Last Movie You Watched

Angelopoulos, perhaps?

possibly, but I have not seen any of his work. Is Weeping Meadows by him?

[George]

no, but I guess I should?

Yes, but just try to watch it with someone who's openminded.

Better to watch alone then

Yes

[Kullervo]

George - started to watch The Trial last night w/ my wife - she was 'bored' immediately (probably just not in the mood), so we switch to another film - at any rate, will view on my own tonight or over the weekend! 

Women 

[Papageno]

[Joan]

"They say at lovers perjuries that jove laughs"
What exactly does this mean?

The line is  "At lovers' perjuries, they say Jove laughs."  In the Balcony scene, Juliet is worried that Romeo might falsely declare to her, because Jove (aka God) laughs at (i.e. doesn't punish) the sin of lying when it's committed by lovers.
This common Elizabethan saying comes directly from Ovid's Ars Amatoria: "Jupiter from on high smiles at the perjuries of lovers" (1.633).

That old Dorian Gray poster is hilarious.

Spider-Man 3 (2007)



Enjoyed 1 and 2 more, but a fun ride, save the last 20-30 minutes.

I need you by me while I read this stuff, it seems every line has some reference to a god or a mythical creature or something.

[Kullervo]

Spirit of the Beehive (1973)

Directed by Victor Erice



This is a heartbreaking look at the world of child whose aloof family forces her into her own fantasy world. I couldn't take my eyes away from it. I've never seen any films by Erice, but after this I will definitely be watching more.

Got this on my priority list (really liked his first feature). Doesn't her name mean spring in Turkish (to complete the seasons)?

[George]

So I gave The Trial another go last night and I just couldn't connect.

I had the same problem with the book. 

[sidoze]

I had the same problem with the book. 

Kafka's book? I love that book. What do you think was the problem?

[George]

It didn't make sense to me.

[Harry]

Brokeback Mountain.

Well.......................................

[Scriptavolant]

It didn't make sense to me.

That's probably the point in Kafka's trial. Not making sense.

Kafka's book? I love that book. What do you think was the problem?

I love it too, maybe one of my all time favourites. Who made the movie?

[Drasko]

I love it too, maybe one of my all time favourites. Who made the movie?

There were more than one films made by that book, but I think they were talking about Welles' which is utterly brilliant (except for the very last shot which is an overkill, in more ways than one)

Haha! I forgot about the final scene. Maybe my mind repressed it because the rest was so spectacular.

[Haffner]

My Kafka favorite is definitely Metamorphosis...such an ahead-of-its-time work.

[Solitary Wanderer]

Watched this last night:



It was very well done. Shocking stuff Its a sad and crazy world; ethnic groups will attack each other when the 'foreign' invaders leave.
