this is the title of a french movie that i've been curious about for a long time. it was really good.
i saw it at gateway, the new mall which was really nice. i think i'm gonna love that mall. only need to take the LRT to go there and back home. so it felt safe.
the movie was quite sad and very different. as it was a foreign film, it had subtitles, which was part of the reason i decided to watch it. nothing than watching a large screen movie with subtitles, right? in that sense, you're no different from the hearing people watching the movie as well. we were all equal in that dark cinema theatre.
the movie was a story all about these two young lovers who have known each other since they were ten and then became engaged just before the war began. she lost him and is trying to find him, thought he had died but turns out he had amnesia and switched tags with someone and so they thought that he had died. the story is unbelievable and if you can get past french humour and a bit of french culture stuff that will get to you, you will really enjoy it. i know i did.
rating of movie : a swell four stars. nothing like a movie about the power of love. but i wish they made the ending like, he recovered his senses and knew it was matilde and they lived happily ever after but it doesn't show that.
rating of cinema: four stars as well. bring a jacket. it was very cold in the gateway cinemas. i repeat, FREEZING COLD. thawing took place at the LRT station.
shock factor: brutal reality of a war, the tragedy of youth (it really is wasted on the young) and how the french must be dirty bastards in their past life... also, jodie foster was in the movie which shocked me. a familiar face in a movie filled with unfamiliar faces.
