Cinema: Today I’ve just seen a film that makes me take back all the bad things I have said about cinema. It was a film full of passion, tension, guilt driven by honour and lust. We both came out shaking, not stunned. Stunned is the wrong word, that suggests that we had our senses blunted, no we were on the edge of our seats and enthralled by the escapades of the cast, intoxicated by the production and breat taken away by the photography. Every shot was perfect , the period details were flawless apart from one aeroplane shot. It was just so clever, the visual links, the sounds the music and the way they all were interwoven into the characters and plot.
On buying tikets, we’d noticed that the staff had their favourite film printed in their name-tags, things like Die-hard, Withnail & I , and we entered the auditorium thinking what would we have on our badges. Now I know, it would have been "Shipping news" or maybe, American Beauty. But they are superseded
