I hated it at first, and then as soon as the movie was done, I realized how efficient and perfect it is. <BR/><BR/>As far as it being "realistic," I have to say that I kept thinking that more than in his other recent movies, these characters were actually characters, rather than types. They seemed more fleshed out and developed (like so many characters from his movies a few decades ago). In that way, it feels sort of like Woody has been re-charged by spending so much time filming abroad.<BR/><BR/>And I'm happy that you have embraced Penelope. She's marvelous. Practically every moment she and Javier Bardem were on screen together was cinematic poetry, I thought.Matthew Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342845330326884656noreply@blogger.com
