In Reply to: Glengarry GlenRoss is a drama of high art aspirations; IMO, for the most part, it succeeds! posted by Audiophilander on December 12, 2002 at 22:18:56:
Personnal, dear Auph ?

Victor and I agree on some things and disagree on quite a few more, but when someone criticizes every element of a film which you consider artistic and insightful it comes close to a criticism of one's personal tastes. My remarks were entirely fair and I stand by them.
And do NOT stand by yourself...Bad habit.
Sometimes he loses it, and getting personal is not unusual for him.Unfortunately he also divides all films into American and Foreign, and instead of learning what else is out there, in that great world of ours, he simply locks the door and closes his eyes.
As I've pointed out, it's nothing personal; if someone else had heaped dung all over Glengarry Glen Ross they would've received a similar critique of their shoveling technique. As for Mr. Khomenko's comment about dividing films into European and American, I do this only because the styles and subject matter are often quite different, not better or worse, nor because I've chosen to "lock the door and close my eyes." It would probably surprise Victor to learn that I'm actually a fan of WORLD cinema, ...just not the particular European films he seems to find favor with. As a matter of fact, judging from his track record on critiques, I'd almost conclude that Victor's recommendation is a sure fire reason to ask for a second or third opinion, but THAT might get personal. ;^)
Mr. Khomenko and Victor are they the same person ?
