We watched a really interesting movie last night. It’s called Happy Accidents, and it’s about a woman (Marisa Tomei) who falls in love with a guy (Vincent D’Onofrio) who claims to be a time traveller from the year 2470. Netflix kept recommending it to me, so I figured what the hell. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. It was really good, and funny, and actually very suspenseful. I thought both Tomei and D’Onofrio were really good. She plays a woman with definite co-dependence issues, and even though he’s totally freaking her out with the time-travelling stories, he seems so earnest about it (not to mention she’s in love with him) that she can’t bring herself to break up with him.
I got so wrapped up in the story, I found myself really identifying with her struggle to decide whether or not to believe him. He’s a very likable character, and even though his claims seem absolutely asinine, I really wanted him to be for real. It definitely had me hooked.
Plus we got this gem out of it:
“Religion goes out of favor in 2037 when science discovers the gene that regulates fear.”
HA!
