Interesting and peculiar

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2004)

** HERE BE SPOILERS **
During his youth Evan experiences occasional blackouts, mostly during traumatic events. He is urged, as part of his treatment, to keep a journal were he can write all that he does. But the traumatic events that he and his friends experience tear the group and the individuals apart. However, when he is older Evan discovers that, with the help of his old journals, to go back in time, and change his past. However, it is not as easy as he first thinks. Even if his intentions is the best, fate seems to make the new reality bad in one way or another. But if he could go back in time just once again... maybe he can correct things.
A interesting movie where some key moments are left out, at the beginning at least, when the main character blacks out. These defining events that seem to determine what he and his friends become are traumatic and not altogether nice to either see, or guess what happens when we don't get to see. The story is about love, and to make life as good as he can for himself and his friends. Though I thought the movie is somewhat depressing.
The story is nice, and the movie is developing interestingly while filling in and/or redoing the missing pieces in the story. Not action-paced, but there is no dull moment in this movie. It certainly had some peculiarities and might not be for everyone.
7/10
