In Reply to: Re: Would like to add Kubrick's The Shining... posted by Jim Campilongo on September 1, 2005 at 16:31:00:
on you, ever. I don't think I could get past the rather silly story or Pollack's poor performance.
Follow Ups:
Really ? I didn't think Pollacks performance was a *stand out* BAD performance. I mean not in the context of all the **BAD** in that film. As usual Cruise is confusing , mediocre and a teenager. The overused and overrated Kidman squeaks by unforgettably. Everyone else , well ... just falls through the cracks ! I just thought the whole movie is painfully slow. I've never been able to determine if the "orgy" is suppose to be truly erotic and sexy , or an example of silly pointless sex (the later gets my vote). It also get's my vote for the all-time most grating soundtrack. I think someone is playing an octave on a piano with a hammer. Jeez !
70-something old guy. Extremely un-erotic and almost embarrassingly crass.
I thought exactly the same thing Tinear -kind of a unchallenging MOR suburban sex fantasy. I respect Kubrick so much I second-guessed and wondered if the scene was intentionally staged as unappealing, maybe to illustrate the futile attempts of an over - sexed lifestyle. I don't know! Cruise's acting abilities never answer any questions and unless I’m wrong, we the audience were suppose to be clear on the meaning of this part of the story.
