REVIEW (**) |
Unpredictable well crafted story and each actress could
got main role.
I knew this movie show on top on the year, if I wouldn't
have opportunity to watch in Osaka as "revival show",
I had never watch see it in a movie theatre.
There were many reason, too crowded, the woman who is
pain in the rump, she shows off the bag which could
get only movie theare when you watched "8femme" but it
was limited edition. And she boastful about like.
"See? I've watched SO well-crafted movie,
Don't confuse ordinary movie fan" REALLY I hate someone
like her I know she seldom watch movies Ha! Anyway...
Movie's time setting '50s. It reminds me "Good old days"
or " Fashion style that my mom like" Virgine wore totally
Audrey in "Sabrina", Fanny reminds me "Band wagon",
Isabelle was as impressive as her magnum opus "les Pianiste".
I got sucked in the story whenever discover their blanket
but why most characters were lesbian?
Did it relate director Francoins was gay or Catharine was
lesbian icon? Those of scenes were not related story plot,
I thought. If you were guy, you would be afraid of women
after watched this movie. |

REVIEW (***) |
I watched it first time , I thought'90 veesion Of "All The Right Move"
It couldn't help it. Story line was as same as "All-", The film draw
between coach and students argument and sports policy "One For All
All For One" One things for sure, "All-" draw just "ambisious2
coach and students. However "Varsity-" draw "What's for play your sports"
Footballgame , party , team-mate's parents talking sequence were sloppy
however they pay attention drawing mental-side .
Fatty defense Bob depressed that he is admitted good-for nothing mate
Kilmer, He shoots his each trophies in front of Mock.
Most trophies were not special praise though for Bob those are
memorable trophies.
Causing Lance's injuries, Mock can get regular position but
his view is so cool and romance side was so logy.
Why? He doesn't care about Darcy's Whipped Creme Bikini.(It must be kidding!)
Also he doesn't have sence of rival with Lance (His sister is girlfriend )
Just he has a sence of "cooperativeness" it was the difference point of
hero style in '80s and '90s.
James dyed his hair for this movie, it was nice. |

If I was a men, I would unwish to have a ability to reading what women want.
Even though I would be able to read what women want, I don't think
"change my character".
Director had a good point of view why men have a misunderstand about
what do women think about men.
Men thought all women had a good point of view or even though he was hated
most women,he tried to find that "Even a few women should have liked me"
What excessive optimism. Anyway... Mel played such like tipical stupid
men.If he is really "maleshowbism" it would be not"comedy movie"
He made using his experience in movie I think.The scene that his daughter
Alex pick on her dress for prom-party.(When it was on aired Japanese TV
program,most funny scenes were cut by TV! Due to airtime was too short)
And there is no reason to buy if you are Jazz fan... sound track!
Please check it out! |

REVIEW(*) |
I'm Japanese. For Japanese, movie rate was 1 or 2.
Even though there is big-budget movie, hot-young star whatever.
Producer Jerry Brackaimer wanna told how misery beginning of WW2
for America. What' the matter with that?
There was no excuse, I thought. Actually America has fought many
countries for their profits.
I watched it on TV, because there is no worth to see in movie
theater for me. There is no matter for cast, shooting techniques.
Yeah, acting was good Josh and Ben really good.
Study historical of costume was good but they wound't understand
about Japan. Before Japanese movie company distribute it
Director added the scene, Zero fighter shouted from his airforce
"GO AWAY!" How many American saw it? Probably non.
Furthermore American edition of this film, there are some horrible
scenes to describe about Japanese.
I don't wanna review this film anymore
My mom said "The scene of Tokyo air attack was totally lie!"

REVIEW(***) |
Director S. Spielberg inspired from documentary film which
shot by F.Capra. Then he interviewed veteran of WW2 before make it.
Just he thought.
"I thought Tom Hanks wouldn't be like J. Wain in The Longest Day
which draw about same issue of Normandy.
But The Longest Day was propaganda movie.
People who is generation X or lost generation
(it means people who is born after WW2 and '70s)
wouldn't be willing to see The Longest Day.
Spilberg wanna tell how deep sorrow American have
still now, in spite of America won every war every time.
The vetnam war is the only lost war for them.
For loser of war,it's no excuse.
I think The Shin Red Line have considerable
persuasive power than this movie.
It's not mension big-budget or no.
One point was better, casting not include Tom Hanks.
He is already big name and I don't like him.
Especially Vin Dieasel. His appear striked my cord.

REVIEW(****) |
It was good meaning of "typical type of communist movie".
E.Kazan who has spent a days for Red Scare and
he was second of none who directed the movie like
"equality" and "codetermination".
At that time M.Brando actived in the front lines
he didn't despareted Hollywood movies and he won
Oscar first time.
Then we can find how difficult to be isolated and
fight against everything.
"Better dead" everybody who was in a movie thought,
I supporse.Because after Terry had a lawsuit,he was
igonore his co-workers and couldn't get his daily job.
The scene that his fellowships killed off his pigeons,
it reminded me recent cruel juvenil criminal.
Have you been isolated and fight against something?
If you were not,please watched it.
I've been isolated for a long time,like Brando.
