Take This Waltz (2012)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Admirable film.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This movie is about fake love ... and how you could deceive yourself by love while your actual feeling us love .... And how the passion could be lost in a long term relationship.She had an ordinary life with her husband ... nothing new .... and she met with this handsome man with even a strange job who lived beside her. First she met with him to put something new in her life and put some adventures in her ordinary life.. but step by step her adventure turned into passion and then lust... ( look to the strange and inappropriate request in the restaurant). Of course this helped by the cold emotion of her husband.And he also felt with lust to her ..look to what happened ..when she ran from her husband to his lap .. he sinked first in the juice of pleasure and lust ... but when they felt that the lust was going away.... she brought a woman ... and he brought a man .... to spice things up.... but at the end they reached to the same life .... monotonous ordinary life... even she went to the swing alone...You feel her regret in the movie .. and to lesser extent his regret. Especially when she came back to her first husband and met again with his family... she missed him and the company of his family . And to be a part of his achievements and to find he was working for previously their dreams.Good casting ... with so.e questions about Seth Rogan Michelle Williams was brilliant

Many people do not appreciate dramas like these that portray people as they are, raw, imperfect and perpetually seeking out what's behind door number two. "Life has a gap in it. You don't go crazy trying to fill it." In the case of Take this Waltz, you do. Margot (Michelle Williams) shows us what the possibilities are when the grass isn't greener on the other side, love doesn't fulfill, and what opening the other door can do to your life when the reward isn't greater. Seth Rogan does an exceptional job of not being Seth Rogan. He truly stepped outside of himself for this role and showed more depth as an actor. I genuinely appreciated the film and my only criticism would be Michelle William's unsightly, high school, emo comb over part. The awkwardness between Seth Rogan and Michelle William's character is hysterical and insufferable which makes the film even greater. I love that it is directed and written by Sarah Polley. I can't wait to see what she does next.

The story follows Margot (Michelle Williams) who without doubt loves her husband, Lou (Seth Rogen), and has been married to him for years, one day she meets who turns out to be her new neighbour on a plane Daniel as she gets to know him more she cannot deny her feelings for him.The story focuses on the married couple's relationship and their attempts to reignite a lost spark between them. It's daring for the filmmaker to portray a story about infidelity in love. Many love films portray infidelity as something committed by the antagonist or villain of a film, yet this film seeks to, on a very human level, understand how this can happen in long loving relationships by inviting us into the mind and heart of Margot.A moment in the film that really resonated with me was when she was the most joyful and with Daniel, when they were on the fair ride with the song "Video Killed the Radio Star." By Buggles playing. It's the moment that the film invites the audience to see what's important as they can relate it to a previous sequence where she explains how much the song meant to her and her brother. This emphasized by the end sequence as the song is playing at the end, telling us how important Daniel is her happiness.It's a love story like no other, as it is about loving two people. There is an overall sadness about the marriage and that she wants it so much to work, yet she has love and desire for another man. The husband is portrayed as understanding to her by the end of the film as the have realized their unhappiness.It's a very powerful and enjoyable film that explores the nature of love and relationships.

As you can see the synopsis here is written in only one phrase. The movie lasts for almost two hours. For such a small subject the entire flick is too slow and boring. Yes the action is nice but why show the same scenes again and again? In lack of something else you deliver the same repeated action. Seth Rogen is inappropriate for his role, he looks like a geek who doesn't belong there. The role of the spouse was better acted. Also the part of the lover was again weird, because the guy looks like he is gay. Of course there is some nudity in it but not in a vulgar way so that's good, you don't see this in other movies.I remain to my point that is too long, it could be made easily in 70 or 80 minutes not 120. Give it a chance and I wish you good luck not too fall asleep.
