i liked the film, i really did, mostly because it was close enough to reality--albeit the characters' twisted, darker, more damaged and guilty reality, which, although probably not to the same extent, everybody can relate to. whether it's the feeling of belonging or completion, or the physical gratification, or even the legitimacy it might give, it was basically a not-so-vanilla-love story. what i'm wondering now, though, is what you guys think about watching the film with a vanilla partner. Just to check out his reactions?
