Movie comparison

If someone asked me to list five of my all-time favorite movies, here is what I would say: Oklahoma, Annie, Wizard of Oz, Moulin Rouge and Hoosiers. As you have probably figured out, one of those movies doesn't really belong with the others, but you can thank my dad for that. Anyways, I love musicals...and I really think that I had always wanted my life to be like a musical. Fun, happy, full of life, energy, and music. Sure, I figured that there might be some flying monkeys, a crazy cow-hand or two, maybe a Miss Hannigan or Duke, but overall, I would win the game in the end because my life would be great. In all of those movies, there is a happy ending...well, kind of in Moulin Rouge. I thought my life was that or would be that by now. I had this image of all I wanted out of life and what I should have by the time I was my age. And yet, everything seems to be askew...mixed up...out of control. This is the part in the movie where I just wanna say, "Wake up, Dorothy! It was all just a dream... There is no way that your life is this out of control. " But this is not a dream, and this is the life that I must continue to live out to see what happens in the end... I must wait to see if I do make the game winning shot, get adopted by a millionaire or find true love. I must wait to see what my happy ending is.
