Closing the space in my heart
I'm only going to write about Imagine Me & You for now. I'll write about the other films soon too. Out of all of the Matthew Goode films I've seen (besides Watchmen), IM&Y is my favorite. Not only is he adorable as Hector, he breaks my heart every time I watch his scene on the roof with Boo Jackson. Adding the little girl character in the film and making her such a good friend for Hector was a great move. She was so cute and she breaks my heart in that roof scene too. This is a romantic comedy, and I laughed a lot during it, but my heart just breaks for Hector. The movie is great at making you feel bad for him. And not only because it's Matthew, but because the writing was great. Poor Hector... going from "It's my fault that we haven't had sex lately." to "Shit my wife cheated on me." to "It wouldn't have been so bad if she stayed with me out of guilt, right?" The writing (and Matthew) did a good job at starting Hector out as a goofball and then slowly bringing in the sadness. And then at the end they bring back the goofiness :) He's going to be fine :)
Even so, this video still breaks my heart. The song is perfect for Hector and his situation.
Besides that, I thought the movie was adorable. The only thing that bothered me was Rachel kept thinking about and researching love at first sight, etc, but she was married. She shouldn't have cared. But yeah, she's in love, blah blah blah. You can't help it. :) The girl who played Luce looked like Kiera Knightley sometimes. Not that that's a bad thing :) I was excited that Anthony Head was in this movie too, but I didn't pay any attention to his character :( I'll be watching the movie again today, I can make sure I pay attention to him this time. My two favorite characters were Hector and Henrietta (Boo Jackson). Both characters were adorable, and they were so close and comforting for each other. That gives the movie double adorableness :D My favorite scene in the film is definitely the rooftop scene with Matthew and Boo. I wish I could find it on Youtube. Humph. Oh well.

During the viewings of all of these Goode movies, I realized how big Matthew's eyes are. They are very nice eyes :)
