In Reply to: The creator and his muse " Faithless " posted by patrickU on January 02, 2004 at 13:27:27:
She saw it first, while I was on a long trip, and she's been trying to get me to see it all that time - each time we went to the store she asked for it, but always to no avail. Finally, a few months back, it arrived to the store, so we saw it together.You are absolutely correct - something like that one can't lump together with the other things one finds on the rental store shelves - it is one of those rare and very special events that deserve special treatment. Its depth is endless, and while it is based on an incredibly simple story, in analyzing it it covers so much that you feel your head is spinning from overload.
Movies like this one are the strongest proof that the most interesting, the most deep subject that any movie maker can even dream of covering and studying is... the human being.
Forget the car chases, the ray guns, the aliens, the lords of many rigns, in final analysis nothing ever produces the emotional impact as strong as the seemingly simple observation of a human soul - the ever tormented, ever blissful and forever endless in its complexity.
But of course only very few masters, the true titans, can handle that incredibly difficult task without looking ridiculous.
It is so heartwarming to know that another one had joined the ranks.
It is so assuring to know that the art of "doing the right thing" is still alive...
Follow Ups:
enthusiastically over a film titled, "Faithless..."
You are such an egoist cad?
In the film the husband did knew about the affair of his wife..but did hope that the passion ( NOT in the desert..) between his friend ( her friend too ) and her would die of an natural ( boring ) death...he was wrong....So jalousy took his toll....
testy, today. I was just joking about the title! Have a glass of Armagnac on me...
I tried to be humorous...But I missed the destination or you my joke.....
But the glass, THAT I will take!
Traditionally, steretypically, we expect the passion bubble and run hot in Southern countries... you know, Carmen, them hot Italian and Israeli babes... but then you look at the Swedes, so apparently cold on the outside, barely moving in all that snow, and suddenly there is passion that is capable of melting the Polar Ice Cap in its intensity.
That we always thought of the Swedes women/ tourists in Nice...THEY were hot...
The story is only the vehicle, the pretext, the excuse.
The sheer intensity of this film makes all the others like shadows on the screen.
You said it, in our own " technical hifi world " overload.
The faces...ah... the faces.
I am all washed out, tired to the bones.
This is so affecting as to be disturbing.
And the end so MORAL. And so right.
All the people on this board ( and other spectators ) should be bound to the chairs they sit in.
Till they becomes human and start to see again.
You think this accolade will make her forget and forgive your horrible French past and feed you a good home-made strudel. Well, maybe it will, because she felt so passionate about this film.As far as forcing people to watch it... well, first you would have to catch them, and you know folks like AuPh are like eel - so best of luck.
Of course you could play a trick... you could get the full house under the pretense that LOTR whould be showing, lock the doors and... roll the Faithless.
I suspect the panic and mad stampede trying ot get out would be worse than if you simply yelled "Fire!".
I am sure my wife will be most poeased with your reaction... as I said - this is one of the movies she keeps close to her heart. I will let her know.
Mr. Khomenko:
Your announced plan to barricade a group of people within the confines of a dark theatre has come to our attention. Please be advised it is in violation of federal law.
The material you are planning to show, created by the puppet of a communist state, is also in violation.
We shall be watching you and your actions more closely in the future, especially since we know you yourself originally came from a God-less regime.
Be very, very careful, sir.
Tom Ridge
