Don't knock it

Anyone who says closer was crap obviously didn't understand it and should probably look in to watching less challenging movies. I've seen it at least 5 times and every time I find i like it more for different reasons. The conversations are so rich, fast-paced and intense, i think that's probably why i've heard so many complaints, i guess those kinds of people aren't used to having to think in movies. I mean come on am I the only one who read into it? The whole movie was so brutally honest in the way it spoke about sex and lies, love and compromise. It brought everything to the surface, like how we all live with this naive idea that honesty brings people together but in reality it does the opposite. The only couple to stay together did so on a basis of lies, compromise and denial. and most importantly the thing that had never even crossed my mind before closer, the notion of love at first sight. I think most people believe in it yet don't admit it, but anyway what most people don't realize is, that even when you find it, you never stop looking, waiting for it to happen again. Cause that's all it is, an instant connection with a perfect stranger, love of what we don't fully understand. but of course that dissolves, reality sets in and what you know you don't really like in that person. Truth is a bitch. We're only truly close when we're strangers i say. By far one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. The only thing I'm upset about is Clive not winning supporting
