In Reply to: Re: You're referencing the short story for your opinion of the film: unfair. posted by rico on January 24, 2006 at 12:37:03:
it does justice to a book but whether or not it stands alone as a work of art.
Yes, of course the party is setting up the last scene but the film doesn't do it well enough.
Those who are praising the film show their bias by their inability to argue for the film w/out referencing the story.
There is nowhere near enough of the Huston and husband character in the long party scenes to make them seem worthy of center stage later.
I made several points which remain unanswered.
Follow Ups:
The part you think is disjointed I think is the capper, the top-off to the whole previous shebang.I had read Joyce, but not The Dead when I first saw this film. Not only do I think this movie stands alone as a work of art, I think it is wise and beautiful and eligiac in way that very few other films are.
And ANgelica Houston is fine in it.
So - we disagree.
No one can can deny that it is a beauty of a film, but one that grow on you. maybe Tin will change his mind after the third viewing?!
