This movie surely caught my "Eye" (It's a pun, as you read ahead you'll know). It is one of the movies in which you'll have to really sit down and watch with concentration (preferably with a loved one). Otherwise you'll not get the abstract concepts and metaphors and not be able to appreciate the movie completely, and since you have a loved one with you, you can cry your eyes out and "fan couple" with them.
Ian Gray is a molecular biologist most fascinated with the eye. When he was just a kid, he realised the intricate and almost magical workings of the Human Eye, the most evolved part of the body since the dawn of the time of life. Also, Ian being a scientist, believes in facts and data, not the spiritual world, religious scriptures and everything related to it, unless proof is provided. So naturally, he is trying to find the evolutionary steps of the construction of the evolved human eye. He is trying to find proof that Human Eye had evolved instead of being created by an "intelligent designer", God Himself, which might potentially prove science as superior than religion.
One day, Ian goes to a Halloween party and goes to the rooftop to smoke a cigarette where he meets a mysterious girl wearing a black mask with the most dazzling eyes ever. Naturally, he gets drawn to her and she allows him to take the pictures of her eyes. They immediately click and end up sleeping together, which results in the girl running away in a taxi just after it is finished.
For a few weeks, he could not stop thinking about the girl with the dazzling eyes. He simply stared at the eyes he had captured for hours, swimming in their deep and colour iris. Until one day, looking like any other normal day, just that it actually wasn't. He entered a 7-11 Store and bought a lottery ticket. After that, his life was turned upside down by the number 11, he encountered it everywhere- on his lottery ticket, the time, the bus's number he was boarding. As he was travelling in that bus, he randomly dropped on one of the stations, and as if the universe was bending itself for him, he found the exact eyes he was searching for on a billboard.
Now, maybe I've left the review in a suspense (or I had nothing else to write unless I wanted to reveal something important). So, will Ian find the eyes he was looking for? Are they meant to be? Or the eyes will be a mystery forever? But, even if he meets the bearer of the eyes, is there really a possibility that the girl will be anything more than a one night stand? Most of all, what does this have to do with eyes?
