Ok, so I went to this movie because I saw Elijah Wood promoting it on Conan O' Brien, but I still had no idea as to what it was about...I just knew that Elijah Wood was in it. My gosh, he's soooooo hot! Ummm...anyhoo...
I loved this movie! It will be a part of my library. If I were to classify this movie, it would be an srtistic romantic comedic drama...type thingy.
If you look at the cast, it's kind of an odd combo of actors. They're already talking about an Oscar nom for Jim Carrey. I fully agree!
The movie starts out at the end. That's right! It took me about 20 minutes to catch on to what the hell was happening. So when you watch it, and you're confused, don't be discouraged. Keep trucking along! It starts out at the end, goes back to the begininning, and then works its way up to the opening scene...which was in fact the end...just watch it!
The basic breakdown: Joel (Carrey) decided to have "Tangerine" (Winslet" erased from his memory. Frist the most recent memories (the bad one) are erased, but as he travels back to better memories, he decides that maybe this wasn't such a good idea, and he attempts to hide her in other memories. And Patrick (the hooooooooooooooooooot Elijah Wood) is a weird kinda stalker guy that is trying to win the heart of "Tangerine". It's ok. It's just acting!
Very awesome film! A must see! |
