Something Real and Good

This is a story about a complicated girl and a complicated boy randomly meeting in an airport then in the span of one night develop a deep emotional and personal relationship. Not likely. In real life this will never happen which makes this a fairytale of sorts. From the moment you hit play you know exactly where it's going. You could drive a mach truck through some of the holes in the plot but still it's a nice ride watching characters develop and the story unfold. Actually, it's a refreshing change from most of the romantic films of late. No sex or even one nude shot. It's mostly all dialog between the two main characters and it builds and keeps you into it for over hour and half. That is actually pretty impressive in itself.

I saw this movie the other day, at home, choosing this brand new tittle over like fifty others waiting for a first watch. The reason I chose this one is simple. The poster and the tittle talk about human relationships, traveling and maybe - just maybe - love. That's enough for me.

I have to say that no one could honestly say this is a great movie. It doesn't have to be either. It's just a nice little story trying to find its place. And it does find its place, as long as one can figure out how fascinating is to depict yourself in the eyes of a stranger.

Everyone is a stranger in an airport. This story deals with this simple truth, and keeps it simple. Simple and warm. As the dialogue, as the tone. Words and ideas are the main theme here. Everything else is left aside, specially sophistication or cynicism.

The result, from my point of view, is a nice little piece of art, of true human contact, of genuinely funny entertainment. The boy and the girl talk about themselves, and may discover something in the way. Does anyone ask for more in a production like this? Not me.

it was quite good. you know is what we need to see. without drama and illness and accidents. actually it was something real and good. it is like we talk to a friend. a friend who doesn't know us so good. so we are not afraid to talk for our deep emotions. i think that you are going to feel bored in a way , by watching that film. but in the end.. you are going to say.. " oh my god.. this is me.. or this was me"! you would be relieved.. so the plot : a woman and a man meet each other and they spend a night together talking about their lives. it reminds me a little bit of " before sunrise".. without the romance and enforced by more cynicism.

Palm trees do not grow in Denver, Co.

And that leads to the problem in this flick. The two leading characters seem out of step with each other. The dialog is mostly labored and not believable. It's almost as if they are tolerating each other from start to finish. It's like the director found two actors with absolutely no chemistry between them and to accent it he put palm trees in Denver!

Yes they play all over that giant and weirdly empty hotel - nobody notices? They project an image of a growing interest in each other through their soul searching conversations ---- but it just doesn't work. They simply seem at odds with one another throughout.

And a city with palm trees can not pass for Denver !!

The whole movie i expected something bad was gonna happen......(I think its because of all the action and thrillers I've seen) It just really is something real and good. A small love story about two people who meet at the airport. No action, no drama, no killing or other horrible things. Just a great movie!
