“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
I watched LU and was thoroughly disappointed. Among other defects, the film really doesn't do irony/sarcasm very well.
Also, for the most part beware of films with Di Caprio in the leading role... The man can destroy a movie quicker than Neil Young could murder the SSB!

I agree...
ReplyDeleteI made a vow many a years ago to never watch "Titanic". I remain true to that vow...
btw - Zizek's right about why diCaprio HAD to die in the end. Rich girl slumming fantasies must never get skewered, lest the large glass crack.
ReplyDeleteSpoiler alert: the boat sinks in Titanic
ReplyDeleteI made a vow many a years ago to never watch "Titanic". Pffft: that must be the easiest vow to keep! The vomit-inducing Oirishe Twang muzix alone!
ReplyDeleteSpoiler alert 2: the band played on...
The hype back in '97 for the movie was over-the-top. I still can't stand Celine Deion..
