Parkland real estate owners certainly like watching good movies. In fact, there is now a small group of film buffs that meets once a week in a member’s Parkland luxury home to discuss works of art. Just this week, the Parkland real estate owners film club discussed High Fidelity.
Janet Samson is a business executive with a few homes for sale in Parkland. Hosting this week’s gettogether in one of her gorgeous Parkland homes for sale, she explained the basics to the group.
Parkland real estate owners learned that in 2000, director Stephen Frears cast the multitalented John Cusack as the star in his adaptation of High Fidelity, a 1995 English novel of the same name by Nick Hornby. The screen version includes big names, such as Tim Robbins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, a seductive Lisa Bonet, the star’s sister, Joan Cusack.
Parkland real estate owners learned that High Fidelity introduces funny man Jack Black as an employee of a used record store in Chicago. Black portrays a sales clerk, Barry, an overweight, insensitive and unappreciated scholar of the industry who steals the spotlight in every scene he is cast. Parkland real estate owners laughed at his character from singing Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.”
Janet taught the other Parkland real estate owners that most of the film takes place in Championship Vinyl, the retail shop that Rob Gordon owns, played by Cusack. He was recently dumped by the beautiful Laura, and he talks straight to the camera about it throughout the entire flick. Parkland real estate owners love how the character compares everything to a record.
Always one to create Top 5 lists, Rob pieces together his five most heartbreaking and humiliating breakups. A few Parkland real estate owners could relate to each piece of vinyl in his massive collection being rearranged into autobiographical order. Rob soon begins to ponder what happened to each woman and why exactly she left him. He also realizes that his personal relationships haven’t changed since he was 1 years old.
One Parkland real estate owner says that Rob’s lucid dream dialogue with Bruce Springsteen in his favorite part. The Boss’s cameo gets Rob to discover that none of his former flames are how he imagined them. Each girl was a surprising disappointment to his memory.
Narrative flashbacks and monologs show Parkland real estate owners what Rob and Laura’s relationship was like. But these days, she has a new mate, Ian, genuinely cast to Tim Robbins. The protagonist stoops so low as to lurk outside the new caller’s apartment waiting for her. While the interactions between the two men are humorous, the conflict invariably drives Laura farther away from Rob.
It all winds down with a happy ending; Rob accepting his role in a relationship, questioning marriage, and begging to make a new mix-tape for Laura, a subtle art that he has conquered through his years. The top-notch High Fidelity soundtrack includes cuts from the Kinks, the Velvet Underground, Dylan and Stevie Wonder. Whichever Parkland real estate owners that didn’t own High Fidelity, have already added it to the Christmas lists.
