i must admit, i saw this movie.

it was very good! when the movie began, i thought that the actors were AWFUL and joking.

seriously, the beginning of this movie is so awkward.

but as i continued watching, i realized that these actors were very good! i felt
bought into their characters and found them extremely convincing. i was absolutely
sucked into their romance.

so, when i reflected on that early scene later, instead of mentally framing it as
"these actors are awful", i instead thought "they were such an awkward couple" - this
made me realize that i had been duped. they played an awkward early romance couple so
effortlessly that i thought they were awkward actors!

still not sure how to feel about being deceived, but the movie was great.
