at the local Palace theatre out in the 'burbs...first weekend the movie was here in nawlinz.
opening weekend was truly a packed house, with a diverse cross section of movie attendees....guys, gals, young, middle aged, retired, married peeps. there didn't appear to be any one lifestyle group predomindating the crowd. there also was literally not a vacant rocking chair seat in the theatre.
as one local reviewer phrased it..."the movie is about 30 seconds of men having sex and 2 hours of reasons not to have sex". there was one, short, fully clothed, graphic (for the movies, anyway) sex scene, some brief nude shots later on....but no extreme close ups on engorged personal parts or anything like that. if you are worried about getting grossed out by 2 guys goin' at each other, don't be.
it's truly a sad movie...a lot of repressed emotion and heartache goin' on here. after watching this movie i'm glad it's 2006 and not 40 years ago....also glad that i live in new orleans and not montana.
if this movie doesn't get the statue for cinematogrophy.....all other movies this year pale in contrast. some beautifull scenes of the natural landscape are shown here.
the two lead actors transformed themselves for their movie roles. in the past i had viewed both of these guys as just some 20-something pretty boys; but in this movie they have gotten past their pretty face looks and displayed some excellent acting skills.
repressed, buried emotion is always the hardest to show on the screen. over the top heartache is easy to do for any second rate ham actor. the type of sublte, repressed very true to life acting and emotion the 2 lead actors put forth in this movie is extremely hard to do.
i was thinking about this movie and the characters and the plot line for hours after the movie ended and still this morning.
i may pay money to go see THIS movie again.
