Through My Window: Movies about Writing

Sorry. Can’t give details about this one. My mother sometimes reads this blog.

What I can say is that Raquel has a huge crush on her rich neighbor Ares - so huge that she basically writes fan fiction about him all the time. He hacks into her computer and reads some of what she writes. You’d think she’d be embarrassed, but basically states she only wants to be a part of his life if he’s all in. Insert lots of typical “wealthy family objects to poor girlfriend” drama mixed with commitment issues and you’ve pretty much got this movie (yes, I’m skipping over the many - ahem - intimate moments).

When it comes to her writing, Raquel is not 100% confident about allowing others to read it, believing that her father’s excellent novel failed when he attempted to get a publisher. Ares keeps telling her that she has talent (even though her topic always seems to be their relationship), however she’s convinced that if her dad couldn’t get published, then neither could she. Eventually, her mother tells her that her father was never rejected because he was too afraid to ever try. In the end, Raquel turns her year of dating Ares into a book that people applaud at a reading. So whether or not the couple stays together - at least she got a good story out of it.
