an Indy film i found online and had to watch because of the title, but became enamoured with after 20 minutes of watching. It is based on a book of the same name and now i must read. I have a friend who told me once it is better to watch the movie first then read the book, because the movie is usually not as good as the book.
The movie is cerebral and filmed in the Indy way. There are lots of people in it that you will recognize instantly.
"she will always be a victim to my villain" is one mans quote of his dysfunctional relationship
another man eloquently speaks of his fathers profession as a bathroom attendant in a swanky hotel and its affect on him as an adult.
The consistent common thread is a woman who interviews all of these men in the guise of how feminism affected women, but i really believe that she is trying to find the reason why her own boyfriend whom she loved cheated on her.
She nurses her broken heart and tries to find the meaning of this perfect relationship's demise. Her boyfriend shows up and tells her the story of how he met this woman, drawn to her in the beginning because it seemed like an easy conquest. At first detesting her because of her easiness, then peeling back the layers to find a woman with a complex story.
The woman sits and listens, never saying a word. This fuels his frustration, he continues to say that he doesn't care what she thinks, but really he is trying to justify breaking her heart and wants her to be moved by the girls story and get drawn into why he felt that he must have her.
It is a voyeuristic view of peoples lives and their motivations.
