Wicker Park

Alex: "Who's to say this woman hasn't been in love with you for a really long time. And now that she found you again, she wasn't about to let you go twice."

Matthew: "What?"

Alex: "Maybe the first time she saw you, maybe she felt the way you did the first time you saw Lisa. You remember that. Love makes you do crazy things. Insane things. Things in a million years you never thought you'd see yourself do. There you are doing it. Can't help it."

Fortunately for me i was able to watch a movie today that blew me away. I've had a copy of Wicker Park for quite some time now. And earlier i couldn't find anything to watch anymore so i opted to just watch this just for the sake of being able to watch something new.

The movie is about Matthew (Josh Hartnett) and Lisa (Diane Kruger) who were deeply in love. Unfortunately for Matthew, Lisa just disappeared from his life. 2 years down the road he thinks he spots Lisa. And the story unfolds as he tries to track her down once more.

I got a copy of this film because i never got to watch it in the theaters. And i assumed it would be a romantic (with probably a bit of suspense) film wherein the guy loses the girl, looks for her and simply finds her in the end. But i was dead wrong. I know a lot of people didn't like this movie but for me it was a movie that was planned out perfectly. Yes it was a love story but the suspense was there. The plot may be too complex for some but it really wasn't. The storyline was made to be simple only in the beginning. As the characters slowly revealed their true selves the plot thickened. And it ended perfectly. It wasn't anti-climactic nor dragging. I was literally at the edge of my seat the whole time. The actors did a wonderful job in portraying their characters. Definitely all raves for this movie :) And today i can officially say that i am head over heels in love with Josh Hartnett. Hehehehe :)

It seems as if the soundtrack is good too :) My Wicker Park song is another old song but i still love it anyway :)


The Scientist by Coldplay (but i think they weren't the artists who sang the song for the movie)

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you i set you apart

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy, Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start
