This movie was great! Especially if you have experienced a volatile (not in the sense of violent) but passionate relationship where everything seems to be too perfect so you convince yourself that there is no way it can work and there for no reason to try.

I found it extremely humorous, while watching the special features, that no one on the cast except for the director spoke about Romance or Romanticism in the sense that the movie was really trying to get to except the director & maybe Elijah Wood somewhat. The rest of the cast talked about the literal sense of it or what we normally think of when we are talking about romance. The favor, the flare, the granduer, in a love relationship context. The director explained on the other hand the period of time when poets were writing and yes in a very flashy, grand kind of way about freedom, about breaking away from the restriction of organized religion, and expressing ones self fully, and embracing life and what it had to offer. Something else I can really relate to. In the sense that I think we all have that feeling of throwing caution to the wind throwing away everything that is established and starting anew by building our own revolution. Then we get snapped back into reality and the fact that the revolution isn't free! ;)
