Review of 49 Up (2006) by Jason S — 16 May 2009

Not a lot has changed since we last saw our "kids" but we do get to see most of them happy and mostly content with life.

I'm amazed at a few of the people on here that have come out of their shells and pushed past the quiet folks they once were.

We get one back as well. IT was good to see this one pop up again because out of the ones I didn't really like at the beginning he has grown into a nice guy who had more going for him than we may have thought.

We are still missing two guys though and I wish they could have stuck it out.

It's a fascinating look into what people go through as life marches on past them. One of the gentlemen says that he doesn't think the film series achieves anything past a carnal voyeuristic look into some other persons life. That may be true in some people but I think one of the things that can be taken away from this whole thing is that we aren't in control of our lives. That good and bad will happen and we just have to keep going with the knowledge that life goes on. The future is unwritten...
