I am pretty fanatic about watching all of his newer stuff, though. So I believe you when you say he makes you hope he finds his way, even if he is kind of douchey as he goes about it. :) Great review...I'll definitely have to check this out, especially being his directorial debut.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-31465793006178935322014-03-24T15:55:58.518-04:002014-03-24T15:55:58.518-04:00I couldn't agree more with this review! For me...I couldn't agree more with this review! For me, the best part of the film was how it handled the treatment of women. Like you said JGL wasn't out on his soapbox but he got his point across in a wonderful way. <br />And the movie over all had some really great parts in it. Like the Rom-Com scene? It was so funny. <br />Really great review!DaydreamerNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15556096651213782055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-90835241657849292432014-03-24T13:47:24.317-04:002014-03-24T13:47:24.317-04:00Way different.

If you teach a section on pornography this might actually help you see the other side to it. It's not going to change your world or anything, but he definitely makes the character relatable.

I bet they would be awesome. Good points on the style. I really likes the fast cuts and the use of repetition, too. This didn't blow my mind either, but I was definitely impressed that he made this character so redeemable.

I actually teach a section on pornography in my Jurisprudence class so maybe I should see the film and see if it helps at all (I could count it as work time, I guess!)

I also really liked the editing - the fast cuts and the repetition of different scenes, in particular. I should really write more film reviews, already for academic reasons (I'm a film student), but I feel like I always have TOO much to say and then just begin the ramble. :DMilkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895194323920181272noreply@blogger.com
