Originally Posted By Lisann22 No Mele, cause I'm not classical beautiful but I love me. LMAO! Ok, sorry, sorry! No, she just bugs me, my comment on her physical appearance is because I don't get her attraction. I don't think she's pretty, even in an unconventional way. Plus, for being so dang skinny and young she's got major saggy tata's and she goes braless a lot - not to appealing. Get a bra girlie!

HENRY V Netflix rental You want to hear some SERIOUS film commentary? Check out Laurence Olivier's "Henry V" from 1944. Listening to the commentary, I felt like I was in an English Lit class...and an English history class....and an Art in Cinema class all at once. Interesting, if a bit more than my brain could absorb.

I got into it and really liked it a lot more then I expected. I deff. reccomend bringing tissues to this if you get teary at movies. To Urslas question, I didnt think parts of this movie were hard to hear with the score over powering the dialoug. Mainly just once or twice in the early scenes on the mountain.
Originally Posted By Ursula Mele, I wish I knew what it is with her that bugs me. I'm sure I'm not being at all fair, too. Maybe it's the Vogue's of the world that just fawn over her every stitch of clothing and I don't care much for shows like Sex in the City. I also tend to see her as being full of herself, even when I've heard and read just the opposite. It has nothing to do with her looks, but I find the shape of her head just odd. And her perfume ads give me the dumb chills.

This is a very deliberately paced movie which will also turn many people off. It was extremely nice to have the director take all the time he needed to introduce the two main characters and let their situation be visualized. Many of todays audiend would want this first 40 minutes condensed down into 5-7 minutes. This is not anything like the crop of low budget, very independent "gay" movies that have come out in the last decade. This is a well crafted film and reminded me of "Days of Heaven" Many people will wonder "where is the love?" forgetting that love is many things to many people and that the way, you love in your relationship is not the way it works for everyone. It took me a bit to reconcile this point but you have to keep your head routed in the time and place and, in particular with the characters. So the particular sex scene was kind of a shock to me though after thinking about it, it made sense. This is not an easy movie everything layed out. There are points that may or may not seem right to you that will come clear later or after you have stewed on it for a while. Or maybe they won't. There are many who complain of the death in the movie. It has been the bane of gay stories, over the past many decades, that someone always has to die and that has been clearing up lately with lots of fresh, breezy, pleasent films ...which is wonderful. This is not that kind of film. The old convention of death shows up but it is the way this film works. I have read many reviews from people (mostly young gay men) who said that it was a bad story because the two men didn't have the courage to live together in love. That is not the story being told. Write your own script. Yes this was a sad movie and I did cry though not so much (as I expected) at the very end as in other emotional scenes as well as one small spot at the beginning. The photography is beautiful as is the score. This is a realistic movie. You will find , maybe two lines in the film, to give you a chuckle, otherwise there are no one liners tossed in every few minutes to releive the tension or remind you that you are watching a film. There are no gratuitous, unbeleivable action sequences, there are no car chases or exreme violence, erotic sex scenes, nothing that is there to wink at the audience or remind you you are sitting in a theater. Jake Gyllenhaal was very good. Not having seen him in much I did suspect he was a good actor, His character is the more fun pleasent one and, as such, seemed less of a challenge but he has some really, really good moments. I had heard Heath Leger's name over the years but have never seen him in anything and figure he was as portrayed by the media, a cute semi leading man passing through. He certainly busted up into the top level of actors on my list. I knew guys like this. Ebough said. Didn't know who Michelle Williams was either. Excellent acting in a small part. You can never please everyone, Most of the reviews I have read are 10 stars (many people gushing on and on) or one star. It is fine to give it 10 stars if you felt that way. Most of the one star "reviews" were from people (mostly men) who, as said above and previously, can not get past the gay part of the movie and do not ever see the film. Most of the other half of the one star reviews seem to befrom gay men who wanted a fuzzy Hollywood romance about men coming out and starting a ranch and or moving to California or New York, which would be fine as a story but it isn't this story, or they wanted more sex, affection and such and that was all they wanted in the movie. There are very few mediocer or bad reviews that actually review the film honostly. I don't know if it is the best film of the year, it is very good but I really like "Crash" too. I do think that Heath Leger's performance is one of the best in many years. Go see it and let it sink in. You may or may not like it but that is what films are about.

I LOVE Diane Lane and John Cusak is always good in whatever he is in. Diane Lane is refreshing.
