If you're looking for a movie, this movie is a good one if you're looking for something that feels true and easy to relate to. I really wish Ryan Gosling would quit trying to look like a 70's porn star. He's hot! But, that's just my opinion. Anyway, this movie hit close to home for a number of reasons. And, if you look to the left, I found it for you cheaper than you can get it at most any place. It's worth every bit of the $3.99, for sure. Plus, you could rent this movie, but when you can own it for just a couple bucks more, I'd go the route of purchasing it.
It's a movie that follows a married couple. Their love has kind of run shallow. They both have resentment towards each other. The story does flashbacks of how they first met and what was going on prior to. There were parts of the movie that I couldn't relate to on a personal level, but it was real enough to believe that some people could relate. I've never had an abortion, and I've never had 25 sex partners. That was a little off for me. But, in terms of the way she feels about her husband, I felt I could relate to Michelle Williams. I've been there. I'm sure many women have. But, I can't figure out why she's so resistant to him. As the story shows, he's a pretty good guy. He does a lot for her that could've only been done if he really loved her. So, I don't know how one builds so much resistance to someone who, seemingly, gives so much of himself. He's a good dad to the little girl. He's a goofball, and he needs a better job. But, when she gets on his case about that, I love his reply.
Anyway, this story is a very real life type of movie. It shows how 2 people that were so much in love can become. The ending was sad, because it's just so true. It wasn't spoon fed to the viewer in terms of what you expect. But, this movie seems to be a very fair and adequate representation of what our society has become for married people. Her life, prior to him, is probably more to blame than anything. How do you know love if you rarely see it? It's a good movie, anyway. I'm glad I watched it and I hope you'll check it out and let me know what you think. Be warned, there are sexual scenes that are not fitting for the kids to see. It's a little more than the movies typically put up for us to see. There is also little to now warning, so this one is best to watch without the kids. I hopeyou enjoy the movie. Let me know what you think!
