I'd say the marriage is less likely to work as Charlotte gets more independent. If John married her for her looks mostly, he's more interested in a trophy wife. Charlotte would find more intellectually stimulating men outside of John. There's just not enough understanding between them. John think sh...

I'm thinking New York may be a good central get-together for the two-punches to stomach!

It's pure idealism to suggest that you could never tire of your partner. But this is a sentiment common to young love. Bob's in one of those all to common "stay together for the kids" marriage. And Charlotte is obviously frustrated in her lack of intellectual reciprocation with John. Pockets, I agre...

Re: Will Charlotte and John’s marriage last?

Ironically, my ex-father is not at all intellectual, so my mom made the same mistake(s) herself. Just curious. How can someone have an "ex-father"? This either implies he has passed away, which then would more accurately be referred to as "late"; or you have disowned him. My first car, which I boug...

Scarlett plays an older (probably early 20's) and more mature woman in LiT, so her remarks as herself are no surprise. Her personal feelings around the possible romantic development between the characters doesn't reflect the director's intentions. So, her opinion regarding the matter is a typical te...

elisha cuthbert. d'oh! Oh, geez. Kill me now, not later. Yeah, I know. It's sad really, but inevitable. Hollywood knows a good thing at least. One of Jun Ji-Hyun's movies was already turned into a tinseltown flick: The Lakehouse which was originally Il Mare . Of course I prefer the original. The De...

I've seen the movie 17 times so far I think. Of course now my viewings are further between. But what I find is if I want to still get into the movie and become absorbed into it, I use all the tools at my disposal to get the most out of it. Such as, only viewing the movie alone and late at night; tur...

Great thread. Happy New Year guys!! I suppose I would ask her if she would ever consider making a sequel. I know most of us fans believe a sequel would take away from the original. However, I guess I would have to challenge her to make one that would in some way increase the original's importance. I...

Brief review.

I just saw Match Point. I missed the Mr. Harris reference. Will have to catch it next time. Overall, I liked the film. I thought the story was very good. I liked the analogy of the ball hitting the net and being suspended for a moment which could go either way forward or back. Without giving anythin...

Makes me wonder what she sees in this other guy who is a long distance thing. Why pick someone who is vacant over you? Sounds to me like she's denying what is right in front of her.

I introduced the movie to a friend at work. She fell asleep half-way through the movie and found it borring.

I guess there's just no accounting for taste! :roll:
