Subject: (spoiler) Deja Vu

I didn't post a write up when I went to Red Rock last Tuesday night when I
returned from Florida and saw The Departed.. It was a great film. But I
was not so compelled as I was with Deja Vu starring Denzel Washington as I
was with The Departed. I just returned from Texas Station watching it.
Ironically, for a serious drama film, it got more laughs than most
comedies.
I thought Deja Vu was way better and left me with so many questions. I
hope to get a discussion about it someday.
The main question is; "how will Claire Kuchever ever prove to ATF Agent
Doug Carlin what happened?" Weird shit.

Razzo,
What if I had something to tell you that is the most important thing in
the world, but I know you wouldn't believe me...
What would you do?

That was a great line, and a key line, in Deja Vu.
I've been thinking about it all day, but will wait to give you views of
what happens if there was, er.., let's say, a Deja Vu II.
Bill Marsilii & Terry Rossio did an excellent job on cutting the loose
strings on this screenplay.

I took my ex-wife and an old friend of ours that was in town visiting her.
We talked about the film earlier today. She just called me and told me she
heard the quote on a TV show. This is basically what it is;
"What if you had to tell someone the most important thing in the world,
and you knew that they would never believe you?"
Time to drop a name. I may have posted this in the past. Our (her) friends
name is Jeanne Gangami, widow of the late Sam Gangami. In the early 80's
we met this couple at one of our first apartments and became good friends.
Sam was a cook at the Desert Inn Hotel (now Wynn.) He was the personal
cook for Tony Orlando. When their 4th child was born, a boy, named Danny,
in 1987, Sam and Jeanne asked my wife to be the kids godmother. They asked
Tony to be the godfather. We went to Danny's christening. We partied all
night with Tony and his wife.
In the late 90's the Sam and Jeanne moved to Branson, Missouri.
Good times in Vegas, the 80's.

I agree. But somehow this movie, which I liked immensley, left me wanting
more from it. I wanted to know more about Claire. Who she was and why her
apt. had what seemed like a key roll(almost a character) was not used
more. I can't explain it, it just left me wanting a litle more character
wise. Not to mention the bad guy. He just pops up from nowhere and very
little background given. His character did work ands was very effective.
But it would have been better, imho, to know a little more about him other
than just a freak against the world.
just my thoughts.

I feel the apartment was the key 'character' as you so accurately put it.
I also wanted to know more and see more of the twist at the end.
The bad guy Carroll Oerstadt (Jim Caviezel, who was Jesus, The Passion of
the Christ (2004) was a very weirdly played character.
What did you think of the feasibility of that software? What was the
peripheral software called in the customized Hummer? Where he was looking
through and driving through two time zones? Awesome.
GREAT FILM!

As is typical of Jerry B, the driving scene was great. In fact, I think he
took it to higher level with this particualr scene. very creative and well
done. That said, the logistics of it brought it down a peg. But, like I
said, Bruckheimer blows that away with the action.
The time travel software/equipment did nothing for me to be honest. I was
expecting much better. It WORKED, just not on the level I was thinking it
would be. Best part was when he somehow thought the laser pointer would
have an effect on the past. Great move...but how could he even imagine
that would happen given how new he was to this whole thing.?
The tech guy with the beard?...Just awesome. Is he related to JB somehow?
He's been in a lot of his flicks and is always top notch.

No. Did you see the size of the explosion? There wouldn't be a trace of
human remains.
What is weird is that Agent Carlin didn't tell her he time traveled.
