Last weekend, I've watched the Match Point which is directed by Woody Allen but filmed on London, not on Manhattan. This movie is not so experimental one nor hard to catch up unlikely the other Woody's but you can say the conclusion of story differs quitely from traditions. (It's definitely not the type of Hollywood Ending)
It seems like to show the dark side of a human being as contrasted with the other side in the beginning. By the way, I found the story doesn't go the way I'd predict based on traditional stories like that. Instead, it concludes something which could happen in our real world. "The devil is not always punished" In spite of the tragic episode in the middle of it, the movie finishes kinda happy ending for our hero and it satisfied me as Woody Allen's way.
On the other side, the actors and actresses are doing good performance. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers did a hard job to show two different side of a human. His performance lets me recall Dostoyevsky's works like the Crime and Punishment or The Brothers Karamazov while amazing but poor innocent roled Emily Mortimer keeps acting cute. Personaly, I'm not quite attracted by Scarlett Johansson but her acting was perfect as a unstable and aggressive character.Since Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is not so popular actor for me and I've tried to find his filmography. He's acted little role back to 1996 in Michael Collins! Michael Collins was my favorite one with In the name of the father concerning Ireland and that is interesting to me. ^^
If you like something different, I'd like to encourage you to watch this one.

ReplyDeleteoh...i was impatient....sorry ^^
ReplyDeleteanonymous>> It seems you've watched this one. I don't like Jonathan's character, neither. But, he acts exactly what the character goes. Furthermore, the scenes of Lodon are beautiful on the movie. Woody Allen may be concentrating on the beauty of city blocks and focus on usual but unusual lifes in it.
