Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Again, there is a movie I find it difficult to talk about. The reason for it is pretty explainable: Recently, I tend to watch movies that I am watching for a reason and with rather clear expectations, not just only for the sake of it: Dangerous liaisons, Butterfly Effect, this one. Obviously most movies don’t met my expectations – they’re not better nor worse, just different from what I would expect. I can’t say “I liked this movie” nor “I dislike it”.
I feel so sorry for Stan. I actually also liked Mary and don’t quite understand why Pochi dislikes her character. She’s just a poor girl and Kirsten Dunst played her pretty well, really. Of course she doesn’t have any deep and interesting character traits, but she’s great as the cute, desperate side character. I’m still not sure whether I want to see Elizabethtown though. Actually I don’t.
About 20 minutes before the end, I started watching the movie from the beginning and noticed how clearer everything was to me again – and how beautiful the first part seemed to me, compared to the middle and the end of the movie which I actually found less interesting.
Okay, I’ll be honest: After reading this insightful post, I felt like no matter what I do, I won’t be able to write anything as good anyways. So why should I even try? And now I want to watch Shortbus too XD
i never knew of the el cielo connection until milkmaster mentioned it…it sounds…fun *_*
and the scenes at the beach were really pretty, too. but yeah, I wasn’t paying full attention anymore once the dream sequences started dominating XD
hahaha, i’m glad I didn’t put you off Shortbus with all my blathering ^^`
Actually I don’t believe in the synchronization – but if it were true, that’d be absolutely great of course. It’s a cool concept and it’s a pity that it seems to be a stupid rumor.
No, I still think Shortbus is interesting – but honestly, I’m wondering what I will think about all the sex scenes. Especially since I am aware that my, hm, opinion of sex has changed over the years.
