Wonderful Movie
Simply Perfect
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
08/06/2018 Glad it's over. A mish mash bunch of unconnected segments. Rave reviews? Why? Mundane entertainment that fails.
I've seen this film about 2/3 times already and I love it! - I think I may even watch it again now! Both the characters and the story itself is just fantastic! I definitely have to say that the action scene in this in the subway is one of my favourite scenes in the movie due to the pace, score and acting. Although a romance and drama the film does have its comedic moments. Also don't forget the amazing soundtracks! Shia LaBeoufs acting is great and suits his character in the film. Personally I'm a big fan of his so this may sway my opinion of the film to a 10/10. Overall I'd give the film a 10/10 for its theme, story, acting, score, cinematography and lighting. The pinky lighting at the end was very effective and pretty for sure!
I'm just going to point out that there is literally no reason to listen to the bad critics because this movie Is just fantastic.The mix between the action/drama and slight romance in the film makes it fantastic. There are slight errors in the film but nothing you would pick up on unless you were looking for the bad points of this film. Great acting, great cast and great story line which is very compelling to anyone. It's definitely worth a watch if you like these types of genre's in my eyes there is no film that has done it this well.(Don't rate the film on the fact that there are actors you don't like in it)
It's a comedy with a clear theme which is about love and romance, though the content is not very concrete, but if you can view it in a way which is kind of like surrealism, you'll find it totally worthwhile to watch. Actually, we are all like Charlie, when something bad happens, we try to escape from it, sometimes we buy drinks to numb our brains, sometimes we run away from the life that we are familiar with, we travel abroad, far, far away to experience a different world and life-style. I think people do that mostly because when we travel abroad we can find that compare to the rest of the world, how small individuals,as we are, in the whole wild world are. And when we meet new people from different culture with different stories, we find that none of our problem and sorrow is alone in the world, we can somehow relate to other people. Anyway, it's a good film made in a artistic style, abstract in content but brilliantly delivered its message about the theme, lost and love. Plus, with LaBeouf and Mikkelsen in the film, why not?
