stay
just finished watching stay.
what an amazing movie. first blush impressions provoke me to say things like "this is one of my new favorite movies." does this pass the "michael would buy this so he can rewatch it whenever the mood so strikes him" test? yes, yes it does.
i'm not really in a mood to do my own review now especially since i've read thea's and it says everything i might want to say and more, but much more intelligently. *** warning *** although i've linked it, don't actually read the review until you've watched the movie unless you have absolutely no intention of actually seeing the movie, at which point, why are you reading the review, eh?? bucko??
major spoiler warning!
i love that at the end of the movie there's the intimation that beyond the entire story of the movie up to that point being in ryan gosling's head, there's a sense that maybe what he tapped into wasn't just something that resided solely in his mind, that the threads of reality that he pulled together are real and are tangible to any mind open to it. i refuse to believe they did that bit with ewan mcgregor asking naomi watts to coffee just for some crappy dab of schmaltz at the end of a phenomenal movie that didn't deserve such treatment.
