These two only knew each other from being pen pals( that in itself is pretty preposterous since they lived in the same area.) When they were together, there was no emotion from either of them. I would call it bad acting although I realize they were very young. Regardless, I have seen 5 year olds who do a better job in emoting! My husband likened this movie to Romeo and Juliet and I can see his point. Lots of it is deep symbolism and really is not meant to be watched at face value. So when you think of it this way, it actually makes sense out of nonsense.dibbeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-38596723113238408032013-01-09T03:45:59.396+01:002013-01-09T03:45:59.396+01:00Thank you for the comment Andrea!

I just saw the movie and it's the first Andrson's movie I watch.<br />I agree with you in a lot of things, for example: I think it had a wonderful cinematography, I think the music was good, and I really really loved Norton's character.<br /><br />I think Frances McDormand did a good acting job as usual and also Tilda Swinton.<br /><br />I didn't like the characters development or lack of development, but I belive it was kinda on purpose, unfortunaly it didn't work out well.<br /><br />I think he tried to do a lot of things and that made the movie confuse.<br /><br />In other words, I agree wit you in a lot of things.<br /><br />The only thing that bothers you a lot and didn't bother me that much was the dog situation, and it's weird, because I love dogs, and I don't watch movies with dogs becuase it makes me feel bad when something happens to them, but maybe it's because we don't really conect with the dog in the movie, he just dies, yes without reason to us, but I think Andreson feels that "art" doesn't need a reason, and I'm sure he belives he is making art, and well, he kinda is... I don't know if this made sense, if not, I'm sorry.<br /><br />I'm also sorry for my bad english writing.Andysam Black Lymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18271549707650426916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-15881329647840773852013-01-06T15:03:05.653+01:002013-01-06T15:03:05.653+01:00I'm sorry it didn't work for you, but I th...I'm sorry it didn't work for you, but I thought the dog scene was in fact substantial to the script. It made the point early that disturbing events can occur in the film's fictional universe, so that I could actually worry about the kids in the final part, and fear that something terrible could still happen. It adds a lot to the suspense, in my opinion, and does it in a subtle way.Eugubiusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-77569564496558690622013-01-03T00:58:44.401+01:002013-01-03T00:58:44.401+01:00I'm sorry you run a hugely unsuccessful blog w...I'm sorry you run a hugely unsuccessful blog with no visitors and hideous design.

For me their are thousands of other ways emotions are passed on the weird sileces and akwardness says a lot about the boy/girl.

This movie did little for me.

I really can't take your review seriously in the slightest after reading that nonsense. You are aware of what decade it is and what country it was filmed in, correct? Just because it was set in the 60's that doesn't mean the same rules apply. He obviously did not kill that dog in real life. Yes it's kinda sad and icky... but it's not real.

The other reason for that whole "you can touch my breast thing" and the entire "should i be watching this" uncomfortable feeling you get from the beach scene is to make it stand out as a special intimate moment that you take away and that makes the destruction of the cove at the end of the film that much more powerful and sentimental.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-48448179337291134542012-11-06T15:21:42.564+01:002012-11-06T15:21:42.564+01:00I thought it looked lovely, but yes, the lack of s...I thought it looked lovely, but yes, the lack of substance makes it quite kitschy.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-56112865693368843452012-11-06T14:06:09.656+01:002012-11-06T14:06:09.656+01:00I dont even find this movie beautiful.
