I just watched the movie not 3 hours ago. Now that it's over all I have to say is that the movie was... AMAZING!!!!! Brilliant in fact!!!! I was skeptical at first...I wasn't sure what the movie was about or whether other people thought it was worth a watch. But when he had his first trip into the past... I was hooked!!! The movie overall was stellar... I love the way the film incorporated all the amazing writers and painters of that time. What really got me was how the clothes and the setting and the the atmosphere stayed to true to the '20's and the style of the times. I costumes really got me and made me believe that film was actually and truly taking me back to the 20's in France. The reason I wouldn't give it a 10 out of 10 is because of the transition between the old times and the new. The transition between the new and the old was obvious and smooth with the use of the car, but the other way was to blunt and strange. He would finish the night then just flip right back to normal by having him be in his room and up and talking. To me it seemed blunt and strange and not as smooth a transition and the other way. But overall, the movie was awesome, and I'll be really surprised if the film isn't nominated for any awards at all. Good Job to all the awesome actors. When I saw Owen Wilson, I wasn't sure he'd be able to preform his part quite well (judging by the first few minutes or so), but as the film went on the developed the character nicely and did a good job. The ending was indeed strange, but it makes sense. The ending I would have chosen would have made no sense but it would have made me feel like the film was actually coming to an end. When this one ended I didn't feel the completeness that one should when watching a film. But in this case it was satisfactory, and cheesy (which was appropriate)!!! Love the film though, even though I might be biased just because I speak french!!!!
