Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
editor-306 Combining eccentricity with serendipity, Still Breathing is still, almost ten years after it was first released, one of the best fate-filled and wistfully magical love stories of all time. Take one somewhat unusual street performer who is mystically drawn towards his soul mate - a hardened con artist miles away, and then back their journey towards, away and towards one another with a gorgeous soundtrack that moves effortlessly from Chopin to Carly Simon, and you've got one very touching if not markedly unique story. Fraser is great as the slightly odd lovestruck suitor as is Going, who clearly portrays her struggle with losing the grip on her tough anti-emotion veneer as it starts to crumble under Fraser's enticing conviction. The lovely locale of San Antonio, TX also adds to the charm of this special film that will leave you wondering if one soul is truly destined to be, exclusively, with another.
beachrat-1 For those thinking this is a chick flick, my partner brought this to me because it resonates with our story so strongly. And he is a gun-totin', beer-drinkin', crude & rude redneck. Sometimes it does happen that there's an amazing connection between people who belong together but can't necessarily believe it, because of personal histories and all of the paraphernalia of "real life". And it takes one person to believe all the time, or two people each to believe enough of the time, to carry them through the parts where you just have to *trust* the other person and take the leap. That's really what this movie is about, to us, and it captures all of that just perfectly.
PolySciCo I enjoyed this film. Reality intertwined with destiny via "true love". We have to keep dreaming that love is out there eh?Actors portrayed parts well and the movie works.One I'd watch again.
Lumiere-5 Cynics and idiots have dismissed this movie as "unrealistic" or "a boring chick flick." Too bad. They just don't get it.This is a romantic comedy in the old style, where a lovable eccentric dreams of his one true love and goes to seek her out. Naturally, she turns out to be fallen woman with a heart of gold. Where in the twenties this might have lead to "zany comedy" this is more like a poem--soft and romantic and sweet. Visually, musically, emotionally it is beautiful--not stunningly beautiful like a sunset, but warm and beautiful and familliar like like a hidden garden you happen upon for the first time, sure you have dreamt about a place just like this. We would all like to believe (at least I hope we would) in true love.The folks who dismiss this movie are like the heroine, Ros: cynical, hard edged and business like, with no room for dreams or fantasies in their cold cruel realistic worlds. But in the end Ros gets it. She allows herself to dream and to believe. Pity those morons who don't.Movies aren't about "realism." They're about fantasy. This one rocks.
