Irma la Douce
Okay, I decided not to watch the end yesterday… but now, I kind of want to know what happened at the end. Grmbl. Anybody willing to tell me or find a site with the full summary? *blink*
Oh well, but I enjoyed the rest of the movie. It was enjoyable, although not as funny as “Avanti!” and not as lovely as “Love in the Afternoon”. I also disliked the fact that the whole story played in Paris: the parisian flair just didn’t convey in this movie (very much unlike “Love in the Afternoon” which played in Paris as well). On the other hand, I love stories about prostitutes – which I, by the way, consider as something pretty much french: Think about Émile Zola’s Nana, du Sade’s Juliette, Dumas’ Marguerite (in “The Lady of the Camellias” who you might also know as Violetta in “La Traviata”), the girls in the Moulin Rouge – there are no women which are more interesting as a ‘social symbol’ than prostitutes, and France seems to be the most comfortable and natural place for them.
For some reason, I like Jack Lemmon… Actually I don’t really think he looks good – I didn’t notice him in “Short Cuts”, I didn’t even notice him in “Some like it hot”. But his way to move, his way to talk, everything is so special, funny and interesting *hehe* This makes me want to watch the Apartment even more now…
*sigh* I ended up not talking much about the movie, but always about other stuff -.-
Ah, so it’s like in that review you showed me. No real French flair. Hm.
I only know Lemmon as an old guy in his movies with Walther Matthau. (I don’t know if I wrote his name correctly. XD)
Well, that way your posts are more interesting for people who didn’t watch the movies. Like me. :3
watch The Apartment, it has the best Ending Line evah.
like woah…
Oho, so it is good? I have The Apartment around somewhere… will watch it soon.
But hey, I cannot imagine a better ending line than the one of Some like it hot.
(Scroll down to the end, the last few dialogue lines are written there… if you don’t want to be spoiled, then don’t click on the link – it works SO much better in the movie)
Havent seen “Some like it Hot”…but it sounds intriguing O_o
Haha the Apartment line is so in-the-face, it actually made me choke on my cookies (screw chips). It was as if the receiving person was whacked in the face with a wok, a very heavy wok.
What really? That’s not true! Some like it hot leads the “100 laughs” list by the American Film Institute! You have to watch it immediately! X-)
XXXD Yay, that was good… you’re making me want to watch the movie even more now.
