NOT THE TYPICAL HOLLYWOOD MOVIE


WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT HOLLYWOOD MOVIES THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE FILMS WITH HUGE BUDGETS AND BAD ACTING. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SEVERAL AMERICAN MOVIES FROM HOLLYWOOD THAT AREN'T LIKE THAT, THIS MOVIE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT. IT ALSO WON THE OSCAR FOR BEST ACTOR AND RIGHTFULLY SO.

yes it did look different, the version i got actually looked like a tv movie of this time period, picture wise i mean, you have to stay quite focused watching it though, different than a 1h laurel and hardy flick airing. totally into the performances and narration.


so many different roles come to play,
can't certify the acts tomorrow nor today,
with a questionable storyline,
the cast and scenery kind of haywire,
and it all seem to change every hour,
if you could just balance me the right way,
and perhaps make sense of this play.

You're so right - and I never even noticed the tone, but there it is - down to the ending captions about Sunny's coma and the outcome of Klaus's re-trial.

Good eye - good call

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.

Actually, it`s dumb, overprodeced Hollywood pap at its worst.
