Very true about Sideways being overrated, not saying it was god-awful (the more I watch it the more I realize this statement isn't true), but I agree it was severly overrated.

I'm a huge fan of his face, I'm sure I've said that before in another thread or two. I have that interview on tape. I realize that I'm probably revealing a little too much about my fascination with Willem Dafoe, but it was bound to make an appearance sooner or later.

sideways had a great screenplay, but the cinematography was god-awful, looked like it was shot in 16mm. it also had a couple of great actors, what's his name and the other (ha ha)-- no, really, that guy should have won the oscar, he was so excellent. i keep wanting to call him harvey pekar but i know that's not him. the actor who played him. ththhthththt.... -- ps giamatti! paul giamatti-- wonderful job he did |

afterthefact--
i gotta go, but before i have to ask-- what is it that bothered you about giamatti's performance in that movie? (are we talking sideways, right?) sure he portrayed an unlikeable pathetic fuck, and i sure detested the character, but he was just very good at playing a pathetic fuck, i don't see how he performed poorly in that one. when he steals money from his mothers drawer i am ready to vomit but the acting was great. or so i think anyway. hm, so i really gotta go but will check back for your comments. seeya. |

I don't know really, Giamatti is always borderline for me anyways. I know a lot of people praise him, but he never really does much for me. I'm not saying that other people are wrong, each persons taste is just different. I think though the fact that I'm not a huge Giamatti fan combined with the fact that this was an easily hatable character just turned me off to him after this, at least for a while. And I do apologize if you searched for my reply only to find this, as opposed to a well thought out criticism, but it's all I got

I don't think Pulp Fiction is over-rated. Over-quoted and mentioned, yes, but not over-rated.

Let me be the first to say Saving Private Ryan. I just don't get why so many people worship this movie.

I'll agree with you on this. The series Band of Brothers, although it is produced by the same people as the movie, is infinently better.

was it? i think it's quite popular in the same vein as amelie. yet the things i appreciated the most, like the political things that go on in the background, are missed on most audiences i guess. there is this whole context of class & racial differences that i'm not sure everyone picks up on, and that's what makes the movie work really work for me. the characters in themselves are ok, but they don't tell you the whole story. for me at least... |

I don't know it got so much hype, I saw it and was left with a meh. I did not pick up the political thing, but now that you mention it, that does go out throughout the whole movie.

the social & class differences of the 2 friends reach their climax when the one guy spits on the car window & the other calls him a "naco". also the "naco" friend's mom is a secretary struggling to make ends meet while the other kid is stinking rich. meanwhile there is all of this social upheaval going while they are both oblivious to it-- oblivious but very much a part of it. the movie is totally incomplete if you don't take this into account. |
