Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Love Kumar Obviously we all have seen hundreds of movies when someone is counting his last days. This one is not what anyone can expect.Watch it from heart, believe in writer and director and try to listen the message in movie. It can change your life. Its sad, funny, refreshing, keep you hooked till last minute and takes your entire night thinking on it.Special movies are not for everyone. If you are little depressed, lonely, missing something in life other than money, the message in movie will teach you life. Take my suggestion, watch the movie and see if you are like all others or different.

MBunge This film is like a children's fable that forgot it's supposed to have a moral.The movie begins with Melody Wilder (Saffron Burrows) having the worst day of her life. Her doctor tells her she has cancer and will be dead in two months, then she loses her job and finally, her boyfriend breaks up with her. So Melody abandons her crappy basement apartment, takes all her money out of the bank and decides to live like there's no tomorrow. For Melody, that weirdly involves living like a hermit in an expensive penthouse loft and buying a lot of stuff over the phone. Two delivery people fall in love with Melody. One's a man and one's a woman but neither of them have any reason to quickly fall into bed with Melody. Capping it all off, Melody buys and learns to play a guitar like the one she was fascinated with as a child, which we see in repeated flashbacks to her unhappy childhood living with her bickering hippie parents over a music store. As for the rest of the plot, I don't want to give it away…but have you ever heard the story about the guy who was told he had 6 months to live, so he spent all his money and ran up huge bills on his credit cards because he's never have to pay them back? If you remember the twist to that story, you know what happens in The Guitar.Writer Amos Poe seems to have come up with a script that is completely oblivious to its own meaning. The story of Melody is about freeing yourself from the chains that are holding you down, an ignorant desire for fulfillment, the perils of self-indulgence and the tempting appeal of the strange and unknown. This screenplay doesn't even acknowledge of that. It doesn't demonstrate or explore why Melody is a timid, tiny person before her diagnosis. It can't recognize how pathetic it is for someone to spend their last days on Earth catalog shopping. It fails to understand why someone might be truly attracted to someone in Melody's circumstance and how and why that attraction would wither away. It's even unable to fathom the lesson that either Melody or the audience is supposed to get from this film. The Guitar is like the work of a color-blind painter who makes the sky yellow and the sea black and the ground pink without knowing that he's doing it.Director Amy Redford gives us a textbook example of the congenital flaw in the modern filmmaker. Individual images in The Guitar look nice, yet none of them flow together or add up to anything. Redford might be able to make good commercials or, given the large number of montages in this movie, great music videos. She doesn't give any indication she has the slightest idea how to tell a story visually, however.Saffron Burrows spends a great deal of the film in her birthday suit, though we quite strategically never get a good look at her breasts. Whether she's clothed or not, Burrows manages to summon up a grand total of two expressions for her entire performance. She either looks anguished or befuddled. She never even blends the two. It's like someone switches her from one setting to the other. None of the other actors have a chance to show they can do anything more than exactly what the director tells them to do. We do get to see one of Paz de la Huerta's boobs and are thankfully spared the sight of any man ass.It wouldn't be completely accurate to say The Guitar is a bad movie. It is aggravating and perplexing because you keep expecting the film to have a point and it never does, despite everything about the story indicating that it should. Unless you enjoy being exasperated, don't pick up The Guitar.

english-express just finished watching it on cable TV.dding't have a clue what would it be,but loved!just loved!It's always surprising to see how women,generally speaking,react towards the hardships of life.in one single day,Melody get's fired and dismissed by her boy friend-not to mention that in the same day she was diagnosed with cancer and a month to live.The director chose the winter landscape to sum up the tragedy,the lack of any possible sense life can be,the despair... the actress (Burrows) offers us a superb acting,especially when she's suffocated by the weight of her existence,and her pain.Outstanding.When she decides to abandon her terrible living quarters and goes to a loft,she is ready to enlarge her limits,her boundaries .she needs then beautiful artifacts ,and she buys them.Roscoe and Cookie become part of her cure.the guitar was her long dream,buried in the past and finally she gets it.it could be a pet or a child,but for her was the guitar.probably is a female's film and not to be seen with glasses of moralism.loved the direction,the photography,the plot,the acting.

celine285 A lot of people dislike this movie, judging the main character's actions because it wasn't a mainstream one, citing it as pointless and superficial. But you really have to take it for what it is or look a little bit deeper to appreciate it though. No it's not an Oscar worthy indie flick, but it does show a lot of hidden realism and lessons particularly the ones that we don't always notice.The rundown: In one day, she's told she has one month to live from cancer to the throat, gets dump pathetically by her boyfriend and is let go from her job of four years. Melody than rents and expensive loft and shops with her credit cards like there is no tomorrow. She gives up on her vegetarian diet and has affairs with two unavailable people, both of different sexes. But more importantly she spends every waking hour she has when she's not shopping, sexing, or eating dedicated to learning and playing the guitar she's always wanted and even resorted to stealing as a child.In any other movie, she would either find religion, see her family and friends or fly off to Paris, do drugs and party, but instead she hides, she doesn't even want to deal with the world. Instead, she let happiness come to her in the form of materialism she never knew was there, as well suitors (yes, they approached her) – and it was great to see her happy. But it wasn't due to the carelessness spending or multiple partners, but due to her own gratification, she was happy because she let herself be, because she was pleasing herself, throwing away the social constraints and expectations, but in a realistic and passive-aggressive way only the news of 3 sucking news could bring. During all this, I was impress with Saffron Burrows's ability to have her character maintain her emotions to the people around her but at the same time express them to the audience.(SEMI-SPOILER ALERT)The one thing about this movie, it has a happy ending, it's scientifically unrealistic sure, but the meaning constructed from it is more important to see: Melody is brought back to reality and learns that life goes on outside of her bubble, people will always leave, your childhood will always be a part of you (the guitar is her rosebud), you will always have debt, you will always have to live by society standards, but you are the only one truly able to make yourself happy.
