Movie Reviews of The Last Kiss (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Well done movie - and warning signs from the real world
Summary: 5 Stars
Many of the reviews listed here are quite well stated. I wanted to add a specific comment, one that some people are not going to like: This movie is a good illustration of the troubling state of mind of the American Woman. A few of the female characters in this move exhibit the now all too common undesirable traits of many American women - overbearing, self-centered, affected, manipulative, insecure, and most importantly untruthful to themselves. Untruthful to the point they pursue a meaningless definition of happiness & perfection (albeit heavily influenced by American media and too much corporate marketing) at the expense of eroding relationships, alienating males, and abandoning self-respect and honesty to their own hearts. Many American women, now more than ever, have lost the notion of what is truly important. And for those who have not lost sight, many are still unable to pull themselves away from the gravity of their fantasy ideals and goals long enough to consistently pursue the truly important things in life.
The main female character uses an unplanned pregnancy as a gambit to force her boyfriend into a commitment he was not ready for. In fact she simply moved forward without his agreement as if to presume he would "come around" to her perspective - which is to say she exhibited virtually no respect for his perspective and his involvement. His fling with the brunette was not wrong, but it WAS incompatible with the main character's master plan. It's what he needed to do, it's what he needed to determine if the commitment was what he wanted & what he's ready for. But she doesn't want to hear this. As if choosing to not hear something means it doesn't exist or will go away. All of this is painfully accurate. American woman have an ever increasing tendency to not recognize men's needs. Only their own. Men are not a priority, only a means. Men are not important, only an annoyance. Warning signs.
The honorable characters in this movie are:
- Josh, the main character who, while his timing is not compatible with his girlfriend's unilateral master plan, follows his heart knowing that he has to form a commitment based on desire and not obligation. He suspects his wife-to-be suffers from this malady - societal pre-programmed mindless obsession to pursue to her own fantasy dream. At all costs. Bottom line, he attempts to commit to her, however it's unclear if she accepts. If she does, what is clear is that she's not worth him. If she doesn't accept him, then we can only hope that she realizes she's not been honest with him & their relationship wasn't strong enough to build a positive family upon. Let's hope. Better figure that out at the beginning, before life long commitments, than to pretend and move forward.
- the older wife who separates from her husband because it doesn't work for her & hasn't worked for her for years. Honesty. Communication. Better late than never.
- the architect Chris who decides to leave his wife because they constantly argue. His actions are the best timed & the least confrontational since he chooses to tell her before he attempts something else. His story is in contrast with Josh's which serves to illustrate that the right thing to do is still the right thing, even if the timing is bad.
This movie says when the chips are on the table, women have virtually no regard for men, and they will use any means necessary. True colors. This is consistent with the experience of many American men. Women are increasingly using anger and violence as tools to manipulate. The movie demonstrates this. Sex is used as a lever to steer outcomes that they prefer. There isn't much regard for men - everything revolves around themselves. It also illustrates how men really can't be honest with American women and can't express themselves to American women, for if they do and it doesn't fit within the American women's dream world and her definition of the perfect man, women resort to their tools of intimidation & coercion and/or create a life of misery for men.
Seriously, why would any guy want to be around such insanity? A guy worth his weight wouldn't. Most guys just don't know better, so they do. And they are miserable. The right path is often the hardest, the toughest, the most painful, the scariest.
If you think Love is a feeling, you have some things to learn. Your feelings are not important to anyone else but you. If you think of Love as actions, then you know. It's only actions, what you do for someone else, that matters. And the actions American women take towards men prove they often actually aren't in Love with them.
