In Reply to: The fact that Star Wars and the original Solaris are at opposite ends of the spectrum... posted by Audiophilander on October 15, 2002 at 08:44:20:
but "AI", and I thoroughly enjoyed them all.
Totally agree, "each to his own", some Japanese films like Mizoguchi's "Ugetsu Monogotari" have such mollasses pace they make Tarkovsky's "Solaris" seem like an afternoon at Indy Raceway by comparison; Bergmanns films ain't exactly high paced action thrillers either, but surely a film can be boring regardless of pace
Thank God we are all different, "Gone with the Wind" has never done anything at all for me, kind of like a joke I just never got, so I know what you mean, no inference of stereotyping was expressed or should be implied!!

Saw GWTW as a child and really enjoyed it, later as a young adult,
went to see it for a second time with expectations of being
highly entertained once again,but got up and left after about an hour, no emotional
involvement at all, a complete bore for some reason. - AH

But quietly... there are many Americans here.Corny and superficial. Is shallow the same as superficial, or stronger?
superficial...on the surface not going deep enough
shallow...not deep
seem to be very similar
But let's ask Audiophilander for sure...he is godd with terms and meanings.I hear it often like this:
People can be superficial
but people are shallow (a personality trait)The movie is shallow because it portrayed a superficial view of the topic. (Sounds forced...I think we need an expert!)
At any rate, it is a good question
hmmm?mp
SUPERFICIAL is to SHALLOW as EGGS are to HAM? IOW, the CHICKEES
are INVOLVED, but the PIGGYS are COMMITTED! - AH
