A waste of time.

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2016)

It took me 3 years to decide I wanted to give this a try. 3 wasted years where I did not watch this beautiful movie. What a waste of time :) But better late than never.
I liked this movie because it is honest but not boring. Many films which are spectacular are not honest, they want to be cool and miss the point. Many films which are honest are a bit boring and a bit pretentious in their "important" message. This film has got a nice balance. It did not shake my LIFE from the grounding, but this may be because I am becoming old and more balanced. What this film did, was coming at the right moment, when I am learning not to zone-out. Yes I am one of those "open eye dreamers". Not as extreme as Walter, but, still there. So, there is a moment in the mountain with Sean talking of here and now. It is a very known concept (and yes, I still have to read Eckhart). Normally I hate when people talk of this, because they mostly do it in a very new age, sentimental way. Maybe it was just the right moment, maybe it was the film, but the message arrived. As said, it did not change my life. I did not book a ticket to India of dated the girl of the next door. I did not wash the dishes, cleaned the mess of my apartment, studied or did any of the things I procrastinate since a while. But I feel it arrived.
The film is nice anyway and even if you do not care about here and now and such bla bla, I doubt you or anybody with a little brain and a little heart may not like it.
Give it a try.
