12/7/2022 0 Comments 50 first dates movie plot![]() Of course, all the above assumes that Lucy goes through a perfect reset every morning, which the plot tells us is not the case. Maybe Henry could even configure/program the day’s memories for Lucy depending on what activity he is planning for that day, leaving out memories that he knows won’t be needed. ![]() Over time, some pieces will have to be prioritized over others, while others will have to be removed.Īll of this is going to be a full time job for someone else, who’ll have to act like her real memory bank. Lucy will also always be dependent on someone else, as she will never be able to learn any new skill such as a new piece of technology or take up a new job.Īny skills that she already has, wouldn’t improve with practice and will essentially plateau.įinally, there is the practical concern of compression of memories over a long period of time.įor Lucy to be even close to functional, she will have to ingest a large amount of memories every morning. If this assumption is broken, there is no way for Lucy to verify if she had really consented to all this, which is reminiscent of the ‘living-in-a-simulation’ problem. There is a very fundamental assumption here that if the Lucy of yesterday consented to all this, then the Lucy of today and all future days must also consent to it, since they do not ‘know’ of each other. It also raises doubts around consent for things that have permanency for more than a day and affect Lucy personally.įor example, towards the end we see that Henry has married her, and she has two children with him. This essentially means that Lucy will relive every single happy or sad ‘memory’ every single day, for the rest of her life. ![]() Say Lucy’s Father dies, so this ‘event’ will have to be added to the list of all the new ‘memories’ that Lucy goes through every morning. Unlike Groundhog, it is the person who is repeating the day who is unaware of it, while everyone else around them is.įirst, this means that, all the actions have real consequences. Personally, I think that 50 First dates raises far more interesting questions than Groundhog Day ever did. When he tries to meet her the next day, he realizes that she has no recollection of him.Īfter further digging around he realizes that she has a mental condition that causes her brain to reset every day, unable to make any new memories.Īfter meeting Lucy’s Brother and Father, he finds out how she was in an accident that caused an injury, and how they must keep pretending that it’s that same day everyday for the rest of her life.Īfter making him aware of the extent of the charade they put up, he is asked to leave her alone.īut he’s still really in love with her, so he decides to make her fall in love with him every day. Henry is a Walrus researcher in Hawaii, who falls in love with a woman named Lucy at a diner. What matters though, is if the film truly develops the idea or simply uses it as just another plot device to spin out your usual rom-com. ![]() That it does this while combining projectile walrus puke and Rob Schneider in a major supporting role is an achievement not to be sniffed at.Featuring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, 50 First Dates is an interesting variation on the Groundhog Day trope. That's two for two - maybe they should make all their movies together.įor 50 First Dates pulls off what all romantic comedies strive for but few achieve - making you care about the characters and root for them to be together, rather than despise them as moony, self-satisfied gits. Thanks to her, this is a surprisingly warm, funny and often quite touching film that recalls the sly charm of The Wedding Singer, her last pairing with Sandler. From this point on the movie is illuminated by a superhumanly adorable performance from Barrymore who thwarts the crass bum notes, ludicrous premise and even Sandler's infantile goo-gooings with a charm offensive of thermonuclear proportions. Not only does he fall instantly in love with her, but so do we. On paper, this high concept rom-com - apparently a Hawaiian-set date-movie dumbing-down of Memento - is standard-issue Sandler, complete with gross-out gags, casual misogyny, caricature supporting players and, of course, Sandler himself, whose wheedling man-child act is in danger of wearing thin these days.īut despite dire prognostications, when Sandler spots Barrymore building a teepee out of her breakfast waffles and puts his serial-shagger moves on her, well-honed as they are on the gullible tourists, something strange happens.

Manchester duo The KVB say yes. Great songs abound, including the gently rocking "Just When I Thought" and the dusty title track, but there's real magic on "Darkness to Light" where Doiron's voice dances with Michael Feuerstack's spectacular pedal steel playing. Inhabiting a similar space and feel is Doiron's voice which often spectacularly takes flight but is also vulnerable and always just on the edge of breaking. It's messy but as expressive as any virtuoso solo. The playing on "How Can We," is like someone searching for the right way to articulate their feelings, to decide to trust someone again. Made with Daniel Romano, Ian Romano and Dany Placard, there is a lived-in quality to these songs that leans toward the twangy. This is a fragile, wobbly kind of twang, though, where the guitars bend out of tune in beautiful ways. I Thought of You is an easygoing, charming, start-to-finish treat. "There was never a plan, no need to explain / and here I am, starting over again," Julie Doiron sings on "You Gave Me the Key," the opening track on her first solo album in nine years. It's a love song, but it also feels like a status update on her recording career. Doiron, who you may know from Canadian greats Eric's Trip, has stayed busy since 2012's So Many Days - including reuniting with Mount Eerie, making albums with Daniel Romano, and with members of Cancer Bats and Eamon McGrath as Julie and The Wrong Guys - but this is the first with her name front and center and she slides back in like no time has passed.
