Wristcutters - A Love Story

Ok, I'm a bit of an Indy film junkie, so I tend to watch a lot of obscure stuff.

This movie was PHENOMENAL. The stars were Patrick Fugit(from "Almost Famous"The kid trying to write the story for rolling stone), and.....oh, what was her name...Shannyn Sossamon! She was the love interest of Heath Ledger in "A Knights Tale". She's been in other things of note, I just can't recall them all at the moment.

Anyway, this film *might* trigger some people, it's hard to say, but I personally think it's presented in such a way that it's safe for most. Still, best to consider this a warning.

I'll give you the plotline, as posted on IMDB, but I don't really know what more I can say that won't be a spoiler.

"A film set in a strange afterlife way station that has been reserved for people who have committed suicide."

For being the writers first screenplay, thought this film was just absolutely fantastic.

I've actually had it on disc over a year, but I could never seem to convince my wife to watch it with me, so I never did. The other night though, I was showering and when I got out of the shower she was half way through it!!! I was both miffed and excited, so I watched the last half with her, and then when it was over, she went to bed and I watched it over again from the beginning. I guess maybe it was about a week ago? *Shrugs* Close enough to a week, I suppose.

I meant to post about it sooner, but it kept slipping my mind.

Hmmm,

Interesting? Let me ask you, can you provide any more details about the movie (without spoiling it of course). Is it a philosophial story? A love story? Satire? Drama?

Just curious

Absolutely all of the above. Hmm...wish I could do cut tags on here.....but I can't, and I don't want to risk spoilage, but I'll link to the imdb page for it, the member review on the front page was actually very good, so I'll leave it up to you folks if you want to risk spoilers. His review didn't give too much away, but more than I'd be willing to post, so yeah, decide for yourselves.

Just scroll down to the "User Comments" section, the one I'm referring to should be the one immediately on display, unless someone else adds a comment between now and then.

LOL, I don't really have the time anymore, but my movie collection is well over 300 by now, probably approaching 400, I'm a bit of an addict. I don't know why I even bother paying for digital cable.

      @Sally Stone, I have enjoyed reading this thread immensely. There certainly are some things in it that I can relate to, particularly when you wrote that "I wasn’t a man trapped in a woman’s body." This simple statement confirmed two things for me; I am not an imposter here, and I could end up much further along the path than what I imagine now.   I very much look forward to your future posts here.   I hope that by posing this question I'm not committing you to spoil future posts, but can I ask, why you have settled on Bigender as a label? I keep changing my label and have no idea what it might be tomorrow or next week or next month!

      This whole Cass Review thing is breaking my heart. I keep imagining how it must be to be a trans kid in the UK atm. I am halfway through reading the review so that I can effectively refute it if and when people cite it here in Australia.

      One thing I took on board from a former boss who was an absolute gentleman and fluent conversationalist but a hopeless leader because he was the classic yes man to his superiors, was to take the emotion out of the equation when arguing. Don't use hyperbole. Don't exaggerate. Stick to what you know and defeat your adversary with logic. Of course, your adversary will double down and make an even bigger fool of themselves, and not even realize that they have lost the argument, nor will they realize that people are laughing at them and not with them. It also helps if you can separate them from their minions.   A conservative elderly uncle, who left school at the age of 12, swears black and blue that taking Ivermectin (sheep dip) prevents Covid because he knew someone who knew someone else who took it and despite that person being momentarily in close contact with people who had Covid, didn't come down with it. "Well, you're the one with the science degree!" I said.   A lot of people argue out of ignorance. They base their points on populism and rumor. I rarely argue, but when I do, it is in an attempt to push back. Another favorite saying that I use is "Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools and believed by idiots." I then ask, "Which two are you?" 😉

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      Nostalgia is an emotion. It is the feeling of enjoying events from the past. People with nostalgia will often look at or use old things that they were familiar with years ago. This is because people feel more connected to those past times that they enjoyed, usually because it reminds them of how long it has been since they last connected to such past times. Examples where people may have the feeling of nostalgia includes watching old TV shows, using old technology that was very enjoyable, and playing with toys that you played with as a child. These memories are usually misleading, and can make someone wish that they could be young again, even if their childhood was mediocre. Human brains often leave out boring or bad memories, which can cause incorrect feelings about their childhood.
