I'm sure it's a good movie if you like that genre...but I've never really been able to get into war movies. It's a very relevant story about a part of history which i never knew about... However I'm a bit of a phillistine when it comes to history and i just couldn't get into it, i didn't find any of the characters resonated... but thats just me I'm not always the most empathetic person.... sorry

..that’s totally cool and the good thing with the club...it’s easy to dip in and out only with the ones that appeal to us as well and there will be so much variation... I love true stories and people/human stories ...

I'm not usually a fan of war movies either but I do like these type ones of human survival and what people can do when they have to

It was much more surreal than I remember but also quite realistic in terms of relationships in that most finish on bad terms and we would love to forget them but then later on we remember the good times. The interesting question though is would we do them the same as strangers armed with the information of what went wrong in the first place? Very thought provoking...
I also had forgotten the relationships between the people that worked for Lacuna which were good subplots..especially the guy trying to seduce Clementine with Joels words...

I would love to have seen a bit more of the start of the relationship and how Joel finished it with Naomi as its sounds like there was an overlap

...apparently there were some scenes which were deleted that gave more insight into Joel’s relationship with Naomi because it would have changed how we saw him ...in that there could have been an overlap, as you say, Bollo...when he and Clementine first met and he appeared awkward/shy, the suggestion is that it could equally have been guilt, rather than shyness...I hadn’t actually picked up on that...(...I googled whether there was an overlap...:laugh:...so that was very perceptive of you...the unedited scene(s) might be viewable online, I’m not sure...

...Elijah Wood’s character, Patrick..?...was such a creep, taking her underwear when the erasing was being done and basically ‘stealing’ Joel’s memories..it was obviously all about Joel and Clementine but how many females had he done that with...?...and obviously Howard was such a creep as well, to feel that something like that and how vulnerable someone would be etc in that situation...would be abused in such a way...it’s just shuddering....

...yeah, I guess it would be interesting to think, would we go back to a relationship because of the good times...?...and I guess that would always vary, depending on the reasons for it ending and whether a different outcome could ever be possible...I need to think about that more...:laugh:..

...yeah, Christian Bale is excellent in the part and such a convincing ‘psycho’....I guess for me, GoldHeart ...?...because there was so much that I couldn’t watch with the violence, it also meant I missed so much of that dark comedy as well...I did catch it in a few places but I just felt so tense throughout that everyone he met, he would slaughter and sadly I couldn’t get beyond that...but I know that’s just a personal thing for me...

This one confused me more than Memento and Eternal Sunshine :laugh2: wtf? Did he actually kill anyone or is he just completely insane and imagined it all? Anyway, hhhmmm I didn't like it very much. It was a very cold kind of a film, none of the characters were likable in anyway especially Patrick (I know you're not supposed to like him) but yeah, not a fan of this one at all
