Happy Accidents

Another sci-fi + comedy/romantic movie (after kpax) that makes me want to write (a quick) blog post about it - Happy Accidents (2000). Vincent D'Onofrio (Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket) has brilliantly played the role of a back traveler from year 2470, who is in love with Marisa Tomei (in 1999) and tryies to alter her life by saving her from a road accident . He believes she has died so , several times in her past lives. He also believes in Cheeseman theory of using a strong emotional jolt can alter the direction time and events (momentarily :). Anyways, I liked this movie of how it tries to tie these concepts -- romantic pesty relationship, spiritual (breaking out of cycle of previous lives), and scientific(wormholes for back tavel) in one beautiful story.

this movie is so pointless yet so gripping :) it reminds me of a discussion i had with a fren of mine about the terms 'coincidence' and 'pre-decided' ..thanks for sharing
