Carnage

99.46.90.131

sbrians

This film was done by a director who I believe is one of the 4 best: Kubrick, Spielberg, Hitchcock, Polanski. I just saw it and think that it's lack of nomination for best directing and script Oscars show that the Oscars are corrupt.
I recommend it as a great work of art with some great actors.

I couldn't wait for it to be over . . . - mr grits 09:02:01 12/23/12 (10)
I felt it was forced and pretentious with over the top performance by everyone but John C Reilly. I wanted my 90 minutes back.

  How fast the fame goes into one's head.

      I finally saw Repulsion last night. I thought that it was well done, but slow (listening to part of the 1994 commentary on the BD, it seems that Roman agrees).
      
      I have never been able to get into or through Chinatown. I will have to try that one again one day. Kind of like I have never gotten into Barry Lyndon even though I like most of Kubrick's other work.

    - I agree on most points. I'm glad it isn't just we that were confused by the story: we went with - tinear 17:20:58 12/24/12 (0)
      the flow after awhile, too.
      Portuguese is very different from most languages, aurally, except Yiddish. Especially w/Portuguese spoken in my part of Brazil, Rio. I had an Israeli (really!) friend who was married to a Brazilian woman: he said he picked up Portuguese very easily, at least the accent part.
      Now, how was it.... after the viewing? :-)

***4 best: Kubrick, Spielberg, Hitchcock, Polanski.

Yep... something has always been telling me that Fellini fella was an over-rated second-rate guy.
- Yep, all those Italians are, i.e. Pasolini, Visconti, Antonioni, De Sica, Rossellini, Bertolucci. - tinear 09:10:01 12/23/12 (1)
  All far below Spielberg, apparently.
  David Lean joins Carol Reed and Chaplin in genuflecting to Hitch.
  Ford, Huston, Ray, Welles, Wyler, Altman, Griffith---- all kneel to Kubrick.
  Goodbye to France, Germany, Russia, Brazil, Hungary, Japan, and China.
  Nothing to see from there...
