i read the book and thought it was pretty bland the movie? it was paced so horridly!it wasn't delicious sexual tension! it was, look at scarlett johansen's lips and watch her make various blank stares for ten minutes. "now, open your mouth a little further. not that much! a little more. Perfect! now, lick them. i know you're the little servant and the historical accuracy is immacualte, but still! you need to look bored and shocked and confused and sexual all at the same time!" a good concept for a scene, i suppose, but AWFUL execution
Do you have a problem with slow pacing? Do you have a problem with things left unsaid? Do you have a problem with realistic storylines? Do you have a problem with aesthetically brilliant art direction?
Apparently so.
You praise the subtleties of Japanese cuisine and adore the nymph-like vocal chords of Joanna Newsom, but I see that when it comes to movies you require death, blood, guts, sex, drugs and gigantic orange balls everywhere you look. Might I suggest The Island for your summer viewing pleasures?
i live for slow, pacing. i love the awkard or comfortable silences. i've written thousands of words about the subtleties of celluloid and the uncouthness of modern film. i don't claim to know everything about the cinema adaptation of "girl with a pearl earring" but i do know that, viewed independently, the lip-pouting scene that I saw was overly-indulgent.
feh! you think the weather there is bad. i hope you all get nmy letters soon.as this is probably the only time i'll have internet access while i'm here.
