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.
i like this kind of movie. a movie that tells a story, because a movie is not about showing events like power point slides. and i watched like a bystander how two poor souls yearned for love, found it, lived it, only to lose it.
how do you lose the connection you once had? or thought you had? was it just a dream? the film is surreal, the only reality is now, the eventual break up. but the past, the sweet young things they once were - even to them it sounded like a dream, fleeting to be true.
i read reviews offering explanations for the disaster waiting to happen, how different they were, how unambitious and a simple guy he is, how she resents being denied of her dreams for a marriage and the child she didn't plan to have, the endless hows. i am only sorry for one thing by the time the curtain drew to a close - how they didn't try harder, and chose to give up.
top notched acting by michelle williams and ryan gosling. this guy is definitely filling bigger shoes, a long way from the scrawny wannabe i saw in hercules (1999).
