So the amazing thing about long-distance flights is that you can sit there and watch your movies forever...
IF (that is a big if) all the movies are alright and your seats are comfortable and no one is bugging the heck out of you.
Well given the circumstances on this flight from Incheon to Chicago...
- I was sitting in an emergency seat = lotsssssss of leg space
-the plane was a 747 = its big, its new and everyone has their own screen!
-I was full and kinda drowsy
-the person next to me slept the entire time
so... after watching
Ironman (good, easy on the brains type of movie)
What happens in Vegas( Horrible crappy never-meant anything type romantic comedy)
I got to watch this:
At first, I thought it was just another romantic movie:
-nice guy
-nice girl
-something happened
-they find their love again
-everybody's happy
WRONG>>
I found many things to be Non-typical romantic movies
It is a story set out for a daddy telling her young daughter about his love life, after she got intrigued with the concept of love through her sex education in school. (Funny start)
First, the setting is in New York... yes like all other movies, but in the gists and lovely places that people tend to forget to visit.... A nice pizza place in Brooklyn, strolling in central park, roof of an old apartment, an old liquor store .... so on and so on.
the camera angles make it much better
Second, the casting is amazing.
Ryan Reynolds, with his crazy long legs pulls the next-to-will-smith New Yorker look quite amazingly
Isla Fisher, pulls off the hyppie,free, lifestyle with her charm and just suits perfectly.
Rachel Weisz, is all but beautifully seductive
Abigail Breslin, is... a cute daughter who tries to guess who her mother is...
Third, the story lines are constructed to arouse a genuine empathy with the viewers.... How the moments are important in meeting your loved ones... This part... you just gotta watch it to understand.
And finally, I liked the part when Reynolds was working crazy for the elections and his commitment to his long-d girlfriend. It was pretty touching and genuine
interesting part:
-the girl is extremely mature in accepting that her dad's LOVE does not necessarily has to be her MOTHER... meaning she really don't care who her dad's real lover is unless he is happy - pretty hard fact for a young person to accept
-Rachel Weisz comes out as a wicked girl, who if played by another actor would have made her look gothic or sick to some extent. But she is still lovely
-Isla Fisher still has that crazy tractless girl feel to her in her acting from the Wedding Crashers. But she looks great in her hyppie style.
