I saw that scene when I was really young and I laughed till I cried. It still makes me laugh. I've always loved Woody Allen.Hobbes' Choice wrote:I think Woody Allen, though brilliant, was generally disappointing.vegetariantaxidermy wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKr5LKsn428
I've only walked out of two films in the cinema, and one of them was Match Point.
As a stand-up comic Allen was supreme.
Although one is a portrayal and one is real, a similarity between the links is that for different reasons and in their own ham-handed ways, the men in both fail to act appropriately for their particular situations and relationships. Do you see any other similarities?vegetariantaxidermy wrote:But what does your link has to do with the film scene?
Ummm, it was just funny.Walker wrote:Although one is a portrayal and one is real, a similarity between the links is that for different reasons and in their own ham-handed ways, the men in both fail to act appropriately for their particular situations and relationships.

What was your missing commentary for the Goldie/Dudley link?
The reason for this link is, at one level the principal behaves appropriately, and on another level he does not.
Mr Can, according to the link, your favourite movie scene is one in which a black man is whipped.
Your comment is interesting inasmuch the film instilled a strong enough emotion for you to walk out, whereas I had a strong reaction to this film also, but mine was such that I found it to be extremely disturbing.I think Woody Allen, though brilliant, was generally disappointing.

You must have a hankering for romantic comediesvegetariantaxidermy wrote:Ummm, it was just funny.
The the emotion was this is stupid and the narrative is out of date. The class narrative was from the 1950s, and basically Jonathan Rhys Meyers is far too gay to play a male lead convincingly. The sex was absurd.reasonvemotion wrote:Hobbes' Choice wrote:Your comment is interesting inasmuch the film instilled a strong enough emotion for you to walk out, whereas I had a strong reaction to this film also, but mine was such that I found it to be extremely disturbing.I think Woody Allen, though brilliant, was generally disappointing.

I have the dvd but to this day cannot bring myself to watch it for the above reasons, so on reflection I also walked out.
Why did you decide to not watch it.

an excerpt
I thought the roles were well cast, on reflection what disturbed me, as you see in that film clip, how confident and beautiful Scarlett was but as the film progresses she is reduced to a woman waiting for the phone call or the meeting with the married man.
She lost everything and he successfully married, had a career, where he did nothing much but show up at the office.
She had such beauty and her crime was she did not use it to her advantage, she gave it away to the undeserving.
I don't recall ghosts, but after this brief exchange I will watch the DVD, (I saw the film at the cinema).
I think Woody captured the upper class exactly.
