Perfect Sense (2012)

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Magnificent narration, superb images of third world populations, mingled with a modern parable of progressive loss where everyone is affected. One feels so sorry for Susan (Eva) and Michael (Ewan)...and themselves too! A very moving story that takes the viewer from the first minute to the final black screen, without using all the tricks of today's blockbusters. Sober, moving, efficient.

Love in a time of sensory deprivation...A strange disease has afflicted the earth, depriving people of their sense of smell and taste, initially, then spreading further. At this time a chef, Michael (played by Ewan McGregor), and a scientist, Susan (played by Eva Green), start a relationship...Overly schmaltzy and a bit dull. While the movie does make some interesting points about the importance of our senses, and maybe lack of importance in terms of relationships, the main theme is purely a basic love story, and I believe that's been done before...Good performances by Ewan McGregor and Eva Green in the lead roles. Some solid support, though Ewen Bremner is irritating.

That's the worst piece of trash i've watched lately! What is the basic message of this movie?? I guess it is supposed to be found in the final words of the movie: love, forgivance etc. Maybe they would have succeeded to make their message believable if they hadn't spent more than 50 minutes of the movie by showing mere sex and animalic instincts. I failed to see the romance or the LOVE - and what LOVE is really supposed to mean. Feim a movie of 80 minutes, when more than half of it shows only sex and nudity, I definitely understand its message is centered on basic instincts, non-existence of any kind of morality and pure animality. Is that what we all are?? In our daily existence, is this what we really do - sleep with the first stranger we meet because we've just broken up with someone (like the heroine does) or do we have pure sex with no matter how many partners, whom we coldly send home 'cause we don't need them anymore (like he does)?! Or does a true love story begin with a casual sex affair which develops into love?? At a certain moment i had the impression I'm watching a porn movie! Terribly disappointing and a mere waste of time! They could have made a beautiful story but they destroyed all possibilities when they decided to focus the biggest part of the movie on sexual intercourse and nudity. PS: if i was an actor/actress, I really wouldn't give up on my dignity to film naked and simulating sex. I guess that's why I'm not an actor...

Reading the description of this movie, I felt like it would be a boring traditional end of the world romance. But instead it shows us life, true emotion and human fear. It represents what the average person would do in this situation (which is very carefully and skilfully thought out), without having the nonsense that these average people can somehow unrealistically save the world. Its amazing, the camera work, the plot, the actors and their rolls are made for each other. Their emotions transfer onto us, we feel the struggle of this time as if we could be next. And the message that any one could take away from this film is inspiring and hopeful, but to receive this message you have to watch closely, which isn't hard considering you are already glued to the screen every second of the way. This is one of the best films I have ever watched, and by far the best plot of any film I have watched. For anyone mature enough to sit and experience this film, it is amazing.
