*Partial spoilers. I'd recommend watching the first two films before reading this.* The tone of this film was different to the first in the trilogy. The first one was all about passion, energy, making a real connection, whatever, but this one was more melancholic. Their conversation was so unbelievably honest and I can see myself relating to what they thought about their lives in general. At the end of the day, it's just a romantic conversation reminiscing over what could've been, but it always had my attention. I learned more about the mistakes people make in life than I did about their romance. Not quite as good as I was hoping overall but still brilliant in many ways.

Nothing like I have ever seen. It's extremely ambiguous, in a good way. I don't know how it was even possible for a film like this to be made in the eighties. I didn't like it quite as much as I was hoping because the main themes of the film have been openly explored before. As sci-fi films go, however, this is one of the best for sure. I can't wait to see the sequel now.

While watching this masterpiece, I didn't quite catch the theme of obsession and the concept that it could be anyone, but it was still an utterly brilliant film. The layers and ideas that are implied from an ambiguous ending are just incredible. With a clearer understanding of this film I can easily see myself bumping this up to a perfect score on a rewatch.

Coincidentally I saw a video of an interview with Taika Waititi yesterday. He discussed his films and what he does differently. He mentioned that he likes to switch the tone of the film more drastically than a typical director. This was fairly evident in *Hunt For The Wilderpeople *and made it more of an unpredictable film. It was quite amusing and I enjoyed it. Unfortunately I think it is quite forgettable and I don't see myself being very moved by it over time.
