Let's begin this "Film Stuff" thingy with my all time favorite movie. One that I have watched for literally more than 50 times and cried all the same and I am sure that if I watch it again anytime soon, the tears will still be pouring down like crazy.
This is one of the movie that I'd like to encourage all of you film fanatics to watch because this movie shows what real love is. The actuality of love and how fucking hard it is to stay in love. No, it is nothing like The Notebook. That was fucking artificial. The actors captured the moments of falling in and out of love so eloquently that you can't help but be immersed into their happiness and messiness. And most of all, you'll understand the reason why they fell in and out of love and accept it.
The director captured the moments in snapshots which portrays exactly what moments are. A snap in a lifetime. I did a little digging and Doremus (dir.) encouraged improvisation during filming which I think contributed a lot to the film. You can see the genuine process communication and fluidity of the dialogue. Nothing felt like as if it was written. The script does not contain any metaphorical, surrealistic factor, just what two people in a romantic relationship would say to one another. In good days and in bad days.
But I guess what I liked most about this movie is the end. *Spoiler alert*. It shows that two people can end up together if they really want to, but here's the thing, do they really want to? They are just surviving the relationship for the sake of their effort for preserving it. Yeah, in the end, they were together but it was just useless.
