I think his influence is seeping into my reviews, too (which isn't a bad thing).<br />@ S M<br />I think the lady was just as shocked as I was at how expensive the water was. She even shared popcorn with me (I only took a handful)!

Like, first I thought the first scene was a standard theme announcement, but when I watched it (just the first scene, I used it as a cinematic quote for a friend) again, I realised it was deeper than that.<br />I liked the rushed feeling because... I'm not sure, I know it's something to do with balance.

Nice use of parallelism in that scene (with the crossbow), but it just felt strange and rushed. <br /><br />This movie, however, is worth a second viewing, as I believe anything that is new and different in art must be experienced several times Greg Salvatorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730593838362270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137881528783061580.post-62219877267508349782010-06-07T22:10:51.923-07:002010-06-07T22:10:51.923-07:00Edward Norton is one of the very few actors my emo...Edward Norton is one of the very few actors my emotional involvement with whom starts anew every film.<br />If that makes any sense.<br /><br />Btw, what exactly didn't you like about the last act of Leaves of Grass? I thought it was the best part of the film, like an impromptu gain of balance. And where do you start the last act?Ronak M Sonihttp://ronakmsoni.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
