just a simple story about unrequited "love"

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2010)

I put love in parentheses because we are told from the beginning that this is not a story about love and by the end we see the hero probably was more in infatuation then love.
I'm kind of disturbed by some of the negative reviews of this movie and have to clarify some things about this gem.
This movie doesn't advertise itself as having some astronomically important message about love, it doesn't create larger then life characters with dialog that reads like it could have come straight from David Copperfield. No, this movie is a simple relation of a life experience I imagine we all go through, that of falling so madly in "love" with someone we lose reality and can't see the glaring signs of destruction ahead and those equally opposing bitter feelings when reality comes crashing in when we realize that person we are obsessed with isn't obsessed back.
If you are looking to have your mind blown away and a new perspective plopped right into it, this probably isn't the film for you. If you want to see a stage of human life related on the big screen with realistic characters with realistic inadequacies I recommend this movie without a doubt.
