first of all, this movie is not dubbed. not sure what you watched.
also, if you think this movie is boring you must truly be a loser of the highest order. This movie has tons of subtext and is a very engaging story. However, it's probably better suited for the more intelligent viewers, so that is probably why you didn't like it.
cheers.
it's a seminal, legendary film. This is the film that got Craig hired as Bond.
lol
anybody?
it's a right cheerful little 90s rom-com
I really love it
we are soon approaching the 20 year anniv. of its release.
this movie is so important to me. i plan to re-read both books and do a 'redux' deep dive this summer on the film, JJ, and everything. no reason really, i just feel like doing it. this movie rocks IMO and has become a very big part of my life. (LTUM: Official #1 Worldwide Fan) ....it's just crazy to me it is 20 years old. is that possible? i swear! there is still so much to mine here. it's truly a one off genius work. many many layers (no pun plz) and angles. i still have a lot to say, and since i will have time to indulge soon, i aim to make use of it.
lol ....ADD?
lol a 17 year old post. wow.
i wonder where this OP is now. that is a long time.
i kinda agree with him, except that i also kinda don't. i think this movie has a really nice vibe. it captures london and the mood, street scenes. plus it has a lot of surprises that keep you guessing. it's a proper mystery in my book.
i like this film.
another thing is it reminds me of daily life in 2002, where i was and things i was doing then. also the state of movies then, and how the theater experience was so different from how it is now.
but yes, her tits were faar and away the best part of the film.
yes, friend, i have noticed that detail too. i pondered it a bit, and my conclusion was the same as yours that it's an odd slip by Fincher, being he is usually very meticulous.
yes i specifically remember being thrown off by the darkness, as you were. i remember wondering 'ummm, how come it's instantly dark?' (more like, WTF instead of ummm, lol)
let me just say, for anyone who has watched this as many times as i have, i know literally every single frame by heart lol and still love to rewatch this film anytime anywhere. there are some tiny odd little things i noticed about it here and there, and sometimes i posted about those, but none of those little hiccups ruined my appreciation for this masterpiece.
one is the waitress in the cafe and her resemblance to Mikail's daughter. VERY similar, visually speaking. i hate when directors make this slip-up. it throws me off because i'm wondering why he is so silent with his daughter in the cafe lol. "is he mad at her?" lol
(i made a thread about this, kinda trolling but i couldn't resist)
obviously i eventually figured out it is two different actresses, but my gripe is WHY EVEN make it close enough to place the question on anyone's radar? IMO they should do due diligence to go far enough to make a DISTINCT difference visually so no one will be distracted from the story line by wondering about silly incongruent details such as this.
anywho, this is one of my favorite films of all time. i love all of fincher's work, but this one is my ultimate favorite. can't speak highly enough of it. it just somehow strikes a nerve deep within me.... makes me wanna go to sweden and ride that train in the snow!!!
