mathewis convinced that Lisa, the girl he sees in a cafe, is his long lost love. Throughout the movie, he puts his career to the side as he tries to find her. He finds out where Lisa lives, but it is another girl who claims her name is also Lisa. After multiple times of failed searches and flashbacks, Matthew starts to doubt himself about Lisa.. but never stopped looking her. This movie is filled with drama and mysteries.
What made the romance in Wicker Park real was that Matt never gave up looking for Lisa and that he went for what he really wanted. The director, Paul McGuigan , shows how happy and natural Matt and Lisa were together in the short flashbacks Matt has throughout the movie. I also thought it was realistic how Matthew only had short, certain flashbacks. This was understadable since him and Lisa loved eachother 2 years ago.
