Just watched "Blue Valentine"
There was so much hype leading up to this movie, all through out 2010 we heard about this movie. Towards the end of the year, starting in September, rumors were flying around that Gosling gives his greatest performance and Michelle Williams is stunning...I wasn't buying it.
The movie delivers on so many levels. I'm left right now thinking about it and how dark it was.
"Blue Valentine" is the story of Dean and Cindy...it is a journey from their present state...married with a child...with flashbacks of their youth when they first met. When Dean and Cindy first are introduced to one another they are in their young twenties I believe...and it seems like the perfect match...young love.
But this isn't your typical movie because the emphasis of the film is the progression in the love affair between two people. The flashbacks that coincide with the present on their relationship is scary. It left me in awe because of how real the portrayal was. You get a genuine feel that the characters played by Williams and Gosling are in their actual state.
It's a gritty, gruesome visual cacophony that leaves you thinking how one extreme can transition to the other over what seems like a short period of time.
Ryan Gosling is tremendous, his acting as the "older" Dean is remarkable as the receding hairline, anger and passion is felt in every scene. Michelle Williams has a breakthrough performance and if not for Natalie Portman in "Black Swan" she would have had the Oscar for Best Leading Female in a Drama, if I had a vote.
Everything felt real, it's the first movie I've really scene with this type of storyline that was believable from start to finish...that is something that is very hard to accomplish these days.
"Blue Valentine" has some funny moments, the cute moments that put a smile on your face but mostly you can't take your eyes off the screen because of how captivating the story and acting is. I recommend the film strongly...
Rating = 9/10

Jesus... this movie was tearing at my soul in a way that few movies have done. Gosling is one of my favorite actors already, but damn, if he weren't before he'd be up there now. Michelle Williams was amazing too. Cant believe how well filmed this was and the way the story progressed so well. I cant ever watch this again though, *spoiler* I almost shed a tear at the end when Gosling walked off. When their kid started crying, I wanted to. Broken homes
Overall, 4.5/5. Gosling should win an award, +*$% a Colin Firth.

Just watched this
At first I was like...I don't want to get married anymore
Then I was like...well maybe, but I'll have to be this woman for at least 8 years lol
It was depressing to see my potential future and having fights for the sake of having fights.
the acting was excellent. I was even surprised at how good the little girl was too.
The only thing I didn't like about it was
