Hilariously dark

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2012)

I found this movie to be amazing. Although at times the plot was rather unrealistic, the intense performance of the lead roles more than made up for it. The camera work in the film is beautifully done and you can tell that every little angle or tint or shot was shrewdly calculated and planned and placed there in such a way that the aesthetic experience of the movie was as amazing as possible. On top of the brilliant acting and beautiful unmatched cinematography the soundtrack was beautifully done. Simon and garfunkel provide the perfect peaceful backdrop to the turmoil of the story and all of the mezsed up details behind the characters personal relationships. My favorite use of sound was in the scene where his car us running out of gas and the music slows along with the car. I also found it brilliant that the characters did not make eye contact at the end. It goes to show that the hasty decisions of youth don't always end foe the best but the ride is always worth the toil.
