No. This movie will make her emotionally venerable, and make her love you more. If anything, that should be a major reason to see this movie! Expect lots of soppy hugs and loads of passionate sex.

oh yeah and just to re-clarify. i did like the movie. i definitely enjoyed it. it just confused me.. see below



ya funny

ok i will try.. yet again. it might come out better in written form i guess

here's my main source of confusion: the whole movie seems like a dream within a dream within a ..ok allow me to give an example (spoilers duh)

in the beginning right, you have this kid, walking around, lalala, sees the girl and suddenly you see like flashbacks/flashes of future.. on fast forward. TYPICALLY, this is like a dream or imagination or whatever, and then after its done, it snaps back to reality and something else happens (not according to the flashing plan).
So ok, you have this old guy (who now I was thinking is the dream version of the kid) and he goes takes a seat under pressure from those gov't dudes. now the house starts flying away on balloons. at this point i'm thinking "ok this has to be a dream, this guy is just dreaming he'll fly away, it'll flash back to the reality of him sitting down in the chair and something else will happen".. and keep in mind this "reality" of sitting down in a chair is in fact what i'm considering to be the kid's dream, so it is not, in fact, reality.

anyway that flashback doesn't happen either. and this goes on. the thing that makes this different from movies like toy story or something is that in this movie it's framed as within the realm of what the characters could conceivably dream about (this is the part that separates it from movies like transformers for instance, where i *know* it's just sci-fi or whatever)

so by the end of the movie i'm in like 6 different nested dreams that i'm expecting to come out of but then it never happens and the movie ends and im just left there sitting and staring at the screen, confused as hell, while others are like clapping or standing up or tearing up or whatever.

all i needed was a scene of the kid waking up from a dream at the end and it wouldn't be such a big mess!

i dont think this came out any clear over the internet. oh well

the thing that everyone else tells me is that "it wasn't a dream dumby" =x

I loved both movies. Wall-E was great, the part with the humans could have been a little better maybe.

UP was brilliant.
