Getting Pictures Developed – One Hour Photo
I’m a firm believer that One Hour Photo is a large part of the reason why digital cameras are thriving. Sure, you can see the picture right away and the storage is way better and cheaper than a roll of film, but there’s also the whole thing where you’re not going to have a creepy old man think he’s part of your family.
This film is the single reason that I have a completely used roll of film sitting in a drawer in my house – and it’s going to stay there. Forever. I just know that if I take the risk and try to get it developed I’ll end up with an old man thinking he’s my uncle and creeping into my house at night.
One Hour Photo was definitely made scarier by Robin Williams’ haunting performance. It slightly scarred me when it comes to his other movies as well. No more thinking that he’s the awesome dad from Mrs. Doubtfire or the voice of Aladin’s pal. But still, the worst thing this movie did to me is make me fear what the developers do with my pictures. I mean they look at every single picture, who knows what they think about what they see. It’s a thought that never crossed my mind until I saw One Hour Photo.
And yes, I went digital the day after watching One Hour Photo for the first time.
