If you believe in love at first sight, you never stop looking.
The colours of their eyes in the poster are stunning.
A friend of mine recced me to watch Closer (2004). I just obeyed happily, for an obvious reason.
Well, the movie is not bad itself, but it's not a movie for me.
To be fair, I've never been in a relationship like theirs, so I cannot say I have any empathy for the characters.
If you ask me, I'd say a foursome can solve everything.
Since the four of the characters have confessed that they've been sleeping with each other, why couldn't they let it happen and save the joy for themselves?
I don't count it as cheating anymore as long as the physical and emotional connection only exist among this quartet.
But I bet if they agreed to have a foursome relationship, they would cheat with someone outside the circle sooner or later because guiltiness was what they caved for.
Jude Law's character, Dan, was everything but a man. He did not know what to do, who to love.
Dan lacked of inner-strength, determination and gentlemanship a real man should have.
He attemped to dump his girlfriend, Alice (played by Natalie Portman), but then he could not avoid letting her go.
He thought he was in love with Anna (played by Julia Roberts) but his love was never enough for anyone.
Oh! He also bargained and cried like a little bitch in front of his nemesis, Larry (played by Clive Owen).
He hit a woman too.
There were a little bit of feminization / emasculation for Dan from Larry's vision.
Larry: He [Dan]'s very pretty.
Dan: I owe you an apology. I fell in love with her. My intention was not to make you suffer.
Larry: So where's the apology? Ya cunt.
Larry: She tells me you fucked her with your eyes close. She tells me you wake up at night crying for your mother, you mommy's boy!
Even though it was supposed to be a movie about boys and girls falling in and out of love, Jude saw a different aspect in the story.
Jude: "There's a certain amount of ego goining on between them. You could argue that for them it is almost more important that they're screwing over the other guy than getting the girl they're in love with."
Didn't his role, Milo Tindle, in Sleuth (2004) have a similar agenda while playing "games" with Andrew (played by Michael Caine)?
You think the men are fighting for a girl they love, but they truly don't care about any female organisms when they are contented with a two-men battle.
By the way, why is Jude Law always (be so capable at) playing a flirting manwhore or a homoerotic-hetero?
Why I got an impression that it's more than "just a good acting"? :)
