MY DATE WITH DREW

Last September 19, we watched a documentary film entitled My Date with Drew. Basically, the story is about a guy named Brian Herzlinger who had a huge crush with none other than the famous Hollywood star Drew Barrymore since he was six years old.  Just to give a little overview about Brian, he is a 27 year old aspiring film maker who lives in New Jersey and he has a lifelong dream that he wants to achieve and that is to have a date with Drew but he had a huge problem because it seems that his dream was kind of impossible because Drew Barrymore is Drew Barrymore and he was just an ordinary guy.  He was not even rich or something to finance all the things needed in his journey to convince Drew to go out with him. The only money that he will use or spent for the journey was the prize he won in a game show that costs $1,100 and what’s funny about the game show was the answer in the final question was also Drew Barrymore.  They documented all the things happened to his journey and he was only given 1 month to accomplish everything because he has to surrender or return the camera he just borrowed from Circuit City. He experience a lot of problems through the entire journey but he never lose hope until the very end and then one day everything fall to its places and his lifelong dream eventually happened.

In the documentary we’ve watched we saw that Brian went through some make-over like his hair was cut, he shove off his beard,  he also went to Drew’s derma to remove blackheads, he even hired a personal trainer to lose some fats etc. He did all these things simply because he wanted to look good when he face Drew in person, these are some of the ideologies or the way of thinking of some because for them this is what a clean and handsome man should look. Others might think that this guy was crazy because others might think of Brian as an ambitious man, like what I’ve mentioned above Drew is Drew and he was just an ordinary guy. They are from 2 different worlds but in reality, this can possibly happen.

While watching the documentary I realized how determined Brian was and I admire him for showing his determination just for his lifelong dream come to reality. He still pushed through the journey even if there are many misfortunes he encountered. He did not think what other people might think of him like he is insane or crazy because why would Drew Barrymore be convince to date him, she’s such a busy person but she was kind enough to say yes to Brian. The situation happened only proves that if we really want something then do it, make it fight for it. Don’t lose hope, never lose heart, just do your best to reach for your dream. Be aggressive but also keep in mind that there are still limitations, certain rules to follow and you should know where and when to stop.
