thought-provoking and heart-warming

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2012)

This movie is oh-so-absolutely perfect. I'm usually a very critical person, but I have no suggestions on how this could have been filmed better.
The two discuss their thoughts on love, life, death, and the future. These ideas, however, are not fully formed and are rather "scattered," which makes it all the more wonderful to watch. The movie gives you the opportunity to imagine events and continue their thoughts yourself. The movie is set in a perfect decade, when technology did not get in the way of daily life. Today, the man and the woman would've exchanged Facebook names and probably would've never spoke to one another again. It's great to see something set in a simpler time, where cellphones and electronics and social media and whatnot do not get in the way of real, face- to-face conversation.
This movie is perfect to watch when you're looking for something to think about, something to make you appreciate the time you are given, or if you just want to watch a great love story. It is thought-provoking and heart-warming, and it leaves you with the opportunity to fill in the blanks of what could be.
SPOILER BELOW (kinda)
Probably what I love so much about it is that it is not a perfect love story. The two do not confess love to one another, rather they express their doubts about love and their future. They do not run away with one another, they do not marry. They say their hasty goodbyes and promise to meet again, to the viewer's delight. It leaves one wondering if their plans work out.
