DVD REVIEW:
I understand that many
people are going to watch this movie expecting a romantic movie
about a couple who are having their share of difficulties.
Many people are expecting the typical love story that you see
from many movies but "12 Nights" is not of those movies.
This movie is a unique
story that goes into the faults of relationships and people who
have had relationships similar to the two characters are going
to have their eyes widened and think of their past relationships
and say..."My gosh...that's me!"
I have had similar relationships
with similar situations seen in this movie. In the beginning,
relationships are new and beautiful but sometimes with certain
people, it can be suffocating. How many times have you met
friends or even yourself ask the question of why do I need to
be in a relationship? What is it that I want? Why
is it when I say I love you, the person doesn't say it back?
As much as this movie
takes the negative aspects of relationships to make an anti-relationship.
This movie is not targeted in my opinion for people who are looking
for a relationship movie or a major plot. This movie is for people
who have experienced relationships such as these characters in
depth and during the movie you actually start thinking of the
past relationships that are similar to this movie and wonder if
you or that other person was a jerk.
This is not a movie
to watch if you just broke up with someone either. It's
one of those movies that after time has past, a good way to evaluate
your own past relationships and mistakes and see it on screen,
this time Cecilia or Eason is playing a part of you.
I think it's a film
that few will truly understand but that's ok. Hopefully
for those who didn't get it are doing a lot better in their relationships
than the characters in this movie.
As for the DVD, the
video quality looked good during the dark scenes. I really wasn't
keeping an eye out for artifacts though. The sound was typical
for a dialogue film. The DVD special features is typical
for other Universe DVD releases with information and trailers,
nothing major.
All in all, if you can
rent it, then rent it. But if your relationship mimics what
I have mentioned in this review or what you have read in the summary,
then this movie is probably worth the purchase.
THE MOVIE: B-
THE DVD EXTRAS: C-
THE DVD OVERALL: C+
