Fore-most I Thank this opportunity to recall Post-Modern mankind’s favourite movies of all movies : Casablanca 1942 . and to that tune it starts, with all so-familiar names and places, down to the very last scene – when the righteous misses “the” plane to freedom, although the infiltrators seem to go in-and-out of enemy territory pretty often and easily throughout the movie . so even there are high’s and low’s as all my movie reviews, this one’s a Go ~ no-matter-what //
[ The High Point ]
- The movie starts with a cool parachute landing scene, as lone as the bicycle pick-up scene of Black Hawk Down 2001
- No-doubt Brad Pitt is suave enough to pass as the modern Humphrey Bogart, Marion Cotillard is the short straw although magnificent acting
- The shooting practice as well as the actual assassination scene is a perfect Bonny and Clyde remake – albeit, too easy a job for Black Hawk Down standards though .
[ Then The Low ]
- The common problem with movies involving language sequence, awkward moments abound when Brad Pitt is numb trying to act as a fluent French-speaking Parisien //
- Nope the poker card-shuffling is going too long, thus a put-off if not a prelude to a comedy,
- Although they mention it twice during the course of the movie, and which will act as the catalyst of the story : I wish she would have played La Marseillaise on the piano for .. “Here’s Looking at you, kid”
Noteable clauses :
- “Come with me to London and be my Wife”
- “You’re a bloody fool – marriages made in the field, never work”
but again, “We’ll Always Have Paris” – Korea Expat BLog
