Sick of cliché romantic movies?
This one is a fresh, hard-hitting, yet beautiful movie. I have seen it twice already, all the while wondering why its rating is not above 8 on IMDb. It is a contemporary story of a married couple, switching back and forth, from the past where they fall in love to the present where their marriage is falling to pieces. What is different about this movie? It is not something which can be penned down (at least, it won't be an easy thing to do), the beauty lies in the excellent acting, soundtrack, cinematography and dialogs of the movie.
It is heartbreaking, but it is so ordinary. Love, so overrated by the infinite romantic movies there are, is made more human, less surreal. I cried almost throughout the movie the first time I saw it.
Do watch.
My favorite parts -
Dean: I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married we marry, like, one girl, 'cause we're resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think I'd be an idiot if I didn't marry this girl she's so great. But it seems like girls get to a place where they just kinda pick the best option... 'Oh he's got a good job.' I mean they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they marry the guy who's got a good job and is gonna stick around.
When Dean plays the song 'You and me' first time in Cindy's room, and later when they slow-dance to it.
The song -
If the stars don't shine if the moon wont rise,
If I've ever seen a city summon again.
You wont hear me cry, this I testify.
Please believe me boy you know I wont lie.
As long as there is,
You and Me
No body baby but you and me,
You and Me
Nobody baby but you and me.
If you love a soul more then fame and gold.
And that soul feels the same about you.
Its a natural fact, there is not turning back.
And here is some advise to you,
You got to say is,
You and me
No body baby but you and me,
You and Me
No body baby but you and me.
Sweet love is real, you don't have to show it.
Breathing is true, to everyone who knows cause there be no one but,
You and Me,
No body baby but you and me,
You and Me
Nobody baby but you and me.
