Little between Dell and Kimberly unfolds in a traditional manner. I really don’t know what to believe anymore because all of those theories seems true to me. And one wishes “Comet” tells the story of six years of a relationship between Dell (Long) and Kimberly (Rossum) in intercut scenes of its biggest moments—meet-cute, break-up, get-back-together, break-up, etc. In the movie Coherence, we see the perfect example of this.

Right? So there you have it, I have given you some theories that you can take or leave. But, most of the time, it is saying it. I completely dig the intricate inner workings of a few people sparring intellectually. I realize I'm not answering your question, but truth is, I don't know. Esmail has created two wholly original, quirky, but somehow normal characters that Rossum and Long bring to life beautifully. Is the implication that, since this movie is clearly stated as taking place in a universe other than our own, in our universe, they are together?". :).

Until he realizes that Kimberly is lying to him. Learn how your comment data is processed. Non-periodic comets.

A group of friends are at a party. Out of the question.

Comet is a remarkably compelling existential film that explores the nature of love, art, and dreams. Or whether you just simply believe that after all they have gone through they both have shared history and shared care for one another that will survive the inherent entropy. Emmy Rossum and Justin Long joined the cast of the film in early June 2013 to play the lead roles. He ends up walking off trying to convince himself that he doesn't want to be with her and I think she finally see's that he really means it when he says he loves her. | So what's your theory? He channels the fast-talking portrait of someone you might find in an Aaron Sorkin or David Mamet script, infused with a minor shot of Kevin Smith’s pop culture wit, wrapped around a neurotic emotional center. She storms off saying that he almost had her. But we never got that scene. moments—meet-cute, break-up, get-back-together, break-up, etc. And he suggests that Kimberly should get her back, which, initially, she tried to do right away but Dell called her on it. Where I was with you and you were with me. After meeting by chance at a meteor shower, pessimist Dell and insightful Kimberly begin a six-year journey through a relationship that blossoms and fades over time. Comet worked hard to explain itself from within the context of the movie.

And even the dual suns denoted this fact. It is snapshots and shotgun blasts of emotion hurled against the canvass to give us a pastiche and panorama of their love and relationship. He refuses to let her pass him by. Simultaneously, it raises questions about the nature of love, life, and truth, all disguised in an semi-conventional love story told in the most unconventional of ways. Another thing to take into consideration is the title of the movie, comet, and how this entire movie is a metaphor. Interview with The Devil All the Time Scribe Paulo Campos!! Right?

And it is Dell’s intensity and desire to belittle Kimberly’s date that connects them together and eventually we see them run off together at the end of this particular evening.
