The Review: Something In the Air

Husbandman and I are interrupting the learning blogging to present to you this independent film review.  We saw a french film this week, called Something In the Air.  

Lway:  Husbandman, care to recap?

Hm:  Sure.  

(Husbandman then continued reading about Wimbledon on the computer and did not come back to our review until further prompting.  I remain courteous because we are all upset about Nadal's loss today).

Lway:  So, you wanna recap now?

Hm:  Okay, yeah.  Characters in their late teens get involved in revolutionary movements in Paris in 1970, each taking slightly different paths.

Lway:  They had conviction and passion, but did you think their movements were depicted in ways that made them look silly? Sometimes I thought that.

Hm: No I think they seemed sincere, maybe a little naive, but passionate.

Lway:  You're probably not quite right with that opinion. The movements were depicted as silly in many instances.  Did you have a favorite part?

Hm: I really thought the wild scene in the drug house towards the end was vivid and realistic.

Lway:  I liked that too.  I also liked when the Italian film makers were discussing their film about the Laotian workers.  I like to think about these small groups of people trying to highlight or bring attention to stories we don't know about. What about the old fist of 5?

Hm:  Going to give it a solid 4.  That's actually kind of high.  I'll go with 3.5

Lway.  I agree on the 3.5.  It was a little draggy in parts.  Still, a good film and if people want to see it, they probably should. 

Hm:  I'll add here that my score for The Internship would be a 0.  If anyone wants to see that movie, they should put a gun in their mouth first. 

Lway:  Well said, but we still love Owen and Vince.

Hm:  But just a little less than we used to.
