wolven7My mother wanted to have a nice family dinner, and it was wonderful. Chicken, and roast beef, and green beans, and mashed potatoes. Then my mother and I sat down and watched A.I. I finally saw it all the way through. Hmm.
I have a few problems with this film, but the largest and most... easily fixable of them all, is the visible departure, the break, where Kubrick's work ended, and Spielberg's began. It's about 25 minutes, before the end of the film, so as not to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it. All two of you. Let's just say there was a more introspective way to have him resolve his conflict, and still be true to Kubrick's intent.
Other than that, it was a Brilliant film.
In other news, i read an interview with Viggo Mortensen, in Entertainment Weekly, today, and in it I found one of the best quote usages ever. When he was asked why he doesn't get upset that people have only started buying his books of poetry and photography, and coming to the gallery showings that he produces, more, now, because of LotR, he replied, 'Bertrand Russel once said, "One of the signs of impending nervous breakdown, is thinking that one's work is terribly important.". . . That's just Perfect!'
He doesn't care why they're there, only that they Are. That they see it. He realises that, no matter how they got there, they're either going to like it, or they aren't, so oh well. That's pretty cool.
And remember: Vote Walken.
