Today I watched a Movie -a Drama- with Clare Danes (playing Mirabel), Steve Martin (playing Ray Porter) and Jason Schwartzman (playing Jeremy) called ShopGirl. There was just so many parallels between the what the characters were going through, and the things happening in my life. In terms of the pain of letting go that is, as we all know I have no love life to speak of lol, ah yes, the joke is on me folks.

 I found it to be quite a good movie. Ive always liked Clare Danes, ever since Romeo and Juliette and My So Called Life, a series which aired on foxtel for awhile. Shes just so genuine and real in her acting, if not slightly too awkward in this role but I guess that is how they wanted to portray her.

 It may have been on regular tv too I cant remember (My So Called Life, that is). It was really interesting to see Steve Martin do a serious role, but he did it so well, playing the experienced older man who seemed to know what he wanted, then wasnt sure, then made the wrong decision. He decided that she deserved to know that he had slept with someone else even though they werent committed, which basically destroyed their relationship, but then they rekindled it (me thinking, NO DONT TAKE HIM BACK, the other guy likes you!), only for him to tell her he didnt love her later on. Then realised when it was too late that he did infact love Mirabel (Clare Danes).

 Ironically the younger guy Jeremy, did know what he wanted, but didnt have the skills to get it until later in the film, it was like he caught up to Mirabel maturistically-is that a word? I think it might be. In the end poor old Ray was left alone and Mirabel and Jeremy had a really great relationship. It seemed to be a question of timing more than who was right for who. I think it would have been a great twist if the guys had gotten together...jokes. But of course as she is attractive so I think all the viewers, well, the younger viewers anyway, would probably want to see her with the guy her own age. So, not so much a case of figuring out who is the "soul mate", I think realistically we all have many people we are suited to, and particularly in this day and age its really not realistic to think youd be with one person your whole life, but it remains an ideal in our minds somehow. It is who is right at what time, more movies should say that. It is a slightly offbeat movie and a shame it wasnt really famous or infamous, as I think a lot of people would have enjoyed it.

 

So, in summary.

Girl gets guy, girl gets another guy, girl gets rid of the first guy, girl gets rid of the second guy, girl goes back to the second guy, first guy hooks up with her friend thinking it is Ray and Mirabel doesnt find out, then later girl goes back to the first guy. Or something to that effect.
