Like Crazy

I just watched it. The ending was so abrupt. It's realistic and not corny like other romance films which I like, but they need to grow up and start talking more and stop sleeping with other people if they want to make it work = =. I found that part kind of annoying.

I found that annoying too! It was ironic that Anna had a "patience" bracelet but patience was the one thing they did not have! They screwed everything up. It was kinda sad.

(I couldn't resist, and when I saw the link posted Frank and I watched it last night. He was equally annoyed haha)

I thought they were a little immature with their relationship.*SPOILER* I just think that if they wanted to truly make it work they wouldn't have started seeing other people. It sucked for the two who were lead on and abruptly dumped as well, I felt bad for them. I think the end scene was them thinking back to the happy times they shared and realising that the dynamic of their relationship is so different now, that they just don't feel the same for each other after everything they put each other through.

But yeah. I don't think it was very realistic to be honest. If they wanted to keep in touch they could have used skype, and called each other on their phones more often, instead of just completely forgetting about the other person while they weren't there. A bit dumb IMO... although I did cry in the beginning when they were all happy because it reminded me of my relationship ;___;

To me, the only thing they got right when it came to entertainment, was the montage they had in the beginning.

Thanks so much for sharing! No theaters in my area had this movie and I've been dying to see it!

This.

SPOILER:

For me, what I missed the most in the film was the growth/development of the relationship beyond the ending scene. :/ It was easy enough for me to follow, but it was difficult for me to understand why a) their communication never once improved, not even after they were married and b) they continued to sleep with other people even after it had been determined that that did a significant amount of damage to their relationship. To me, the very heart/core of the plot is the characters. I feel that this movie had a plot and I will say I can appreciate the way it was done (on some level; on another, I found it quite amateur, such as a repetitive use of very lengthy montages/what looked like stop-motion that, in my opinion, would have made a more powerful/artistic effect had they not used it what felt like every other scene... I loved the one of her couple months overstay, though! The variety of sleeping positions), and I'll venture so far as to say I could even forgive the lack of chemistry between the leads, but I thought that character development fell short. Neither of them learned, grew, or really worked to fix what went wrong in their relationship, and though I'm one who loves a less-than-happily-ever-after ending, what frustrated me so much about this ending was that they more or less destroyed their relationship themselves. I didn't feel it was down to the circumstances at all, which the movie/characters seemed to tout, but rather down to how they handled those circumstances.

That being said, I did like the movie. I liked the music, the plot, and most of the way it was shot, even if it did get tedious at times. I simply think it was too easy to relate to the "wrong" characters (the ones who were "placeholders," more or less, and then dumped once things were sorted and then dumped yet again) and that there was no growth or development to the main characters, which led to them falling flat in my book. To me, this movie came off as being much more about the plot and being aesthetically pleasing/artistic than it did about the actual characters, and plot has never solely done it for me.

I was a little disappointed, some parts were sad and made me want to cry. A lot of the movie in my opinion just gave LDRs a bad name, we don't all go around sleeping and kissing random people all the time, it frustrated me to see that so often in the movie.

[Haley53]

Am I the only one who was also annoyed by the lady lead? o.o To me, she came off as manipulative and hypocritical, though being honest, he came off to me as sulky and unstable. The only way I could really relate to their relationship was through the unhealthy one I had with my ex... ? In which he was her and I, embarrassingly enough, was him.

Here a better version of the movie: same same but different. but the german part is without subtitles!

Just watched it! Good movie for the most part

[weetzie]

I wanted to see that but my SO said it wasn't very good. I just went to watch it now at work but I realized I left my headphones at home. Thank you for bringing up that website, though. I joined it and hope to watch a lot of different movies on there that I can't get on Netflix!

[Sunbeam]

I finally watched the movie. It was alright. I could understand a lot of the frustration that the characters experienced.
But the ending pissed me off.
