First time a movie has replied to something i've said (SPOILER)
I think this is a fantastic film! Very much the british equivalant of The Graduate. Not in a sense of the same story but a similar feel of uneasyness towards the protagonist.
Anyhow, when I was watching this film I got to the bit where Alfie takes that guy's wife home (The one in hospital) and instead goes down the river for a romantic afternoon with her. As he kissed her I said alloud. "Alfie your a F#$KING peace of S#*T!". To my surprise Alfie looked up from the kiss then looked at me within a split second of me voicing my thought and Said something like "It don't matter if nobody knows". F#$KING BRILLIANT! What a masterstroke, the film maker anticipated my thoughts and attempted to Justify them on a personal basis. I've seen a lot of films and never to this day have I ever had a moment of connection like that with a character/scene.
