REVIEW(***) |
The most important thing to continue recent love was...
Especially it started something like "fallen love first site"
The film gave me hints why the doesn't romance come right
Because of more they've know each other, more they wanna ask
something about each other even though they know it was their
"complex" or "it was last word for them".
Or more they get to know each other their paternal or mothering
instinct came out and they reminded them their family.
If those kinds of things would feel their "complex", it would be
"key" of their break up.
Paul Thomas Anderson was good at using a "metaphor".
Beginning of film showed Barry and Lena's life. The car which
overturned on the road was like Barry get "PunchDrunk Love" his
mundane days. Lonely Harmonium was Lena. Even though it was Okay
It waited someone to pick up her.
Anyway, Both of them haven't able to their complex and waited for
"someoneelse". For waiting "someone" they found that "Tried to accept
whole of thing" When they are able to do it, "PunchDrunk Love" would be
"True Love". |

REVIEW(***)
|
If you have a son and son whose life is totally different from you or
son like Michele in this movie ,I recommend to watch it.
"My son would be a..." Do you have such like image for your sun?
Men who are father you should have "Ideal image of my son".
Also when it was bloken by your son against your will or not.
After broke it, they found their real conversation in this movie.
It was "What time is it?" They began to their real relationship.
Can you find "real conversation" between your son and you? find it.
Casting were incredible. M. Mastroianni is still talented. M.Troisi
who died before hit his reprehensive movie IL Postino, he appeared
full of ability from "Splendor" which co-played M.Mastroianni.
A.Parillaud who played it before she played Nikita.
I saw it in small theater which is located 6th floor of small building.
In spite of small location, I waited in a line at that time and during
hit it on Italian restaurant served special menu! Some Italian
restaurant served capttino totally free if you have this movie's
ticket! It's nice don't you think? |

REVIEW(***) |
It won three Cesars(film ,best,director,art) in '76.
There were amazing representational arts in film (probabry their owner
was Delon could be). Then film based by director's autobiography when he
was faced McCarthyism. Director J.Rosey moved his field from America to
France after he was exiled in America.
He was linked it to Jews-exclusion in Paris in WW2.
Most French thrillers from this period lack is a real sense of menace.
It was a reason why they're not register with them. Nice try I think.
One man VS the world scenario" suit for Alain Delon
who has already established himself as the ideal actor after he started
Melvilles Le Samoura. Delon has self-destructive egoism
that is just so perfectly right for this part, also Delon himself
admitted that the part of Klein was his favorite role.)
The last scene was shocked for me. But I thought it was good for Delon
what he able to play such like splendid role. |

REVIEW(*****) |
There was perform a monodrama by C. Farrel however he
was tried to "skill of acting" this film.
Screenwriter has been trying to figure out how to do a movie
inside a phone booth for twenty years," Then he came up with
the idea and wrote it just 1 week.
What do you do when you hear a ringing public phone behind you?
You know it's a wrong number,if you would keep cool.
but instinct forces you to pick it up. Case of Stu, instinct won
by wit. Before did that, he has compounded a lie day by day
It's taken for a granted to keep cool however he lost his "wit"
before "ringing". Because of "ringing" connected his "job of tomorrow"
Colin plays a very reluctant victim so well.
Schumacher hand-picked Colin Farrell to portray Stu Sheperd,
the low-rent publicist who is not only rude he had big complex of
his roots. It couldn't help that he has compounded a lie his life
End of the story, he admit everything. I like that.
Probably the man who aimed Stu appeared whenever Stu was self-complacent
I thought.
I was particularly interested in its exploration of a fundamental fear -
that someone is watching you - and the loss of privacy in today's world.
The most frightening part of the story is that it could happen
to anyone. It's a strong tale of urban paranoia."
Nowaday...anybody can know personal data so easily.
Phonebooth was last sanctuary for tele-user could be...

REVIEW(*****) |
If Fanfan played by J.Phillip, he would be
"well-bred gentleman Fanfan".
Vincent played Fanfan, it would be
mischievous Fanfan like A.Delon in
La Tulip Noirdirected by
C.Jack. J=M=Vicent in Defiance
In Japan Vicent was too sexy when his
movie appear first time.
Then Japanese writer introduced him like
Man who make pregnant just his eyes
Time past over 10years since then,his eyes
became down. Still he was beautiful,charming
in a way. He was comical.
His action make you age on your seat.
No wire action,footloose,sliming swordplay,
Those scenes might make you keeping your eye
on him.
Also Penelope was really appropiate this role.
I thought she suit for costume style.
Another supporting roles were really unique.
They added spice for the movie.
