As Good As It Gets
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
In Copenhagen, the photographer Alex (Nicolaj Lie Kaas) is the boyfriend of Simone (Maria Bonnevie) and the Swedish painter Aimee (Maria Bonnevie) is the wife of the writer August Holm (Krister Henriksson). When Alex meets Aimee in a bar, they have one night stand and falls in love for each other. However, on the next days, Alex is forgotten by his girlfriend and friends, and sees his world vanishing and his romance with Aimee re-initiating."Reconstruction" is an intriguing and surrealistic romance that follows the school of David lynch. All the characters are needy of love, and one possible interpretation (actually my interpretation) for the plot is that August is writing his novel inspired in the needy of his wife an muse Aimee that feels lonely with his constant absence due to his lectures and meetings with his editor Monica. He develops and affair of the character Aimme with the also fictional Alex, a man that has difficulties to commit with and believe in love, being hard for him to say "I love you" to Simone. When Alex meets Aimee, he leaves his past relationship behind but it is hard for him to believe in the love of Aimee and he loses her, and the magic of their love is never accomplished. If the viewer is seeking an original screenplay raising many questions without much explanation and open to interpretation, supported by great performances and wonderful cinematography and music score, he or she will certainly love this little gem. Last but not the least, Maria Bonnevie is a very pretty and seductive woman. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Reconstrução de um Amor" ("Reconstruction of a Love")
This film is my favorite film. I have the feeling that talking about it so much may not be good in order not to effect its charm. It is a difficult plot to understand,yet you do not need to understand everything,and that is also very charming. There is the main character Alex and his girlfriend Simone,and another woman named Aimee,wife of a writer who seems to be controlling the plot while writing about the life of all. Alex gets the opportunity of falling in love many times that is something a man wants to have as a coincidence,unlike woman as a need. I find the part very exciting after the writer is talking, Alex and Aimee are walking in metro before "in order to" meet.
Having suddenly caught the beginning of this movie on one of Russia's channels, i was extremely determined to carry on watching it. Cause simply i was carried away with absorbing deep-colorful frames, provocative voice of author and that amazing girl Marie Bonnevie in bar -- a present of fate for Alex! During all film we and producer try to explain ourselves the magic of true love between Alex and Emme(not sure if it correct) They are suitable to each other but circumstances prevent them from being together -- famous problem...and why are they always meeting so as have met first time? And then Alex is not recognized by all his relatives -- strange and talented ideas of Cris Boe i want to claim! Though i had much to do that night, i thank the fate for watching this outfit. The end of film brought me sadness ((, but such sadness that made me fill better.
Interesting. Original? I shouldn't think so. Well acted, yes. And in the little art-house cinema in Toulouse people didn't budge while watching this 'fable-ous' film. But now, come to think of it, I have been here before! Oh, yes. Was it not L'Année dernière à Marienbad? But now more like, "Next year in Rome..." Oh, but there is also that book, 'I am not Stiller'. Could Stiller have gone to Rome from Marienbad? Or was it the illustrious author August? Oh, dear, I am getting deliciously confused.
