it has such a perfect ending..

So, she has one night of good sex and all her pain/misery goes away? Just like that?

You know how you throw that old romance over and over in your head? You invent situations, make up responses.. All you think you want is another shot with that person. To see what happens. To see how it makes you feel. Most of us do get that other shot and it never turns out the way we hoped. Each has gone his or her way, has a new life and outlook on things. This is what this movie is about. Letting go of old lovers.

you can’t fix what is broken.

The thing that turned me off from the start was the “Indian slaves” subplot. Brazilian Native Americans were NEVER made slaves. They wouldn’t have it. They would rather die then be forced to work, and a lot of tribes got killed.

There were some Natives working on the rubber, I suppose, but the majority of the rubber collectors were from other parts of Brazil (specially northeast). The work wasn’t fair though. They were treated worse than dogs and were in some kind of debt chain with the rubber masters which worked as some sort of slavery.

Anyways, this piece of history was ignored in the book and it did piss me off since the whole subplot involved freeing the slaves and stuff.

There is a mixture of poetry and magic all around this movie, plus the incrediblely beautiful photography.

“Meet you in Malkovich in one hour”

Clementine: Bye Joel.
Joel: I love you…
Clementine: Meet me.. in Montauk

How can you not love this movie?

Ultraviolence and killing is wrong, wrong, and terribly wrong.

Steven Tyler: I have to tell you guys something. I’m not one of those singers who appear in movies. I made it this far without doing it.

Dogma is one of my favorite movies.
The plot is fresh, the actors are amazing, and you’ll be laughing your ass off the whole movie guaranteed.

Kevin Smith is a genious!
