ahhh... the memories

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2003)

I just watched this movie this afternoon after flipping channels and stumbling on it. I became so engrossed in it as I was watching that I completely tuned everything else out. I read some of the other comments posted about it, and yeah, I can see your point if you didn't enjoy it or find it believable. It's not a movie that was made for everyone. But oh, it was definitely made for me!
Last summer I actually had a frightfully similar experience while in Europe. I was in Paris and made a surreal connection with a Parisian named Seb one night, knowing I would be leaving him and our amazing connection behind. So, can it happen? Yes. Does it often? No. And that, my friends, is why we become so riveted and pricked in the heart and mind while watching this movie. Whether you have had an experience close to this or not, it still can strike a cord in all of us. We all long for personal connections. Even if you do not believe in love at first sight or chance occurrences that impact us forever, a 'what-if?' and 'maybe...' are always present.
So take it or leave it, just realize that this movie was made for some of us more than others. I just wish I had it back in high school and could have used it in my Forensics or Drama class. Would have been a perfect intellectual, witty dialogue to use.
