The Prince and the Showgirl (1957)
Cinderella's prince can talk!
From Terence Rattigan's " The sleeping prince" . Came to London in 1911 ti preside to the in coronation of George V , the archduke of Carpathia wants to be escort for the night , he finds an American showgirl. Olivier's acting is flawless and Monroe strikes. Question : which of the two stars has take advantage on the other? If " The prince and the showgirl" is already watchable today , it's because of Marilyn Monroe , because at one time of the story that little split comes out as if Olivier , from that moment was too busy to play an aristocratic better than a true one. If he had act like he had in front of him a similar beauty , there was nothing else to do than turn the guard down and give up: Marilyn enlightened up the scene , just with her being an alive presence , she was with her life to dissolve the cold of the perfection of his partner.
Death on the Nile (1978)
let's twist again
The most the important thing to do , during the view of a movie is to asking the question of some sequences , those puzzle's pieces that seems to have the same meaning of the key to the truth. If a poor man marries a richer woman , who is finding dead after the first 30 minutes of the movie , the answer is always the same , even if he's heavily wounded. The difference between the common spectator and the connoisseur it's really in the knowledge of the plot devices . Leaving aside the fact that the author of the script is Agatha Christie herself , the movie is a detective story composed by the usual elements : red herring , twist , McGuffin , whodunit. to success in resolving a detective story like Poirot , it takes to watch the truth with a technical look , simply applying the theory to the practice , because truth lies on a silver plate . Just be careful to don't be caught in the trap!
Passion (2012)
I can't find a title to express the loathing
Brian De Pal'ma's look in movies isn't an object of new visions. In his movies there's nothing more too see , but much to be seen again. The return thriller of a master of the genre, is a varnishing film of a true tension plenty of clichè . The work of Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace makes unstandable the view of a 90's revival. If Rachel Mc Adams is unbearable functional to the plot , and she's used at the best of her ability to " the mad one" , Rapace isn't just less expressiveness of the mask of the movie , but is also irritant and hateful , a big fail in the movie. Her scenes with detusch actress Karoline Hertfurth enter in the anthology of the "uglyest couple ever". one last question: in a movie where obviously the focus of the attention is the manipulation of new technologies , what's the meaning of "Passion" , not a sentimental string , I guess.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
being in time
Steven Chbosky'directorial debut , same author of the novel " The perks of being a wallflower" is focused on the difficult time of Charlie's growing up , an insecure boy from a difficult past. Logan Lerman's anticharismatich talent passes trough his eyes and body and bloom es when he decides to dance during a party. There is "High Fidelity" in Chbosky's images , but not the generational and iconic images of Jhon Hughes'movies ,nothing of similar to " The breakfast club" to explain us ,but a kind of Bildungsroman story that eyes to " Dead poets society" and to " An education". On this wall we can hang " The perks of being a wallflower" , that of the movie to collect whom growing and getting older. But something is missed , to be unforgiven , there is not a semiotic/ semantic repartition,instantaneousness of time that author is living in isn't admit , characters aren't well done , like they were daguerreotypes of a paint who pretends to be a photograph. There's not a minimal perception. The adaptation starts quite good but it's always more lighted and shaded to the last minutes of the movie. It's not gold all that glitters but even the bigotry makes his part.
