I think Woody Allen, though brilliant, was generally disappointing.
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.

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.

But what does your link has to do with the film scene?

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?

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.

Ummm, it was just funny.

Mr Can, according to the link, your favourite movie scene is one in which a black man is whipped.
Are you sure you have the right scene?

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 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.

You must have a hankering for romantic comedies

Words of the son to the father.

“I live … because this poor, half-crazed genius has given me life. He alone held an image of me as something beautiful. Then, when it would have been easy enough to stay out of danger, he used his own body as a guinea pig, to give me a calmer brain, and a somewhat more sophisticated way of expressing myself.”

The the emotion was this is stupid and the narrative is out of date.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.
Unless I'm confusing it with Wimbledon With Paul Bettany which was also not great.
Did match Point involve ghosts?

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.

Life and death

After Lola steps in front of a truck and breaks the continuity of her identity, she becomes a force of nature activated by life and death.
Before the truck, she was a force of will, delusion, and good intent.

Great reality-warping scene.

At the end of the movie she channels energy in a different way.

Woody is what describes the plot and the acting.
It's an American's view of class, not what is on the ground in the UK.
