In Reply to: "Cast Away", another silent film posted by rico on May 06, 2004 at 10:58:55:
...the original Swept Away... too many movies with titles too close.Anyway, thanks for bringing (albeing unwillingly) the image of Mariangela Melato to my mind - what a woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cast Away? Not a great movie by any stretch of imagination... the best I can say about it it was inoffensive, but too corny to be of any real value. Yes, Tom's performance was good, but the whole movie smelled fake.
Follow Ups:
Melato was also great in another Wertmuller movie: Love and Anarchy. As for Cast Away, what a waste of time.N
She played in several Wertmuller films, things like the much later Notte d'estate con profilo greco, occhi a mandorla e odore di basilico... she's been lovely in all of them I think.
Hehehe ...the biggest turn off of the whole history. Have you ever seen " Shanghai Surprise " ?
Inoffensive is the right word, empty is another. And silent for both .
Madonna is sooooo lightweight! Mariangela could crash her with one look.For some reason they don't make women like this anymore. No Anita Ekberg, no Ursula Andress... now we have to stare at Julia Roberts.
Speaking of which... a few days ago I caught a portion of Herzog's Invincible. Not a great film, but one detail struck us both.
They showed a chorus with a lot of female dancers. All were substantialy overweight compared to what you see today. I would say by 30% or so.
And both Anya and I commented how much more feminine they looked, how truly sexy.
Kudos to Herzog for this subtle detail.
It did not miss me. Long live Rubens!
