*As a teenager, this happened a fair amount with movies. If too many people liked something, I just never saw it. This is why I cannot count either Turner and Hooch and Top Gun in my movies-watched-pantheon.
**I feel like I mostly see Mr. Day-Lewis in roles where he's all grizzly or icky for some reason. Not all tall and tanned and well turned out as in this film.
***However, we must discuss an interesting phenomenon. I'm calling it Decade Hair Creep, but it needs a better name. In DHC, some or all of the main characters' hair take on the qualities of the current day, despite relative historical accuracy of the rest of the film. In this case, I'm thinking of how quickly the two female leads lost their coifs and walked around for the rest of the movie with perfect early-90s tousled locks. At one point, one of them has even fashioned a very 1990's braid, on the side front. She had time to do that braiding, but didn't feel compelled to pull her hair back completely? Hmmm. See also: all the orphans in the 1982 version of Annie. Also, the mother in A Christmas Story.
Your comments about the ladies' hair, hahaha. Little details like that drive me absolutely nuts. I've seen this movie twice but long enough ago that I don't remember a whole lot about it other than a vague feeling that I don't like it.
ReplyDeleteI, of course, was just the opposite about movies when we were of that age and saw this one in the theater. We had read it in English, so it was a nice educational connection! I still have the soundtrack, I liked it so much.
ReplyDeleteAs did my brother, and I would often hear it through the walls.
