Day Sixteen, or How Sappy Equals Happy!

In Peter FM, a radio DJ and a architect share a interesting relationship of almost meeting each other as the architect tries to return the DJ's missing cell phone. This movie was the happiest film we have watched this year, and that even includes The Irony of Fate. After 3 weeks of neutral to unhappy films, this film was a fresh change of pace, even if the ending left something to be desired.

I commend the film for skipping out on the cliche that the two are just going to instantly meet and fall in love. It seems more like they may be destined for a good friendship, at least until the ending scene. Also, the ending..... maybe it was just me, but I feel that the ending was just rushed, even more rushed then the characters who seem to spend a good time of the movie running from place to place, frantically trying to meet each other.

I enjoyed Masha as character very much. She seemed down to earth, but at the same time also seemed to still have her inner child, if the scene at the gate is any indication. The rest of the characters, in particular Maxim, were just a boor to me. The cinematography was neat in how the camera was able to at times make it feel like this was almost more a movie about the city then about these two individuals.

Also, Masha is surrounded by loving couples in every place she goes. I think it makes her want love, but she doesn't want the kind of love that her fiance was giving to her.
