Oh wow! You've seen The Dreamers! That is a great film!! I am a great admirer of Eva Green's, ahem, talents. Who cares if she can't cook ratatouille? Who needs ratatouille anyway!
As for those two laughing morons...do you think...maybe...they might have been Beavis & Butthead come to life? Sounds like the kind of thing that Beavis & Butthead would do!
For the first time in what seems like a decade I'm fighting a backlog of interesting movies in the theaters. Borat, Last King Of Scotland, and Casino Royale are top of the list, though not in that order, I don't think.
So... I'll weigh in on the Dreamers. Full disclosure: Eva Green is the most attractive woman I've seen in my life. There is no way I can objectively judge a film that gives me 20-30 solid minutes of Eva in various states of undress. However: I think I would have loved the movie even with less of her (or more of her clothes). As a natural recluse and as a poli-sci/history buff with no faith in or stomach for real life politicking or activism, I found the idea of that apartment, with those shenanigans, and that desparate level of escapism existing as an island in the middle of the Paris riots to be completely fascinating. I could go on, and just might, but first: what about the Dreamers turned you off so? It couldn't have been her perfect... um.... everything.
Oh, and sorry about the Holiday music. That hurts your soul.
Point well taken. I can see easily how you'd see the version of the '60s portrayed in the Dreamers to be simple and overly nostaligic. I know well that I have that nostalgia gene. Whenever I read 'For Whom The Bell Tollls' I want to join the Abe Lincoln Brigade and fight in the Spanish Civil War. I guess that , living as we do in a world where there seems to be no frontier between the good and that bad, between the evil empire and the homespun truth, I gravitate toward black and white tales of glory days and all that.... I've been drinking too much to make much sense now. Forgive me.
thats the same reason i thought it was funny at first, i was totally set up for expecting an anti drug commercial, then they made it REALLY blue and talked about women getting beat up. so fucking odd.
