Imagine Me & You - a romantic movie, with a twist



i just saw a movie which quite ordinary, but really took my breath away.
furthermore, this is not an ordinary typical love story.
it's something with a twist.
and lesbians.

wey, seblom otak korang pk bende tak senonoh bile aku mensyen perkataan "lesbian" tu, aku nak cakap korang, citer ni rated PG-13 jer ye, sama jugak dengan spesifikasi U kat sini.
so no kinky stuff aa..

citer ni pasal sorang pompuan ni, Rachel (Piper Perabo, heroin Coyote Ugly, last seen in The Prestige) masa hari perkahwinan dia, dengan Heck (Matthew Goode, hero Chasing Liberty, Match Point) beshpren merangkap childhood sweetheart dia.
on the way to the aisle, dah nak kawen sangat-sangat tu, mata dia bertembung dalam lingkungan 2-3 saat dengan sorang pompuan lagi, Luce (Lena Heady, The Brother's Grimm) yg jadi florist masa majlis dorang..
jengjengjengg.. mcm ada spark.
malah masa aku tengok tu, aku sendrik mcm dorang ni ada zass chemistry.
tapi Rachel teruskan jer perkahwinan dia ngan Heck, sebab masa tu mcm tader pape la..
dan masa majlis tu jugak, dia berkenalan dengan Luce nih, dia rasa Luce ni mcm deja-vu la, someone yg dia penah kenal, blablabla.. chemistry yg aku citer tu..

oh aku lupa nak cakap. Luce ni mmg gay a.k.a lesbian
tapi dia tak nampak mcm lesbian
typical stereotyping dalam movie slalu tunjuk yang lesbo ni ala-ala tomboy kan, tapi Luce ni actually very very attractive, dan bagi aku sangat lawaaaa..
macam an older Keira Knightley, tapi lagi lawa lah hehe

so Rachel ni mcm sangat konfius la.. laki dia pulak suka nau berkawan dengan Luce nih..
Rachel lak dalam dendiam terasa something yg dia tak penah rasa selama bersama dengan Heck, mcm samting missing, tapi dia konfius sebab dia bukan gay, dan dia rasa bersalah sebab dia mcm cheated on her husband.

predictably, tau la end-up ngan sapa kan hehe
tapi bagi aku citer nih sangat besh, sangat sweet, sangat touching, sangat menarik..
ini ialah U-rated love story di antara 2 orang pompuan, which is not as typical as we thought.
maybe aku buleh katakan, something we've seen before but then again something different.
i could say, it's beautiful, honest and heartfelt story with an amazing performance, particularly from Piper Perabo.
oh mcm buleh rasa jer dia rasa camner..
dia konfius, dia rasa guilty conscience, mcm nak tapi tak buleh, nak jugak tapi kesian, tak buleh tapi nak.. uwaaaa.. tapi happy ending.. hehe

Brokeback Mountain adalah overrated gay totally pure sex so-called love story, tapi citer ni totally underrrated.
there's no kinky sex-scenes, no drugs, dan paling penting, these 2 women who both turn out to be lesbian may have actually come from families who weren't completely dysfunctional and who didn't "become lesbian" because of some traumatic childhood abuse from a family member.. mcm Hollywood slalu buat (Monster, Bound, yadda yadda.. huahhh)
oh i just looove British romantic movie, i.e Love Actually, Four Weddings & A Funeral, Bridget Jone's Diary, etc etc, mcm hepi jer tengok citer dorang.. wahahaha.. jewangg
it's like a You've Got Mail or Sleepless in Seattle but with lesbians.. wahahaha

citer ni tahun lepas (2005) mmg tak kuar wayang pon.
cari la di kedai Ah Chong yg berdekatan dengan anda ye..

anyways, watch it with an open mind, i warn you.
4 bintang, klu tak buleh jer kasik 5 bintang, tapi it would be much much better kalau Luce tu sorang laki yg sangat hensem ala-ala Colin Firth.. whoohooo!!

and its got nice soundtrack too.
lagu tema dia, Happy Together.. imagine me and you i do.. i dream about you day and night it's only right.. to think about the girl you love.. and hold you tight.. so happy togetheeerrrrrrr...
