people smoke in social situations, they are sort of hiding behind a wall and seperating themselves from connecting with other people (remember the ending of the movie "200 Cigarettes", but on the other hand in both of those movies, they're actually bonding. Something to think about.

Hey, thanx for commenting ;-)

Funny, yes ... in Loving Annabelle ... the scene where Annabelle and Simone are smoking together, is the one where Simone let's her guards down for the first time and lets Annabelle come a closer ... so smoking alone might be about separation, geting someone to join you might just be the opposite ;-)

ans. to #1: there are no locked doors inside/only the outside--it's a catholic thing. #2: no idea.

Hey ... thanx for answering my question ;-)

Wow ... is that so ... no locks at all in a catholic boarding school ? Not even for the teachers ??

Weird !! ;-)

Humour, creativity, and a great choice of song (never heard that side of K's choice..) .... bravo!

Well if you like this one (which was my first attempt), you'd better keep an eye on my channel, cuz I will be uploading a new LA one soon ;-)

And I don't mean to brag, but I think I have raised my standards a bit ;-P

If you think this girl is new to smoking then you really don't have a clue lol this girl has been smoking for years just look at her style that is not novice smoking it takes a long time for a smoker to perform snap inhales and her exhales are too perfect for a novice but a lot of actresses lie about how long they have smoked but their style tells us the true story.

who cares if she smokes, she is so good looking and looks hot smoking too i might add.

@DJLunasf the reason for all the smoking in the movie is cos big tobacco pays producers to keep smoking in movies to keep it cool for the next generation of kiddies as other forms of advertising are band, no better form of advertising.

@EASTENDGLEN When hot girls smoke, hell yes. Guys smoking, nope, just annoying.

@asherz0 Erin was not a smoker when she started working on the movie, but by the time it was over she was.

^_^

So that's why she might seem a little uncertain; I still think she comes off as megahot and impossibly sexy.

[asherz0]

hahaa i like the video. i thought the smoking looked really unnatural and forced like the actress was trying way too hard to play cool. odd thing is i think erin kelly might be a smoker in real life so not sure why the smoking looked so stiff on film...heh. love your ending by the way! my question to add to your two is: i get that the storm knocked the alarm clocks out, but how did everybody else wake up and arrive at breakfast on time? there's so many holes in this movie but it'sstillenjoyable

BECAUSE SMOKING IS SEXY

Whew, I went to Catholic School 1st - 8th grade. I wish it was as open-minded as this movie as I'm sure they incorporated it to be.

I loved this movie cause the priest and the students stood by the lesbian community.

Some see it as a sin. I'm just glad that this movie can overcome religion or biased bs. :)

Maybe after the whole stigma subsides, we can actually produce some higher quality lesbian movies not regulated towards a straight audience.
