Annie Hall - (Woody Allen, Diane Keaton) :clap: :cool2:
A superbly witty and technically novel romantic comedy
P.S: Paul Simon (Simon and Garfunkel) comes in a guest role in the movie
That's quite a claim!! Will take another month for the movie to hit the theaters here :(. Let me post my views then. I am awaiting Tarantino's "Inglorious Bastards" with more enthusiasm though. Collaboration ellam namba aalukku othu varathu..Quote:

Scarlett Johansson is superb while Jonathan Rhys Meyers' accent is totally unconvincing/absent as an Irishman.
12 Angry Men
Awesome movie !!!! Must Watch :cool2:
Henry fonda was simply superb :thumbsup:
Did you notice except for 3 or 4 of the jurors none of the other names are even told out. Henry Fonda says his name as they walk out of the court.
My favourite is that 'I will kill you' scene.
I too liked Match Point. Too bad he followed it up with the insipid 'Scoop'. Scarlett was great in both movies though :thumbsup: .Quote:

I think Jap girl's desperation is understandable, especially from the evidence of Japanese culture from different movies (J-pop J-urban embellishing 'hippie' society, not sure about accuracy ). Inarritu just went a level up showing it from a deaf-and-dumb girl’s perspective. And she sees her disability being the main reason for not having a guy in her life. In the restaurant , when a prick approaches her table (of deaf-and-dumb girls), he looks down at them with contempt and ridicules about them with his friends. She then shows her pussy to taunt them as if to say I can’t talk but I have a big vagina.
She sees 'sex' , as the only mean to get a guy liking her. She couldn’t take it any longer. Even in the dressing room, a girl makes fun of her virginity. Even some of my friends(girls included) seem to think 'getting laid', super-cool, being 'hip' and some people think 'virginity' as a weakness , it's a social construct. there wasn't anyone groping her or staring right into her eyes, that must have distressed her in the disc. That might have been her worry/concern but I was trapped into that trick, an average viewer to feel for 'deaf people dancing in the disc with no sound.
considering her looks, she could have got someone easily. Yeah, there are questions unanswered like why she wasn't able to get a similar deaf-and-dumb guy. However, for all we know, she might be from a deaf-and-dumb school exclusively for girls. She may not have met someone like that.
'Being deaf and dumb doesn't prevent one from getting laid for so long.' - That coupled with her good looks seals the argument. I don't think anyone can counter that point without assumptions. All we can do is assume that, she is under a transitional phase of adolescence. She isn’t close to her father (even more because he is a hunter). Her mother's death could have been traumatic to her and she feels empty even more. This might have been one of the many reasons for her 'desperation'. Too many assumptions for the viewer, I guess! Nevertheless, one clear incongruity of her 'wanting a relationship' is, when she even tried to seduce the dentist. She wanted to loose her virginity more than anything else. Finally, the director seals it with her nude 'attempt' in the end.
Now what did she write in that letter? It could be anything!
1) She lied to the inspector about her mother jumping down the building.(her mom actually shot herself dead) Could it be to apologize for that lie?
2) Japanese society suffers from many fetish behaviour and incest cases, did she lodge a complaint against her father?
haha, kidding!
3) did she plan to die? Maybe she wanted to jump from the balcony. But she changed her mind.
4) Maybe her father killed her mom..Maybe a confession letter..
Or maybe she killed her mom...
5)It could be a simple 'sorry'! Or maybe a brief synopsis of her situation.
6) None of the above..
