Jonny Angel posted:The thematic thread running through this film about needing to present yourself and understand yourself as someone different from who you are (or were) is an obvious one, it's not really even subtext. But I love the companion theme, not quite as brazenly stated, about how boxing others into these too-small categories is just as much a survival mechanism. See: the undertone's of Rosalyn's new relationship at the end, DiMaso's attempts to guess the ending to Thorsen's ice fishing story. Or, hell, the whole point behind the Rembrandt forgery allegory. I really like this interpretation, and helps me understand a few of the things that I was having problems with when I first saw the movie. All in all, I really enjoyed this movie. I got dragged to see it by a friend after ignoring him telling me to watch the trailers several times, and knew practically nothing about this before I went to the theater. I think I had seen one commercial for it, and had known it was a comedy. Other than that, flying blind. With that said, I thought it was really great, and quickly got wrapped up in everything. I can understand the people who have problems with the plot, it wasn't the most developed thing in the world, but I side with the people who say the character's make up for it. Everyone was fantastically well-acted and given a lot of life. Also, I'm really glad that there's finally a thread for it. I saw it last week and kept debating making a thread for it, but I was too lazy to make an op.
