A very good movie

I already saw this movie but, since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, once again, I wasn't disappointed, that's for sure. I have to admit that I didn’t remember it in details (for example, I completely forgot that they actually ended up together, at least, it seemed to be the case) but I really loved the damned thing though. Indeed, 10 years later after its release, it is still pretty much one of the best love stories I have ever seen. First of all, the whole thing looked gorgeous and I wonder if Todd Haynes had been inspired by Edward Hopper's paintings since this movie reminded me of his work. Anyway, even though I admired the (few) movies I had seen so far directed by Haynes, it was the first time that he impressed me so much. Above all, I enjoyed even more the 2 main characters who were both so fascinating to behold.  It’s interesting because, the first time around, I thought that they were really developed but it didn’t really feel this way after this 2nd watch. Indeed, after all, you don’t really get to know them and I wish you actually saw them having a real conversation about, well, really anything. Of course, it was just amazing to see again Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mars, easily some of the best actresses around, working together and they both delivered some of their best performances I have seen so far. Interestingly, the first time around the only thing that slightly didn't work for me was the family drama in Carol's life but it didn’t bother me much this time. I understand that it was a struggle to be gay at the time but, even if we might have improved in this matter, there are still so many people around the world who can’t really be who they actually want to be. Anyway, to conclude, I thought it was a fascinating love story and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
