Earlier this week, I saw that First 50 dates was in trouble on Netflix and I thought I would try it for an old weather. Complete disclosure, I really wanted to soak on it because I have not watched the film since the cover of the “Song Love” of 311 for the soundtrack of the soundtrack of MTV2, when the chain still played music a little regularly.
The reason why I wanted to soak First 50 dates, Are you asking? I remembered that the premise was a bit frightening because Henry Roth by Adam Sandler (who looks like a serial killer name for a show like Criminal minds) Basically, deceives a woman who can as well be Leonard Shelby Memento By loving it, except that it is not covered with self -proclaimed prison tattoos to remind them of its memory loss.
Now, here is where I take my songs and I admit that I am wrong because, like Lucy Whitmore by Drew Barrymore, my memory of the film was corrupted over time, and First 50 dates is actually healthy like hell.
I was wrong, so long, and thank you for all the fish
In any other context, First 50 dates would not work because it is a story on Henry Roth, a feminizing marine veterinarian who directs a train on tourists visiting Oahu, Hawaii because he fears commitment. When he performs on Lucy at the Café de Sue (Amy Hill), they immediately struck and engage in the type of flirt that you expect to perform on a waffle architecture and elaborate coffee. Absolutely struck by Lucy, Henry is ready to finally commit to the woman of her dreams, except that there is a problem: Lucy was in a car accident a year earlier and suffers from anterograde amnesia.
In other words, Lucy remembers the events of her life that lead to her accident, but her new post-accident memories have endeavored every night when she fell asleep.
Desperate to win Lucy every day, Henry sets up developed scenarios that look like fortuitous meetings with her so that he can get her attention and try to win her affection. To ask her to help relaunch his car to the staging of a scene to look like his best friend Ula (Rob Schneider) assaulting her so that she comes to her rescue (one of the funniest scenes of First 50 dates), Henry manipulates Lucy and takes advantage of his memory loss so that he can continue her unilateral relationship with her in these less ideal circumstances.
This kind of obsession could be considered problematic in any other film because Henry has been said to stop pursuing Lucy, but he continues to do it anyway with little or no respect for damage to her psyche. But for any reason, it works in First 50 dates.
First 50 dates do not work without Lucy’s family
At the beginning, Lucy’s father, Marlin (Blake Clark), and his older brother and in Gorge de Roid, Doug (Sean Astin), are protective of Lucy, and for a good reason. Not wanting to shock Lucy with the news she saw on the day of her accident (Marlin’s birthday) in rehearsal because she cannot train new memories First 50 datesMarlin and Doug go to extreme efforts to protect it by eating a pineapple cake every day, watching the same football match and ending at night watching Mr. Night Shyamalan’s The sixth senseWhich surprises Lucy with its torsion ending each time, even if Marlin and Doug probably want to go out each time because they already know what happens.
It was at this time that I changed my heart First 50 dates Because everything comes down to this Rom-Com that I may have been a little too hard retrospectively before moving on to my second vision.
Of course, it is spoiled that Marlin and Doug lie to Lucy every day, but they do it for healthy reasons that I suspect that someone would try to do if he had the resources (and 500 copies of the same newspaper to maintain the cunning). First of all at the origin of Henry’s advances, Marlin realizes that Lucy is much happier every time Henry is there, and allows him to try a new method that takes a little less time because Henry is right – a day later, Lucy Will Will Finally, note that everyone is aging, and it will have to face its memory loss by more practical means.
Opting to make new video bands for Lucy every day First 50 datesHenry is 100% dedicated to removing sorrow all morning and catching it with current events so that they can live their lives together and advance the relationship, which has a positive effect on his memory.
One of the best Rom-Cocs Adam Sandler
I said in the past that my mileage for Adam Sandler varies from one film to another, but when he is in the “sympathetic goofball” mode without going too much at the top, he knows how to do the work. I also cannot blame the guy for having cracked the code in the form of hiring all his friends to play in films with him in beautiful places, because as long as he is considered “work”, he can do whatever he wants.
I apologize for having gone to look First 50 dates with the intention of tearing it into tatters. In any other context, the whole of memory loss “someone taking advantage of a woman’s memory loss for her own selfish gain” would fall flat because he essentially tracks someone with a mental handicap. But thanks to the family and friends of Lucy, and to the sincere place where Henry’s progress come from, I must admit that I was wrong, and there is nothing scary in this film.
I am not saying that you should stop and help a stranger who has his sweater cables in the middle of the night, because it has the potential to be dangerous (and they should be an adult functional with an AAA membership, let’s be real), but you will be completely sure streaming in safety in safety First 50 dates On Netflix in the comfort and privacy of your own house.
