In Reply to: Sounds like you let those things distract you from a wonderful love story posted by sjb on January 19, 2006 at 18:09:15:
I have the novel still unread on my shelve I wonder if it as bad as this movie...
This love story is very manipulative and well done. But that will not save this film.
At least not for me.
Follow Ups:
was expecting something better and so was disappointed. Still, I'd rather watch a film whose reach exceeded its grasp than another sequel attempt.
It is very difficult to make any kind of a movie seriously dealing with a topic and not make it preachy, thereby destroying any action continuity and making it seem overly manipulative.
Of course, movies that totally are bourgeois don't have this problem because the values have all been sublimated long ago by the audience.
My expectation was rather high, too. For the same reasons you did like it, I did not, obviously.
