Warranted my attention the moment I saw him. Capt. Danny Walker in Pearl Harbour, SSgt. Matt EversmannHe in Black Hawk Down and again Matthew in Wicker Park. There seems to be something intriguing behind that pair of smoky, deep set eyes of his. Totally captivated. Absolutely swooned.
Wicker Park, a story about a young Chicago advertising executive, who believes a woman he sees in a cafe is his long-lost love. His conviction leads to obsession, as he puts his life on hold to trail her.
Initially, I thought it was just another die-hard-romantic kinda show. But I was wrong. It was a mixture of romance, a tinge of suspense and a dazzle of drama that kept you guessing all the way. Was totally blown away with my brain spinning uncontrollably but rather pleasurely I must say. Full of astonishing reverses and switchbacks. If you pieced the chain of events together, you realised how convicted and obsessed one can be. Sometimes, love just makes you loses the rationality to do things that are beyond your own perception and acceptance level.
Found out that Wicker' is a remake of the 1996 French film, `L' Appartement. Hmm, I would very much love to watch the French version. Anyone?
And oh, by the way, the cute guy here is Josh Hartnett.
