Dream with the Fishes (1997)
Funniest Film EVER
There is not much to say about this film other than it is the funniest movie that I have ever watched. I wish sometimes that I could just forget it so that I could watch it for the first time over and over again.
And it is hard to make me laugh.
The Wisdom of Crocodiles (1998)
I Thought That It Was Going To Be A Drama
I watched The Wisdom of Crocodiles the other day completely oblivious to what the film would entail. That is the title to me insinuated a regular drama with current heartthrob Jude Law as the main protagonist. In fact I was so unaware of this that at the beginning of the film I assumed that he was in fact a police officer, until he ripped into the flesh of a woman with his teeth, blood splattering the walls. Due to my complete ignorance it came as a total shock to the system, and this I think is what made the film so creepy and sometimes repulsive to me. This is one of the reasons that I like to go into things not knowing one iota about the substance. It made the whole experience a much more enjoyable one when I had no expectations and could sit back see what occurred rather than rely on an introduction. As for the film itself, it was one of the better horrors I have seen in a while, though still clichéd elements of all the other suspense/thriller/horror films. I myself though felt a need to understand if he had in fact always been this way or it had somehow infected him in later life. I enjoyed the tales that Anna (the beautiful Elina Löwensohn) told and her energy that just seemed to radiate through the screen- that was until the end of the film whence her behaviour is incorrigible- or stupid rather. I did enjoy the film; there is no doubt about that. Having no expectations and the pure shock made the film much more, real- no, intriguing. And I have already begun practicing the two hand writing technique. Oh, it was also British, which are a good start!
