theladyassassin: Filmography

I like the cinematography but the synopsis-previously it said Elenora had a "heart of gold" - was incredibly untrue. Aside from freeing a fly, she did pointless things (bending windshield wipers after stealing and abandoning a car)

Che

I felt he was trying to heroic: God-complex methinks

Che

Good film but it does not portray Che in the best light. He seemed to have a romantic view of Guerilla warfare. He was a doctor but, in the film at least, he immediately demands to be a Guerilla once another doctor came along. I feel that he could have contributed a lot more acting as a doctor as Fidel and Che didn't seem to have a clear idea of how the government would be won after Batista was ousted.

Vatel

Enjoyable except that Gérard Depardieu mumbled a lot which lost me at times

[REC] 2

Same as the first but with a better ending. Yes, the first was amazing but the sequel is rather redundant.

[REC] 2

disgustingly dull

True Grit

Great film but I am not a fan of the (abrupt-feeling) ending

True Grit

It is amazing to see the secret life behind fashion- what I mean is that a fashion icon is almost moot- simply a figurehead for a a fashion house within an industry that focuses less on artistic freedom and more on money. I would never dream of squelching a seasoned designer's ideas- without him, the house is a joke

Black Swan

I enjoyed this film a lot but its something I'm unlikely to watch another time

Man on Wire

A very beautiful piece made possible by Petit's dedicated friends who documented the entire process.

I was let down by the Cinematique Francaise being closed when I went to see it however I did get the consolation prize of seeing his wonderful design for it

Men Behind the Sun

This film, coupled with additional research, seems to be pretty accurate but, because of the obscurity surrounding Unit 731 and the like, I can imagine people shrugging it off as some sort of conspiracy.

Valley of the Dolls

Book is way better (no surprise) but the film is still amazing in its own right I'm glad they kept "Sparkle Neely, Sparkle"

Valley of the Dolls

Until I finished the film and made an interpretation, I took Arielle Dombasle's acting to be ridiculous. I still have to wonder if she overacted or if her character, Marion, was really that childish- possibly a contrast to Pauline's austerity? I guess I'll have to take her advice and just keep telling myself that my version of the situation is true

Dogtooth

I found this to be very unique and written with just the right proportion between "grotesque" (which is a perfect word for any and all of its non-violent, physically I men, parts) and sickly endearing. The dance is amazing as well

Police, Adjective

Slow moving but well acted

Police, Adjective

unique plot

The Human Centipede (First Sequence)

How does one go about adapting a play to the screen whilst leaving out the two most important details? 1. The boy was gay 2. Stella was raped

Jindabyne

"an elderly man riddled with racial hatred, killed Susan ..." While the short story might have made that a clear point, this film did not- the killer was simply a man who would kill any woman, given the opportunity

I love this play turned script; Iago was the original psychopath

The Tin Drum

I was quite happy with the death at the end; the only thing worse than an ardent, heiling Nazi is one who later denies it.

I must be a psychopath because I wasn't at all disturbed

A Raisin in the Sun

Most times I prefer reading the script because minor details are often omitted, when filmed, to adhere to the sensibilities of the times (ex. A Streetcar Named Desire largely ignored the script's implications of homosexuality and rape). I feel though, that this is a very good, and accurate, adaptation of the play.

Breaking the Waves

I'm not religious, thus I don't know much about it, but the scene with Bess pushing her (broken) bike up the hill whilst being stoned and ridiculed by the group of children (supposedly pure) was obvious and painful (not to be confused with painfully obvious)
