...is probably the best I have ever seen. My favorite movie is the LOTR trilogy, but you can't really compare those two. FA is in a completely different category. I never found any movie as touching as this. I'm not gay, but I don't have a girlfriend either, I never really cared about that. But after watching FA, it was kinda difficult to fall asleep, and after I woke up, the first thought was about FA again. The movie made me thinking about my life and made me a bit sad. I just wish I would find love like those girls did.....

I think all of us felt like that when we saw it, and it's why we were all drawn to here.

I felt exactly like you! I could barely sleep in the night I had seen it. And the next day in school I just thought about the movie!

Yeah, it really surprised me, how much it influenced me. I mean, most of the movies I see, it's like I either do like it or don't like it, then forget it or remember it, maybe remember some scenes or quotes and think "Yeah that was funny.". This one is different. It's like this movie spreads out of its 90 minutes and invades my whole mind, stuck in there. I got to watch this again....
Last time I felt somehow similiar was after watching American Beauty, but this time it's really big. So I'm just surprised what a movie can do...

I've seen the movie this Sunday, and since then, I could not stop thinking about it.
I wrote a rough review for one of the Boards I frequently visit, and just started to rewrite it into something more suiting for the movie.
Pupils at school just stared at me, while I sat there and wrote.

I consider myself very interested in movies, I like to watch them, but no other movie ever had me think about it for some days, let alone a whole week.

And it so fucking Rocks, that German television shows Moodysons films. although my Maths-teacher would rather have me awake in his lessons. (Films start at 11 PM, and don't finish before 1 in the morning, wich is bad an the next day at school, but the movies are worth it.

I'm so proud of myself :P Since I 've got the copy of the movie over 10 people saw it and fall in love with it.There's no power no strenght to prevent You from simply giving all Your heart to this movie. :P
I'm addicted and I'm so happy about it.
"Teach me passion for I fear it's gone. Show me love, hold the lorn. So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me. I'm sorry. Time will tell (this bitter farewell). I live no more to shame nor me nor you. And you...I wish I didn't feel for you anymore..."

Yeah, the next 2 mondays I will look pretty messed up in school! :lol:


And to Sphinx: I also showed the movie to a couple of friends and they also loved it. I bet they would've never seen it, because not a lot people know it where I live but now most of them do! :)

its makes me curious to see how almost all members of the board share the same experiences..
when i saw it i could sleep fine, but the next day i woke up i also firstly thaught about the movie and when i went to school it was running in my head all the time, i felt consequently "bothered" by the movie ;)
one thing makes me a little angry, i couldnt talk to anyone about the movie because usually people around me dont watch such movies, a waste.

Exactly, I'm hate the fact I can't talk about it with anyone too. FA is one big miracle, just look how similiar all the experiences are. People can't sleep and get it out of their heads, guys wanna become lesbians....unbelievable.

Yeah, I don't think this is your typical movie, it's something really, really special, although if you clearly think about it it's just a normal movie. What a confusing world. :(
