Chaos Theory

Director: Marcos Siega (2008) Starring: Ryan Reynolds & Emily Mortimer

Introducing Frank Allen. The story begins at the wedding of his daughter Jesse. The soon to be husband named Ed discovers some details about Jesse's whereabouts during a break-up on some odd date. With doubts of marriage, the soon-to-be groom tries to make an exit out through the kitchen. HELLO Mr. Allen lounging on a chair nearby. They sit down to have a little talk about Love.

I really did enjoy this movie. Reynolds Character as the organized, list-making & time efficent Frank Allen. Reynolds choice in characters sways from Van Wilder, Waiting, Adventureland, Buried, The Nines & well, this. He is quite a versatile actor. 

I enjoy the series of events in the movie. The chain reaction of 1 event opening up almost a pandoras box, or an unintentinal can of worms of following events. However, in this film--the chain of events are those of growth and discovery... For Frank Allen :)

What I liked the most about the movie was my ability to relate, not to me because my life has alway been disorganized, but for some close people around me. The desire to have everything in order and to stray from that path once and find themselves swirling through a mess of changes and revelations. They come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter how the past was written... or how things may be taken out of context...

There's a lot of things you just can't plan (or make lists for) so roll with the punches because you choose to shape the future once your thrown onto the beaten path. 

In Mr. Frank Allen's case... his perfect little life experienced a large hiccup. It took him quite a bit--actually, a majority of the movie to realize what was important to him. 

What I got from the film is that: Life is chaotic, no matter how we try to plan it out or organize it to our favor. Love, is thought to be one of the most chaotic things we encounter in life. However, it is actually the simplest thing. It is what slows down our lives enough so we finally enjoy every tender moment of it.

I also got some weird message... something about a life built upon lies is no life... but a life of lies is better than no life at all. Also a feeling that relates to the whole "home is where the heart is" but 'home' in this context is too specific for the feeling I was feeling. Like, The... lie is where... you make... the truth....

(?w?t?f) OK ANYWAY..... 

I don't want to discuss the movies plot whatsoever. Theres a few twists and turns, so its a map you have to route out yourself. (symbolically speaking)

Frank's Quote from the movie:

Ever heard of the Chaos Theory? It's a science.

It tries to determine underlying patterns
in chaotic systems:
 
Weather, ocean currents, blood flow,
that sort of thing.
  
Well, it turns out
that there are few things...
 
...more chaotic than the beat
of a human heart.
 
Speeding up, slowing down.
A pretty face, a flight of stairs.
 
It's always changing depending
on what's happening to us out there.
 
It's an erratic son of a bitch.

But underneath all of that bump-a-ta-bump
mess, there is, in fact, a pattern.
 
A truth.
  
And it's love.

The most important thing about love
is that we choose to give it...
 
...and we choose to receive it.
 
Making it the least random act
in the entire universe.
 
It transcends blood,
it transcends betrayal...

...and all the dirt that makes us human.

Soooo that quote kind of sums up my post here... CHAOS THEORY - DO WATCH.
