In Reply to: I find Blod Of The Poet much easier to sit through then... posted by Harmonia on December 9, 2005 at 20:04:29:
I can understand how someone could like the Poet, given the right mindset and circumstance. Jaws - I can't, but its popularity even among the more educated ones is something I don't understand. I think Patrick likes it... maybe that's a fair exchange for my "fascination" with Clueless? :-)

Very well put together, with a dozen nods to the great suspense directors in it's construction. Yes, he steals a lot, but also comes up with a lot of original ideas. As tinear said, the proof is in it's impact.
It's a similar phenomenon with Titanic, with it's terrible acting and cheap romance novel plot, it's beautifully shot and masterfully put together.

three main characters. To me, that is the attraction: all three are far above average and they deliver a little chamber piece finely played.
Now, I don't know if you saw this when first it came out. For its day, it had the same impact as Psycho. Well, perhaps moreso in that after the Hitch hit, shower-taking didn't decline. Immediately after Jaws, swimming in oceans world-wide was impacted. To this day, many people say that they won't do so because of that movie.
