This movie's concept was genius.


The entire movie is a series of videoscreen conversations.
Any other movies they've done something like this in?

Yeah, I agreed. It's a very unusual but attractive concept.

I, too, thought it was genius. Totally unusual. I was intrigued. And once you open yourself up to this unusual style, you experience something totally unusual.

Fantastic piece of art!

Everyone can't be straight. Everyone can't be beautiful. Everyone can't be the same.

I just finished watching Thomas In Love, and I have to agree with you that the concept of videocalls throughout the whole film was brilliant, but the thing that annoyed me.. but completely and utterly bugged the hell out of me was I actually wanted to see what Thomas looked like, and I wanted to see how his first interaction with Eva would have been, the first touch the first everything! The movie in itself I feel is incomplete. But all in all its an awesome movie.

Good Day Sir

I SAID GOOD DAY!!

I absolutely loved how the film was done entirely from his perspective. More specifically, from his physical space in front of the videoscreen. After a period of not seeing anything from any other frame of reference, I really began to feel like I was in his place, that I was experiencing his life...it was immersive and suffocating. I felt like the interactive computer technology was an extension of myself and a trap. I loved it.
