Chaos Theory
Konichiwa Bitches!
It has been a long time coming, but finally, FINALLY, I had the fortune of luckily being able to watch another exemplary sleeper hit flick and had the time to write a hopefully good enough review on it. And surprise, surprise, Ryan Reynolds once again has me throwing my hat off with his impressively soulful choice of movies.
Frank Allen stops the doubtful groom of his daughter from leaving her on the day of their wedding. Through his experiences, Frank retells to the groom of how he was once in doubt in a relationship and dealt with the dazzling extremities of his own life, his own Chaos Theory.
First off, hands down to Ryan Reynolds on a job well done. I should never judge a movie by its title. Kick Ass already proved me wrong, and this one has seconds. From the first few minutes of the movie, his seemingly calm, sarcastic humor just had me hooked on watching the movie, which is my Achilles’ heel when trying NOT to get attached to a character. Nonetheless his transition from an old to a young Frank Allen, and vice versa was surprisingly believable. He brought depth on both comedy and drama of the film.
The next thing that convinced me to not change the channel was the music. My God, I have never heard and seen anything like the scenes this movie has allowed me to experienced before. There were silent scenes with only the background soundtracks on that fit perfectly with the underlying theme of the whole movie, and they were mostly written by one man, Alex Dezen of the Damnwells. Beautiful lyrics, with an amazing band to back up. Kudos. And hopefully this band will someday be as successful as most undeserving pop artists are right now.
And finally, the writing. There has always been a quite silent rule in modern writing, don’t start writing anything that’s related to love. Why? Because, thousands probably millions have already done so, and most probably have been able to do so better than any amateur writer. To be able to reach the level that their works have reached, it would need to take a masterpiece’s effort and years of experience. And this movie has certainly done that. Due to spoiler reasons, I can’t say the lines that convinced me so. But hopefully, you might get to appreciate the relevance of the movie’s title even so as much as I did.
Ryan, the enlightening music, and insightful writing, were just some of the reasons on why I wanted to watch the movie. Truth be told, I was just bored/stressed out of my mind and was seeking for any immediate comfort. And the serendipitous divine being provided me with this once in a lifetime tale about a man. A man just like any other, trying to find his way in a world where any thing is random, and yet everything has a pattern. And all it takes is just one lifetime to experience it all. JUST one.
So, whether or not people might label this as a date flick, it really has transcended beyond that, and I invite you to know why. Who knows? you might just learn a little more about ourselves for a little while. XD
P.S. Here’s a song from the movie that I really liked. Hope you guys love it as much as I do. ^__^
