The Search for Lloyd's Blurbs |
About me:
This is an interview with Sabrina, taken from Pop Rock Candy Mountain (http://poprockcandymountain.com - also go there for Sabrina's movie reviews every Friday). Giving you some more info on the documentary!
Unconditional true love has been the subject of countless novels, poems, songs and films. For the romantic, it is the catalyst for life itself, the search for the perfect other, traditionally known as the soul-mate. But does this concept actually exist in modern society, or is it a fabricated Hollywood theme that is more fantasy or fiction? This a question that first-time film maker Sabrina McLarty hopes to answer in her film, The Search For Lloyd.
The Search For Lloyd refers to Lloyd Dobler, the fictional character made famous by John Cusack in director Cameron Crowe’s 1989 film, Say Anything, which Entertainment Weekly named the “greatest modern romance movie” in 2002.
“The Search for Lloyd is a documentary about trying to find Lloyd Dobler, the perfect male specimen that was characterized in the film Say Anything by John Cusack,” said McLarty. “And it’s not really just based upon women looking for “Lloyds,” it’s about the search for ‘movie’ love or ‘fairy tale’ love. It almost feels these days that real, unconditional love doesn’t exist anymore. I love Say Anything’s story and when I talk to other people about it, they say the same thing –’Where can I find a Lloyd?’ He’s a very sweet and genuine guy. He opens doors, listens, checks up on you and not to mention the stereo thing. Guys don’t seem to go to great lengths anymore to obtain a woman and/or keep a woman–neither do women for that matter.”
The 22 year old Saltillo resident was so inspired by Crowe’s film that she and two friends,Traci Tanner and Claire Gentry, also of Saltillo, decided to document their quest for the proof of true love.
“Claire and Traci will be the ones going on dates and such for the film, reporting and all that. Considering I am married, I can’t very well do the dating thing,” noted McLarty.
“We want to get a lot of people’s views and experiences with relationships and try to find out why these wonderful relationships stopped or did they every really exist in the first place,” McLarty stated. ” Divorce rates are so high these days and people don’t stay happy with their mates anymore. We want to know why? Is it because there are no Lloyd’s or Andie’s (Molly Ringwald’s character in Pretty In Pink, McLarty’s favorite John Hughes film) out there for us? That’s what we are trying to find out. I really want to show people that love can be like it is in the movies–but no one wants to try anymore. I don’t know very many people that are happy with their love lives, because they have so many other distractions.”
McLarty plans to start the interviewing process for the film in the near future and is already looking towards its completion.
“I would really like to have it finished by fall to enter into film festivals. Dr. Daniel (Lee) has given me the film festival fever and I would like to have a try at it myself,” she said. McLarty starred in Lee’s 2007 salute to 1950s B-movies, Ocho: Arachnid From Hell. She will also be starring in the sequel, It Came From Beyond Beyond, which begins filming soon.
