Ruz Interesting movie mainly about sacrifices and feeling guilty. 3 different cities, different stories with the same meaning- Everything in life need some sacrifices. In 3 stories people struggle, try to change something and don't want realize that nothing can be changed. 3 mistakes, 3 worse feelings and 3 interesting stories that keep you not breathing during watching the movie. Most of all I liked musical arrangement which was awesome. Strongly suggest to watch this movie

Slobodan Stamenkovic Main plot begins when Scott (Adrien Brody) finds "love bomb" in small Italian café. Everything else happens around this plot and is called ordinary life with many problems characters have in life. Almost every character is loser except two of them who experienced lose before and they wanted something else. Do good deed, expect good. Do evil deed and expect a lot worse. Someone picks money but what about love? Someone picks love but what happens with money?You can live life without love but what kind of life, and on the other point of view how to live without money? Shakespearean, TO BE OR NOT TO BE. Good movie, well written and directed by Paul Haggis, good acting especially main characters Moran Atias (Monika), Adrien Brody (Scott) and Liam Nelson (Michael). Definitely watch this movie.

mark-d-jordan1 Like a poem which can be read over and over and have new meanings each time, this film can be interpreted depending on the viewer, which makes it more interesting than your run-of-the-mill film.Basically, Liam Neeson's character Michael is trying to write another successful novel but is tormented by the drowning death of his young son. He is having marital difficulties with his wife Elaine (Kim Basinger) due to the death of his son and his affair with Anna (Olivia Wilde). The only real main characters in the story are Michael, Elaine and Anna. The other main characters are not real. Keep all this in mind.Michael, near the end, is revealed as the cause of his son's drowning because he took a phone call from his mistress Anna and was not watching his son in the pool. His guilt from this is overwhelming and so he creates in his mind, as he writes a novel, two separate stories to help relieve the guilt. He has gone to Paris (or Rome if you make it to the end) to write and be alone to think. One story (his) is real but two are not. The two imaginary stories involve the characters inability to be with their child although the child is still alive in both (one is questionable as they never show the actual child, or do they?). So Michael is making up stories as to why a parent cant get to their child just as he can no longer do.In a sense Michael is making up alternate realities for why his child is missing from his life or trying to justify a scenario where the child is missing but found alive. What the stories are you will have to watch to find out. But why the stories exist is more important. There is one story in Rome between Scott (Adrien Brody) and Monika (Moran Atias). There is another in NYC with Julia (Mila Kunis) and Rick (James Franco) and there is the main story in Paris with Michael (Liam Neeson), Anna (Olivia Wilde) and Elaine (Kim Basinger), who is not in Paris but part of the Paris story.The three stories are woven in an interconnected way. A character from each of the stories connects to a character in the other stories. The one confusing part was when they kept showing Julia (Mila Kunis) cleaning hotel rooms in what appeared to be the Paris hotel of Liam Neeson yet Julia (Mila Kunis) was clearly living in NYC and dealing with ex-husband Rick (James Franco) in a child custody case. Even the cities were getting mixed in the head of Michael (Liam Neeson) the writer.I am not sure if the three stories appear in the book that Michael (Liam Neeson) finishes at the end of the movie. One reviewer suggested that they were all characters that were erased from the finished novel but I am not so sure as they may have been the book itself. In the movie the characters disappear near the end but to me that may mean the saga has simply ended for those characters. It is open to interpretation. You will notice at the end that Michael's wife has the completed novel (in draft form). It appears that the completed novel was what Michael needed to get over his son's death. There is a twist. Michael's mistress Anna (Olivia Wilde) is revealed to be sleeping with her dad earlier in the film,and Michael has put this in his finished novel. He seems willing to destroy his affair with her in order to end his guilt of her being the one who called him and distracted him while his son died. Everything in the film is meant to help Michael get over his guilt. There is a connecting phrase "watch me" which appears in the film and you will need to listen for.This is probably a way more brilliant film than the average reviewer has indicated. The acting is really good and it keeps your interest as you try to figure it out. It was complex to write I am sure and an experiment in boldness and modern film making.

Liviu Anghel This is the first time that I write a review. Although i've seen many (and in my opinion many good) movies I didn't felt compelled to write a review until now.This is film is truly a gem. So real, so .... like a gem. Watch it. It will truly worth your time. I do not have other words to say, you just have to watch it for yourself.I do not want to give any spoilers but this is something that should be on everyone's watching list. This is something that you meet once in a life time.Honestly, there is not much that can be told about this movie without spoiling it, so just WATCH IT!!!
