Safety Not Guaranteed

Safety Not Guaranteed: 2012

IMDB: 7

Cast: Audrey Plaza (as Darius), Karan Soni (as Arnau), Jake Johnson (as Jeff), Mark Duplass (as Kenneth)

Kenneth is not a regular guy. He believes in time travel and he looks for a company. Everyone thinks he's crazy. Darius is an intern in a magazine and takes the job as the time traveller's company. Their aim is to go back to 2001 for some reasons. Darius wants to go back to the day when her mother died and fix it but doesn't really believes time travelling. She just takes the job for the internship but day by day she feels more connected to Kenneth. Kenneth wants to go back because he wants to save his girlfriend form dying. The journey was nothing they've expected.

Personal Thoughts: It was really sweet. Besides, it makes you imagine which is good. In one scene Kenneth said he was looking for some kind of innocent pureness in the world. That's why he posted that add. I really liked that he believed in the world and wanted someone to believe in him. Darius was a perfect fit to him. They were both adventurous, different and sweet in a unique way. They perfectly fitted each other. Kenneth looked like a weird person from the outside but on the inside he's the guy that writes songs to the girl he loves, learns writing codes, leaves notes to himself form the past. Darius sees this unique part of him which everyone considers "not normal". Kenneth tells Darius that his girlfriend's house was hit by a car but actually he hit her boyfriend's house with his car. He's not delusional. He just wishes things happened in a different way. For example, in one scene he said "I wish I could stop the jerks that hit her". I think he feels regret and considers himself as a jerk. The reason why he said the girl was dead is because for him, after that day she was no different than a dead person for him. He never got to see her again. He wants to erase that feeling and start over until he met Darius. Everything changed for both of them. In the end, even if nobody believed in Kenneth, he invented the time machine and they traveled back in time together.
