Not everything understandable, but interesting This will be a very subjective review. I’m going to write a lot more about my feelings and feelings than any of the parameters of the film. And that, by the way, characterizes him quite strongly. I think you need to feel it.
But I'll start with the objective. The film is very well done. It is very beautiful, there is wonderful music, good acting, there are moments when cinematography or editing is interesting. In general, everything is done very technically. This film is a pleasure to watch and listen to.
It’s hard to say what a pizza is. There's no main story in it. We are simply shown the lives of 2 young people (Gary 15 and Alana 25) and the development of their relationships, which gradually turn from friendly to romantic. They communicate, hang out with friends and are constantly busy with work or business, which does not leave strange sensations when watching a film where the main character is 15.
I’m sure I’ve missed a lot of the charm of this movie because I don’t know much about the culture of the 70s. Because the film feels a lot of references to this time, although I rarely understood what exactly they refer.
I’d love to call it a charming romantic movie, but I can’t do it 100%. There are a few moments in the film where Gary acts like an abuser, and overall, the relationship between the main characters looks very strange, if not toxic. And this can be explained by the youth of the main characters and the fact that they only learn to build relationships. Personally, I was knocked out of the movie for a while. Dissonance was created when the characters behave like this, and the film retains its romantic tone.
Also, for reasons I can’t explain to myself, in the middle of the movie I got bored for a while and fell out of the mood of the movie again. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the characters behave strangely for a while, and I was able to understand their actions only towards the end of the film.
I really liked the humor in this movie. There are very cute and withdrawn moments, which mainly appear due to the inexperience and absurdity of the main characters. And in the film there is an absolutely wonderful and funny character Bradley Cooper, who attracts all attention when he appears.
Overall, the film left me with a contradictory but more pleasant feeling. And I certainly can’t recommend it to everyone, but it was an interesting film experience.
