Yeah, the film was all about connections. I know I said it was about what people value in their lives, connecting is really an offshoot of that I suppose. I could equally have said it was about relationships but I think it's fair to say "what people value" encompasses most of this, whether they value their jobs, their relationships, their lifestyle, the views of themselves (ego) and where they are going... it pretty much covers it. It just didn't really draw me in. None of the characters were in a similar situation to myself so there was little relevency for me there and it was such a character driven film that that left little for me to grasp on to. Thematically it was wide (as I mentioned in earlier) but I thought it really only made some vague and then some very specific comments which again, did not resonate enough for me. I hope this answers some of your wonderings about me ;-) I don't have much to say about Vera but I did think she was good. You'd be hearing about it if I thought she was crap. I just didn't think they spent a lot of time on her character. Not that they should have, after all, the film was mainly about Ryan. Hey Henry,

Well, I don't know you too well. Too bad you didn't have the connection with the film, which I thought was one of many themes in the film. No mention of Vera Farmiga and her character? I think she's equally, if not more, key as Anna Kendrick's character. Waiting to see what the awards will say about this film. Somewhat unrelated, there's some chatter about Morgan Freeman in Invictus (to be reviewed?) which I thought was decent, but not that special. Not being able to relate leaves me to wonder about you…!
