Relationship Status: It's Complicated

Dear bloggie,

Watched alot of nice mobies lately... Tis is a great local one I just watched....



Acting was acceptable, theme interesting and script awesome....

"When historians of the future look back at the 21st century there's no doubt in my mind that social networking will be one of those great inventions that they will claim changed the landscape of civilization. They will look at viral marketing and say how it changed the landscape of advertising. They will look at Obama and talk about how it won an election. They'll look at Egypt and comment how it overthrew a government. The act of sharing information on facebook & twitter has changed the way we communicate with each other. And by doing so, it changed the way we form relationship with one another as well as how we react when those relationship dissolve. Take the relationship status in facebook for example, we can tell the entire world whether or not we're single, in a relationship, engaged, married, divorce, widow or whatever we want. We can even tell the world it's complicated... But here's my question, isn't every relationship complicated?" - David, Relationship Status

Tis is awesome writing in my book... Anyway, wat I like about the movie is besides the script is the issue on how modern day relationship has been affected by social networking. It raises some valid point on both the pros and cons of social networking. Midway through the film it raises a question:

"When a relationship is ruined due to social networking... Can we really blame it on social networking?"

My thought was perhaps rather inline with the conclusion of the movie... Which is social networking is just a platform/technology/tool. If there's one to fault, the first one we should look at is our self.

I also like is while each character has their own relationship story, they were sorta linked to each other indirectly like a social networking web (A fren of a fren etc). Sorta cool since it's after all a film on social networking.

While I sorta think the movie could be better with some better cinematography (Some really odd camera angles). Overall a great and steady movie. A recommended watch.
