One of the Best Movies
This is one of my favorite movies. It is an almost unknown gem. What can I say ? This is Artistic, and Realistic, and Philosophical about Romance and Love and Life. It is definitely a thinking person's movie. One must pay attention to the dialog and not tune out because there is so much "conversation".
It shows that people who meet and share a special connection with each other share that special connection no matter how long a time may go by - they just magically "click", or connect, in that special way when they are together. It is something to be cherished and nurtured. This movie is for the Romantic, for the person who believes that no matter what may come in life, there is always hope. There are so many basic themes about our experiences in life as human beings that are covered here. The quintessential questions we all face relating to one's meaning and purpose in life and how to live one's life fully are brought to light, but brought up in such a natural and uncontrived way. This movie delves deeply, but doesn't get weighed down in heavy philosophical terms. The background is Paris, France and the feeling is one of peeking in through the keyhole at your best friends discussing their lives and longings. I could Feel their emotions , relate to everything they were saying about their lives, and cheer for them. I felt like they were my alter-ego. The ending is perfect for me...I wouldn't change a thing.
