A little late this time since I visited some family this afternoon (we celebrate Mother's Day today), but this is the place to discuss Donne-moi la main/Give Me Your Hand! :)

I liked the movie, but I could totally see why other people wouldn't. Especially since it's vague and weird and slow and not much happens. Besides the sex. Hahahaa, Aline, you didn't appreciate the sex? BUT THEY ARE HOT SO WHY WOULDN'T THEY BE HAVING SEX CONSTANTLY? XD No, but you're right: it is weird when you think about it. When I watched it, it wasn't something that really made me go UMWOT? Except for one time. IMO the whole thing with the girl at the gas station giving a coffee and then getting in the back of a van and going "Oh! There's a matrass = let's have sex!" just made me go O.0 The whole thing with the lady in the mountains didn't even seem that weird to me afterwards (I don't know what that says about me).

I usually noticed who was who by their hair :D

I think you have a point about the animation in the beginning. It did seem like an easy way out to show something so dangerous. But on the other hand ... I think it tied in with the drawings pretty well. (There was a drawing that did resemble the animation, right?) Also, I think it kind of gave the boys this superhero quality. I mean, I think that might be how they see themselves too? A bit at least. IDK. The animated bit gave the movie this boyish quality for me and just emphasized how this was their grand adventure or something? IDK, that's just my take on it.

LINK ME TO THE SONG, PLEASE.

Epic song HERE

It's funny you'd say that because I usually really like vague and slow movies IDEK XDD (I'm a big fan of Elephant for example!)

My biggest turn off really was the unrealistic frequency they kept getting laid, (am I ill or something? XD) It's a stupid thing to focus on (I know D:) because there were a lot of other beautiful parts in the movie. I liked the way Quentin (I think? XD) held on to Antoine's shirt, I thought the scene in the bathroom stall was really heart breaking and just beautiful in a way. I thought the ending was really good too. I was a bit surprised that the movie only lasted about an hour, which is a bit short imo XDD

ALSO: Bonnie and Clyde was on tv today! :))

Elephant was such a strong movie, but I'm pretty sure I will never ever watch it again.

am I ill or something? XD
Yes, I am getting worried about you, Aline ;D

The shirt holding definitely was one of my favourite bits! And I too was surprised it didn't last longer ...

Yes, I saw B&C was on!! :D Heh, what a coincidence.
