Moulin Rouge! (2001)
Masterpiece
I have watched this film several times over, and I understand why some vote for less than excellent, I would have too after my first viewing.
This is one of the few films that improves by watching it over. The acting is marvelous, the citations are endless, there is humor and irony almost in every sentence and there is strong moral message in it to. The combination is just perfect, the comedy part of the movie does not make it ridiculous and the dramatic part is tuned below corniness.
I fell in love with Satine and the film, and I shed tears at the end every time I see it. I strongly urge everyone who have seen the film and do not share my feelings to watch it again
Persuasion (1971)
BBC surprice.
Usually when BBC releases a TV series one is used to a certain satisfaction guarantee. Usually the TV series is splendid, even if the story is boring, you can trust the acting will make the it worth while. When I came across, Persuasion, here at the local library, I was looking forward to an enjoyable evening, cause I read the story.
I'm glad I read the story first, otherwise I would not think highly of it. Further was I relieved to learn that the production date of this TV series was from 1971, since I thought, until that moment, that BBC had lost it. It is really bad, and should be used in acting schools as a horror movie.
The only positive thought I have about this series that the people in this film are not likely to appear or be involved in any BBC or other product this century other than the young Musgroves sisters, who apparently were taking their fist steps in acting, and doing remarkably well under the direction otherwise given.
Marnie (1964)
Sean the big saver!
This film, Hitchcock or not, has one of the worst manuscripts I ever seen. The editing of the film is also amazingly amateurish. The only thing that makes this film not shelved with "Plan nine from outer space" is Sean Connery, both his charisma and his character in the film.
The character which Sean acts which without any logical reason, her looks are not that dashing nor had she had any real intellectual conversations at the time, falls in love with a woman which he suspects not to be entirely honest. When his suspicions come true he sets out a mission, one that evolves to be entirely hopeless to any sane man's judgement, to safe her.
The really interesting part, the one that kept me from turning off the Film and watch Looney tunes to level off, was whether Sean, that is Mr Rutland, is entirely honest in his mission! or whether there are some other motives lurking underneath. Well I won't spoil it and leave it to you to find out-
