Ruby Sparks

In their way to Big Sur, when they stop a while near the sea and leave the car, Ruby is carrying a purse.

Immediately later, when they are playing "who kills the other first" you can see no purse at all.

As Calvin writes the last page of the book, he writes "She was no longer Calvin's creation.

" in a new line.

The next time we see the page in the typewriter, the line starts with "no longer.

When continuing to write on a page with the typewriter, the main character inserts the page the wrong way.

When Calvin is telling his psychiatrist the story he started to write, you can see his shirt sleeves folded in different ways, depending on where the camera is.

Right at the beginning, where Paul is talking to his friend, there are two other people at the right side, training on the stepper.

After the camera swaps, the two people from the stepper are now at the treadmill.

When Calvin and Ruby are having a conversation by the pool, Calvin is eating a burger; during the last shot the burger is intact while in the previous ones it is seen semi-eaten.

Calvin Weir-Fields (Paul Dano) is struggling with writer's block. One day he finds romance by writing his female love interest Ruby Sparks (Zoe Kazan) into existence.

I don't like love and romantic movies . they make me sick.

I may be a bit biased as I have very fond nostalgic memories watching this film but I do think it's an amazing film! I remember very clearly going in to watch a special preview screening of this and being blown away from the screenplay to the performances, the music by Nick Uratas, the direction and the visual style.

I thought this was fantastic! Great script, I was so immersed into Calvin's character.

Well after a long time i saw a movie which has some meaning. It has Fun, Drama, Romance, & Family.

Zoe Kazan's perfect story is translated to the screen in a film which may not quite be to everyone's taste - it is unashamedly romantic - but is good enough to get you thinking so many things about human relationships, not least the idea that to love something is to set it free. And the basis of this magical film is the development of seeing something you have dreamed of and written about come real.

If you could create a person out of nothing, if you built them from the base upwards like some kind of demigod, what would you do with this power? That's the intriguing dilemma set by this film, as an anti-social nerdish author with no friends apart from his dog, brother and psychiatrist finds the new novel he's writing about the woman of his dreams becomes a little too real when she appears in his house one morning.

The least interesting thing about this film is the ordinariness of it. Any screenwriter/playwright can create a living character.

Romance movies are about ways to love, simplified as a formula in the films because in the end they're so true. It usually comes down to your own (thinking) self getting in the middle, trying to script the love, and finally the gesture, the commitment itself that obliterates both self and story.
