Title: I CRY
Review: One Day is a beautifully crafted film that tugs at your heartstrings. The story follows Emma and Dexter over the span of 20 years, showing their lives on the same day each year. The chemistry between Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess is captivating, and their performances are heartfelt and genuine. The movie beautifully explores the themes of love, friendship, and missed opportunities. It’s a bittersweet story with a mix of joy and sadness, leaving you reflecting on the unpredictability of life and relationships. If you’re a fan of romantic dramas, this one is definitely worth watching.

Title: It’s A “Sparkling Day” – Elvis Costello
Review: This music soundtrack (Rachel Portman) with so many great songs from ‘Elvis Costello’, ‘Fatboy Slim’, and ‘Tears For Fears’, lends so much to the movie. It is as diverse as the two lead characters can be. Directed by Lone Scherfig (An Education), from the novel and screenplay written by David Nicholls, who always adds a great mix of music to her movies. We meet Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Dexter-“Dex” (Jim Sturgess) on the night of their graduation from their University in England. This is the night in which this unlikely couple gets together on the 15th of July, 1988. The time spent is full of awkwardness, so much so it is palpable to the viewer. They are so uncomfortable with each other until the point of resignation to remain platonic. At the time it is a good idea for the both of them although can it remain this way? A different sort of romantic film where we watch these two growing up into their adult lives and carving out their places in the world. Riddled with some twists and turns that are unexpected and then finessed making this not your usual fare. The friendship spans lofty decades during which the two faithfully get together every “One Day” of each and every year. This day always being July 15th, The Anniversary of Them.Emma being the more scholastic type with a well-rounded disposition, has a razor sharp wit and is very caring. Dex continues being more the extrovert with his dalliances with women and self-destructive behaviors. Something intangible remains with these two from that first night together, each intrigued with the other as he and she heads off in separate directions to lead their own lives continuing on until reaching July 15th once again. Dex takes a much more worldly approach to his employment, although briefly taking a position as an English teacher then quickly changing his course towards fame to the disapproval of his parents (his mother, portrayed by the always wonderful Patricia Clarkson, is more understanding of her son). Emma works in a dead-end job at a Tex-Mex restaurant where she meets her boyfriend, Ian Whitehead (Rafe Spall). Through thick and thin Dex and Emma carve out their lives during many years of pitfalls and meetings with each other while never losing track of the other. The timing never seems right for them to become a couple although the subject is flirted with every year, the ‘what ifs’ or ‘the maybes’. They help each other as much as hurt themselves by hiding their feelings. Could their relationship be that one special love of a lifetime? Should they take that gamble?This movie has been classed in the Romantic Comedy genre, although I maybe snickered a couple of times because of Emma’s quick razor-sharp retorts and sharp wit she does have a large store of. I would definitely say this is a drama containing lots of romantic leanings, loving gestures, and a total sweeping of ‘opposites attract’ that carries this couple along through the years. The whole premise of meeting every year on the anniversary date of their first meeting is overtly romantic. A subjective romantic movie, thus the scattered reviews from “I hate it” to “I love it”. I’ll take the latter.

Title: St Swithin’s Day and how one small incident can change lives.
Review: Much has been said about Anne Hathaway’s accent or lack of it. Just ignore it and enjoy the story. Anne and Jim Sturgess are perfectly cast as our two protagonists. But it is Jim Sturgess who brings just the right depth of emotionality to the role of Dexter that we, the viewer still like and root for him even when he is at his worst. Sturgess shows us how Dexter hides his feelings for Emma both from her and himself but doesn’t do it in an obvious way. Anne is the ideal Emma; she hides her disappointments with Dexter and doesn’t play her as the poor helpless heroine. Throughout the film Sturgess gives us small glimpses into why he and Emma still have an unbreakable bond. As the film progresses we see that Emma is Dexter’s anchor and we wonder why Dexter doesn’t see it.One of the major drawbacks of the film is that Nicholls wrote the screenplay from his own novel. Nicholls tries to crowd as many years as possible within the time allotted to the film. One could focus on the technical aspects such as the pace of directing, the costumes, etc but ultimately it comes back to the script. The writer has to decide which elements of the novel to emphasize and which elements to chuck out. Some years could have been either eliminated or condensed and some years should have been expanded. Unfortunately the viewer gets tired of seeing the calendar turn over. When Emma and Dexter meet in Paris there is not enough of the interaction between the two of them which explains why Emma makes the decision she does. The film has to be viewed as Dexter’s story as he is the one who undergoes more changes in his character. Although both characters have their highs and lows it is Dexter who falls the farthest but Emma rescues him. The film ends in the same way as the novel and in some ways it’s a little ambiguous.The rest of the cast is superb, especially Romola Garai who doesn’t reduce Sylvie to a caricature of a humourless human being. Patricia Clarkson as Dexter’s mother is ideal. Although we would like to have had seen more of Clarkson and Ken Stott as Dexter’s parents, but they don’t appear too often in the novel.One Day is not the traditional romance or romantic comedy; and the film should be enjoyed on its own terms. It succeeds on the level for which it was written.

Review: One Day starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess is a film which I would recommend to all those like to watch the romantics on the box. Not only was it a film which kept my attention throughout because of the wonderful script and the witty dialogue especially from Anne Hathaway and along with the wonderful acting from the other main character Jim Sturgess it really was an exceptional film which will be a favourite of mine for a long time to come.I know I do not have to say what the film is all about as the book is famous throughout the world but I can honestly say this DVD is worth purchasing as along with the wonderful film included in the DVD is extras which really are worthwhile watching. There is deleted scenes which I do believe should have been left in the film as they really added to the actual film as they included scenes from the hotel which were very funny but there is one scene particularly which showed how far down the main character Dex really fell before he realised what he was doing wrong with his life. Also there is interviews with the writer, main actors and those that made the film which really are worth watching.This is a film not just a love story between two characters developing over twenty years but it is also a film which showed two people who had to find their own identity before they actually found each other. Though they met every year through the twenty years they were apart it give each of them a glimpse of what they were missing in their lives but they had their own growing up to do which really affects everyone of us through the course of our lives and with some people it takes a lot of failing before they finally realise what they are good at and what they are missing in their lives.I loved everything about this DVD and maybe because I watched the film before I read the book meant I enjoyed it more than other people but I do not believe this is the case as the same author wrote the script as well as the main book.If you want a good film which you just want to relax with and not have to think too much about this is the film for you but I must warn you if you are anything like me have a box of tissues near hand as I do believe you will need them…

Review: Un jeune homme, une jeune femme au sortir de leurs études, se croisent, se trouvent mais n’allant pas au bout de l’histoire, décident de rester amis. Nous les suivont pendant 20 ans, tous les 15 juillet. Il serait dommage de dévoiler un peu plus l’intrigue de ce film pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas le roman(ce qui était mon cas). Pourtant, on ne peut pas ne pas parler de ce qui semble être la thématique pricipale de ce film, à savoir, les rendez-vous manqués. Une minute en trop ou en moins et c’est des destins qui basculent et empruntent un autre chemin. Ou d’un point de vue opposé, les choses doivent elles arriver au moment où elles arrivent car auparavant tous les ingrédients n’étaient pas réunis ? J’ai prêté ce dvd à une amie et nous n’avons pas eu la même lecture du film. Là où j’ai vu des rendez-vous manqués, une perte de temps à se perdre ailleurs avec d’autres, elle, elle y a vu l’importance de l’instant présent, le fait qu’il faut vivre certaine évênements avant d’être prêt pour franchir des étapes et que, quoi qu’il en soit, les choses se font lorsqu’elles doivent se faire.Deux sensibilités différentes, deux vécus très différents, l’une persuadée d’être passée à côté d’une partie de sa vie, l’autre vivant l’instant présent sans regrets de ce qui aurait pu être et ne s’est pas fait. Mais deux personnes qui ont aimé ce film et en sont sortie bouleversées.

Review: Im Gegensatz zu manch anderen RezensentenInnen finde ich die Verfilmung “Zwei an einem Tag” sehr gelungen. Es ist natürlich immer sehr schwierig einen Handlungsrahmen, der sich über mehrere Jahre hinzieht, in einem Film mit ca. 103 Minuten zu packen. Trotzdem finde ich es persönlich sehr gelungen, da die wichtigsten Schlüsselszenen darin enthalten sind. Vor allem die schauspielerischen Leistungen von Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess und Romola Garai sind meiner Meinung nach einfach genial.Kurz zum Inhalt (obwohl schon viel darüber geschrieben wurde):Nach der Examensfeier am 15. Juli 1988 kommen die zurückhaltende Emma, die schon lange in den umschwärmten Dexter verliebt ist, zusammen und verbringen die Nacht zusammen – allerdings nicht so, wie sich das Dexter zunächst vorgestellt hat. Auch den darauffolgenden Tag sind die beiden noch zusammen und nun bereit, das nachzuholen, was in der Nacht zuvor nicht passiert ist… Da laufen sie Dexters Eltern in die Arme.Nun erleben wir die darauffolgenden Jahrestage (15. Juli) der Beiden… Emma, die mittlerweile ihre literarischen und jounalistischen Träume begraben hat und in einem mexikanischen Billig-Restaurant arbeitet und Dexter, der eine steile Karriere als Moderator einer hippigen Sendung macht.Mittlerweile sind die beiden beste Freunde im platonischen Sinn und der 15. Juli ist “ihr gemeinsamer Tag”!Allerdings ändert sich im Laufe der Jahre einiges: Während Emma ihr Leben endlich in die Hand nimmt und ihrer inneren Berufung folgt, geht es bei Dexter eher bergab… und Emma beschließt nun endlich, nach etlichen Enttäuschungen, Dexter aus ihrem Leben zu streichen…Werden die Beiden noch eine gemeinsame Zukunft haben?Mehr möchte ich nicht verraten.Mich hat der Film so sehr bewegt, dass ich mir daraufhin das Buch gekauft habe. Und obwohl das Buch natürlich viel ausführlicher ist und der Film auch die ein oder andere Szene anders darstellt, kann ich auch den Film wärmstens empfehlen!
