Come back few hours ago from theare, the sound was good, so not bad in the end!
I'm very excited!
Anyway i liked a lot LAOD,
for me that I was a teenager into those years, it was nice, reminded me very much the 90s, clothes, cell phones, heck I had a start-tac motorola exactly like Jamie, clothes, shoes, the models of stereo
the joyfully air which gives to the sex, lightheartedness.
A bit too bulky and grotesque the figure of his younger brother, the family of Jamie in my opinion deserved some more into deepening.
Would give a little more dramatic aspects, in short, you understand that the relationships between them are not friendly.
There is a lot of competition between the brothers.
A sunny movie though, and lighthearted, which is topped off with killer lines, coming very well, once the adaptation has been edited well.
All this talk about sex at the end gives somewhat a misleading idea of the movie,
the first half hour, when it is underline how, Jamie, tries hard to gain experience is very interesting.
There aren't all these racy scenes, and in my opinion, what is lacking a little bit is the sensuality, the director has played too much on the irony, that eventually stifles a bit on everything else.
The sex scenes are all wel acted, but i don't get erotic tension, but maybe as the movie is a comedy genre is in that way that works
I love the first sex scene very wild, and the one when Jamie holds Maggie's shaking hands,
i find vert very sexy just one scenes, when bot are liying in the bathtube, but it's just a fragment.
It 's very interesting, when Maggie argues with Jamie, she treats him very badly, almost attacks him, even though she knows that is not his fault, it's like she did not accept her own disease keep away others, because she do not want to feel pitied.
Jamie run away, because he's really wounded, but when he's just hear her crying, and go back on his feet to Maggie.This is the first time that happened something i wish in a movie.That scene is such sweet, really touched me. <3
I love the scene when she's sitting on the desk and staring at several pics mostly of Jamie and hands, her hands and Jamie hands, i love that part, that is a tense scene....
The characters are well marked, but sometimes I do not understand Maggie, i wish she did not do a bitch, but It's me, with the female characters in movies, i'm always very demanding, Hathaway persuaded me, no one can doubt that she's good, but i do not get her in some scenes, i find her held back, into almost all the nudity ones, instead Gyllenhaal gives new evidence of what he can do, that there is something he cannot do?Jamie is cocky, funny, ironic, and well balanced, he's such sweet when asked for all those info about parkison disease, something touch him deeply, and mooved him after speacking with the man married with a woman afflicted from Parkison, and becoming a little obsessed, he've spend also a lot of his money running here and there, but he don't care, in that he let comes out his feelings for Maggie, but ruins everything as he's too much caught in the middle of his obsession to treat Maggie form her disease, then of make feeling her loved.
There's a very interesting metaphor object / male / phallus / Sex / appeasement, when, finally, that snooty blonde, invites Jamie to her pajama party, she is not remotely interested in anything other than the sex symbol, seen here as Jamie.
Jamie, paradoxically, became himself the medicinal product he's selling, he becomes a sexual object.In fact, like a sex doll, is stuffed with Viagra, the medicinal product for which he's so popular, as if those viagra pills are batteries that put him into motion.Jamie is only an instrument of those sexual pleasure, of those two women, who do not care nothing but a kind of human vibratre, ready to fulfill their expectations, is not randomly that they force him to swallow many pills.Jamie is not nothing but a living being viagra.The man victim of medication that made him popular.
Jamie becomes the viagra, Viagra is a symbol of phallocentric sexual pleasure, that women want to put under control for their needs.
Classic in 90s, where there was a popular a sort of feminism, which tended to minimized the importance and meaning of men in society.WOW maybe a bit too deep, just some assumptions.... ;D
The Hollywood producers should open their eyes.
He's 'ironical, he's sensual, fargile, he's bastard, and physics, and troubled, he's determined.
I think the whole process into which Jamie becomes obsessed about the Parkison, is too fast and too drafted, a little bit more about the disease was not bad.
Maggie also does not seem to wait for a pretext to quit Jamie, so here is, the movie in some parts is not well balanced.
But in the end everything worked fine throughout. ;D
