really good movie

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 2004)

This is one of the better films I've seen in awhile. I guess a lot of reviewers are saying that nothing happens. They are wrong. What occurs is the most important thing of all--two people connect. I guess if you've never had this experience, the experience of "being with someone" and having those memories trump everything, then this movie just wouldn't make any sense to you. Few movies have really shown me that they "get it" like this one does. Alot of "romantic" movies are all about the chase. The chase referring to the chain of events proceeding happily ever after. This movie does away with chase and romance and exposes what a connection is. Is everyone so blind? What they have in this movie is a friendship, an understanding that transcends all else. If you watch movies to be entertained, bang-bang, vroom vroom, maybe this isn't for you. But if you watch movies to feel, to relate to, and to enjoy, this one is perfection.
