Its been almost a year since my last post. Sorry for that. Will try and be more regular over here.

The movie we are going to be looking today is Wristcutters - A Love Story.
When I downloaded this one, it was purely cause of its name. The first impression i got was that there will be a lot of blood. A lot of blood, that was all i wanted to see.
It was done. At around midnight i set up my personal home-theater(my Dell and headphones).

Movie starts very slowly, with a guy laying on his bed, in a messy room. Thinking some thing.
Scene changes. There are no more doubts on his mind.
He gets up. Looks around in his messy room. Takes a calm breath. One by one, he arranges every thing in his room the clean way.

Scene changes, he goes in his bathroom. Looks himself in the mirror. Holds out a blade. Cuts his wrist. Slowly falls on the floor. Slowly starting to soak in his own blood. Slowly his eyes closes.

I was thinking what was going on. The idea that he was committing suicide was clear.

Now begins the interesting part!

Scene changes. He wakes up. He has his normal daily activities going on. Hes working in a pizza parlor and things are fine...
I am puzzled now... What was going on, i had no clue at all!

After his work, this guy is sitting at a bar. A cute girl walks upto him, and asks a weird question.
"How did you off yourself?" she asked him.

Now i was about to think some thing i have missed. But no, things were unfolding brilliantly.
He shows her his wrists. He then asks her, how did she off herself. It goes in flashback and shows how she tried committing suicide.
I was still clueless as to what was going on!
These people are talking about this "Place" in general. The references are made again and again.
I smiled when it struck me. These people, who have tried and committed suicide were in hell.

Now, all of sudden, this guy finds out that the girl, cause of whom he had committed suicide had also later committed suicide, and was here, in the same place! He asks his pal to join him on the search...

The movie goes on real well. Very well made.
There are many bits in the story which gets you thinking!!!

Nice work...
It was some thing different to see...
