Quentin Tarantino said the whole reason he casted John Travolta in Pulp Fiction was because as fantastic of an actor Travolta is (especially in Blow-Out, one of his favorites) no directors really use him to his full potential and instead pick him up for stupid rom-coms. I would say exactly the same thing about Ashton Kutcher.
Yeah yeah I know you're already giving me looks about claiming Kutcher is a good actor. Honestly, I think that this film proved he was filled with talent. He was excellent in this and if he picked better projects post-That 70's Show, I think we'd be calling him an excellent actor. A lot of the cast give great performances here (even Amy Smart who…
this movie used to make me cry in high school..... but i ain't no little bitch anymore.... i've played life is strange..... i know what real pain is
The Butterfly Effect is a fascinating idea that misses a few too many beats to be great. There are stretches of brilliance and utter captivation but there are also inhibiting moments where scenes feel a few drafts away from a sophisticated fruition. Maybe it was the rush of production or a script circumventing the scalpel of a final doctor, but the need for some rearranging, reshoots and tautness is regrettably palpable.
Don't get me wrong, this is still a quality movie with impressive cohesion and edge of your seat thrills. Structurally, it's cogent and devoid of convoluted or ostentatious warping of the timeline. Conversely, when it does have to skew the timeframe, it nimbly does so with effectively incorporated flashbacks…
Not being able to undo your past deeds is the greatest pain of all. Knowing that nothing can be done is the greatest torture of all. Hurting your loved one for their well being and bearing the brunt of it is the greatest sacrifice of all.
The sacrifice made by Evan made my heart ache. This film had such an impact on me. The ending brought tears to my eyes :(
At the heart of this film is an intriguing concept, unfortunately not all of it actually works when put together on screen. It reminds me of something like an X-Files episode, the sort of thing that Chris Carter would write in his sleep, but with Ashton "I'm famous for fucking Demi Moore" (lucky bastard) Kutcher, this is more like a nightmare. Kutcher's acting can only be described as shit, he has the same facial expression or should that be faecal expression, regardless of what's happening on screen. Amy Smart's not much better, and despite the presence of Eric Stoltz as a pedo and a small cameo from Kevin Durand, this wastes its potential with one too many disturbing aspects thrown…
Just don’t get this movie? Love the first half and I’m a sucker for a good plot twist but the weighting seemed a bit lazy or something idk
Meu filme favorito no mundo! Tem uma história muito boa e diferente do que eu costumo ver no cinema, não é novo, mas mesmo assim continua me encantando.
Oasis - Stop Crying Your Heart Out 🦋💞
Wow this movie does not hold up 14 years later. The defense "at least he was good in TBE" holds no water. Bleurgh.
A surprisingly enjoyable, well-acted, and sad movie that has replay value, too.
I relate to the insanity of this so much, especially due to recently being told I should gather journals to write down my deja vu and psychotic experiences so much. This film is so poetic and insanely beautiful.
