A classic of what?Man, I better shut up, don't want to be brutal.
Follow Ups:
Be brutal. FA deserves it.When Glen Close came up outa that tub...*I* wanted to murder somebody...I just wasn't sure whom...the director, the producers, the studio??? All of 'em?????
I won't see this flick by choice again. Ever. It's been years and I'm still mad.
PS: I really like the bat!
It may not be French or of furr-enn origin for your taste, but the film possesses those special universal emotional elements, that reaches an emotional core we can all identify with. The film transcends language or cultural and social barriers, and genre. It communicates to us all.Besides the fact, the film uses classic suspense film language, to play on our emotional heart strings. Surprising that a US film can do something like this in it's day and age without becoming overdone, isnt it ?
In this respect, this is what I meant by classic.
Film doesn't need to be French to be good, and believe me, my taste is quite wide. But it is not nearly wide enough to include a cliche-driven pathetic excuse of a suspense. You watch it and you see things you have seen hundreds of times before, and none done in any refreshing way. If you call a drowned person jumping back to life "classic suspense language" then I think we do have different expectations on what "classic" is.The film is so bad I could never watch it in its entirety. Man, I would take any of Cheech & Chong's movies over it any day, or even Dumb and Dumber. Now... those are classic!
you've elucidated your intellect better than a thousand other posts could have. "Dumb and Dumber" a classic. OK, Vic! (Perhaps Cheech and Chong movies are the cause.)
As for Fatal Atraction, I knew the film was headed for disaster when they showed a close up of the cute little rabbit. I said to myself if it shows up dead later they've played their hand. The fact that it showed up in the stew demonstrated that the film makers tasteless attempts to manipulate the audience with no concern for the suspension of disbelief exceeded my already very low expectations.
As for Dumb and Dumber, it is a laugh out loud unpretentious popcorn comedy. Any analysis of this movie only extends the joke to those making the analysis. Farts are funny. It's an irrefutable scientific fact.
Dumb & Dumber? Nawwww...
A classic ? never, this film is sticked for ever in his period-the AIDS-Years.
