Really enjoyed it...but I don't buy it

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2003)

I found the thoughts brought up in this movie fascinating. The screenwriter obviously put a lot of thought into philosophical issues and many of the characters' thought, were ones that he had had. In this sense the movie was so true. It was also true in the way it was executed. The way the actors spoke to eachother was relaxed and realistic - true to life. I just felt that in real life people, whether they be twenty three or seventy three, don't go around spewing all of the deep thoughts they have had to random people on the train and if they do, that isn't all they talk about! I really loved the ideas the characters had and they made me think, but I don't buy the fact that these characters had that many thoughts of their own. And if two people spent twenty four consecutive hours only discussing the meaning of the world and the like, they would be mentally exausted! Their pseudo-intellectual comments became eccessive at times. But this is not to say that I didn't enjoy the film. It was very beautiful in its simplicity and a joy to watch.
