minnie and moskowitz be the most pathetic and ungraceful love story i have ever see . between minnie and a disillusion museum curator whose abusive married boyfriend dump her and leave her even more uptight and confuse than she already be and and seymour moskowitz and a parking attendant so desperate for attention that he spend his night go to bar and restaurant aggravate people and there be a chaotic and disenchanted match from the start . just like so many pairing that we see every day . in nearly every love story and there be a man and a woman and the man be confident and funny and either classically hot or attractive in his own way and whose shortcoming be charm and and the woman a wounded soul who could have any man she want who choose this guy because there just something about him . these movie make everyone feel so good because the character embody what every man and woman want to be and not what they be . minnie and moskowitz and instead of indulge in any hint of fantasy in the realm of romance and depicts people who may just be more common than the attractive and confident people with so much experience play the field . what the story behind the love affair of the ugly and alarmingly awkward man with no life and no job that we all run into and or the woman so cripple by insecurity that it difficult to talk to her . this film be not as fascinating a cassavetes face or open night and but it have that rivet quality that cassavetes always fight so hard to render and which be an unbridled depiction of people underneath the ego that hide behind itself in nearly all other film . gena rowlands and seymour cassel and deliver startlingly pitiable people and be hardly likable . moskowitz nearly drive u mad and let alone minnie . he impose himself so forcefully in her life and the date be an explosion of the inner voice of ours that respond to the screamingly inept uneasiness on date we have all be on and rejection we have all swallow and and argument we have all have that we know be our own fault . i admire a film like minnie and moskowitz because and a the trademark be with the film cassavetes helm himself and it identify with u in 100 % honesty . our egos play no part in company with his character and thus a tremendous achievement per performance by actor .
