We can remember it for you wholesale (dvd)

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2011)

This movie has flavor of this excellent story of my favorite writer, PKD, in the sense that we can't distinguish the reality from the imagination. We can also find the same idea to buy memories and have the tech support to come to help. In addition, the multiple ideal lover is a thematic very Dickien as well.
This part gives breath to a movie that was rather a bit dull and dragging: the new Quasimodo life of a rich, egoist playboy is laughable: if the biggest challenge he has to face now is to go out and his biggest fear is that his lover would reject his disfigured, well, he knows nothing about life or love as well. As Penelope says, he really has to "abre los oyos".
Maybe he deserves his fate after having "stolen" the friend of his best friend. But as i done that myself, i think that no red line is crossed because it's among friends not married couples. Moreover, loves needs courage and implies a connection that needs two people to exist, (except maybe in this movie).
This fourth aspect of the movie, love, touched me a lot: This movie was simply the one that gets me into following Penelope's filmography: i remember to have just been struck by the trailer, with her cute accent, her smile, the slam of the door and the song. I always thought it was McCartney but i was surprised to learn that it's actually from his rival, Peter Gabriel and it's called "Solsburry Hill". For me, this "electrical meeting" ranks among the best scene of that kind in movies: the only other examples that come to my mind is "Lost Highway" with "Magic Moment" (that is a bit alike) or "Bluest eyes of Texas" in "Boys don't cry". Well, Penelope did such a great performance that she has added at least one more fan with this movie.
Actually, I know that this movie is a remake of a Spanish film and as it stars luckily Penelope, i will meet you tomorrow after watching it ! See you ...
