The Butterfly Effect

It is the strangest thing when talking about something refuses to help, yet writing ... just writing it out feels like its almost sucked out of you. The power of the pen, or now.. the keyboard. *insert comical face*

So i finally got around to watching 'The Butterfly Effect'... hands down my favourite movie barring none. Beyond fantastic direction and acting, the plot seemed to appeal to the more irrational side of the brain.. what a relief! Thank God that there is STILL a (teeny tiny) market out there for the people who don't want everything to be plausible and possible and probably and well... just a scientific possibility. Gives me hope in the oddest way.

Okay, if this was a 'real' review what would i ideally say?

The movie doesn't really start with a bang per se but the clever insertion of the Chaos Theory at the very beginning helps lend a tone and pace. Simply put, a flapping of the wings of a butterfly can cause a tornado halfway across the world.. Yes, it sounds fantastic but that seems to be the crux of the tale. As Jeeves would put it to Bertie.. one must never confuse the improbable with the impossible..or was it Psmith?
Ashton Kutcher does a remarkable job and is able to move away from the pretty-boy image post The 70's Show. The various twists in the movie keep one gripped, enough to ignore the time as we pray (or was it just me?) for a 'happy ending'. It does satisfy that need in a way but poignant moments are plenty with the slow realization-that regardless of how good ones intent is, each trivial (and not so) action has a consequence on somebody elses life too. We're all connected and there can be no real rectification of the past... If the power was alive to change the long dead and gone moments... then too, sacrifices would need to be made to achieve what can be the semblance of joy. Less complex to watch, more so to mull over. A must see for people who claim to have good taste, however... side-effect... it may creep you out just a little bit if you're the nervous kind.

So not really a 'real' review.. no critical input at all actually! Just biased analysis. Perfect. :)
