Very best movie i ever watch

Purely Joyful Movie!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I really like this movie, not because it's some great love story. Because come to think of it, it isn't really a love story. Sutter is in love with his ex, Cassidy throughout the whole film. I like the movie because it is raw and just REAL.Sutter is a fun guy who lives in the moment. He doesn't worry about the future or about consequences (just like most adolescents). With graduation and adulthood approaching, Cassidy breaks up with Sutter because she wants a future. All in all, she wants someone who takes life seriously - Something Sutter refuses to do. He's a likeable guy, very easy going, which makes getting over him that much harder. But still, she moves on. Sutter then meets Aimee who is a very sweet girl with a good head on her shoulders. Her and Sutter get along very well. They soon open up to each other, and she ends up losing her virginity to him. Still... Sutter is hung up on his ex, which is what bothered me about the film. However, it gives the story and the viewer a sense of realism. The reason why Aimee is so important and a big part of the plot is because she's the reason as to why Sutter finally faces his demons, and not once does she give up on him, not even when he tries pushing her away. She's very forgiving, understanding, compassionate, and loving. She's exactly what Sutter needs. I can see how some people don't like this movie. I disagree, but I understand why. It's not your typical romance, like The Notebook, A Walk To Remember, or The Vow to name a few. In the end, it's a realistic story that many can relate to topped with great actors.

The Spectacular NowThe premise is somewhat familiar and seems like your typical teenage movie stuff, but as it ages on screen, it grows into this mature character driven feature that contradicts its tone. The first half of it is slow, mushy-gushy and spends its time on setting the plot and the characters' track. There are few inedible clauses in here but if neglecting and moving past it, it offers much more than a romantic genre usually does. It is shot beautifully when it focuses on its love track and is perfectly balanced on the dark and light aspects of it; especially in its last act. James Ponsoldt has done a decent work on executing this uneven and unsettled feature but it definitely could have edited better and improved on some other technical aspects too. The performance is where the wheel gets stuck as its lead characters (Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley) are not in their A game whilst the supporting cast (Jennifer Jason Leigh, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Brie Larson) is far better. The Spectacular Now is spectacular on terms of its unpredictability as it laughs over the expectation of the audience which it outgrows by a major margin.

I love both Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley , and I consider Mary Elizabeth Winstead to be awesome, but hey, come on, what a piece of empty trifle, mere baloney I have just watched? I mean, I am serious, this is a total waste of time, film amd effort. Nothing deep, or sincere, or touching, or decent here. What we see is...er...drinking. Much alcohol abuse, drinking, some making out, drunken talks, empty drama, shallow development, insincere dialog, useless twists, worthless effort, and voila, what we see is a very weak, very naive, very silly childish attampt at something deep but falling miserably behind, and lagging at each step. I was rubbing my eyes in utter disbelief, trying to catch any sign of anything solid or sensational. Instead, I saw a sleepy slow boerd Woodley, and wooden boring Teller. Why was this film made? No idea. What message did it deiver? No message. What worth did it bring? Nothing. Just a dull thud, boring yawn and useless effort.

I really wasn't expecting a huge amount from this film at all, after all the "popular guy falls for quiet, studious girl" has been played out a number of times, all to fairly similar and formulaic results. However this film has a different feel to it. Firstly the acting is great; Miles Teller plays the cocky, 'confidence masking his insecurities' role absolutely perfectly. As for Shailene Woodley, she plays the quiet girl brilliantly and does so with intelligence and dignity. The direction doesn't make her ever grovel for the popular guy's attention, or change herself for him - if it does then its only in the subtlest of ways. Another stand out aspect of the film is the attention to the smaller roles, notably Sutter's father, and the owner of the shop that Sutter works in (Bob Odenkirk). Both are posed as polar opposite characters - shown in an exchange near the end of the film when Sutter quits his job at the shop. There's this real feel of a small town in the movie in which they all live, which seems almost claustrophobic and you just want the characters to escape and break free. Overall this is just a lovely film, and honestly one of the best 'coming of age' films of its kind I think I've ever seen. Just watch it. You'll be moved.
