Histoire d'O (1975)
a milestone in his genre
I am commenting this movie after 32 years lol. (and please forgive my bad English and try to understand me..) I saw it first in 1976, but recently I had the opportunity to see it again, and a lot of particulars I didn't noticed in my boyhood jumped out of the screen today.
At first, don't look at the trial O has to face.. the story is about the relationship and the power.. if you think that O was the weak one, you didn't noticed how the story ends..
I call this behaviour "topping from the bottom" Every relationship has a balance of power, and usually is not in equilibrium.
Going back to the movie (please, remember was filmed in 1975!)superb photography, appropriate music.
A detail I noticed after 32 yrs.. when O is bringed into the room, at the beginning, the other girl guide her having a hand over her shoulder.. first act of submission.
Of course, the argument is not for all..
The Ninth Gate (1999)
a touch of atmosphere..
Is not very important that at the middle of the film the story is about clear.
The point is the atmosphere that surround you about the devil. The message seems to be that the devil choose the ones that has to be their pupils... Roman Polansky also illustrate the devil like something that has appeal, interesting, not so bad as is said. Well, I can strongly agree on Ms Emmanuelle Seigner, but the movie represent too much a advertising for mr Satana.. btw, is not possible to be detached from the atmosphere. A good work, and Johnny Depp confirmed its ability to jump from a role to another, changing also aspect and way to be on the scene.
What Women Want (2000)
through a nice comedy, they reveal you a secret...
Yes, you can have a couple of hour of laugh, but there is much more inside that movie, directed with a happy hand by a women.
Indeed, all our love-trouble in the life, take their origin from the fact that men doesn't do very much to understand what really women want, but, from the other side, women does their best to NOT explain it...
The story shows us what magic can happen when a man really try to understand a woman, but also that a woman that basically tells what she think has more chances to be understood.. It is too easy?? yeah, may be, but anyone of you knows a woman that act in that way?? In the affirmative, I need her phone.. ;-)
Very good the actors, Gibson and Hunt, a good couple..
