Scoop
It’s been more than a week that we’ve watched this movie, and I still didn’t come around writing about it. It was very nice, we got my Macbook running finally and watched it in the garden. At the end of the movie, it was basically pitch dark XD
At the beginning, I was rather reluctant to watch Scoop: Match Point was too good so the possibility of Scoop falling behind it is very high. Even though I haven’t seen many Woody Allen movies, I already have the impression that Match Point is his best work.
Luckily, Scoop is just as funny as Match Point, but without its great ending and the ‘message’ behind it. The quotes in imdb reflect about 80% of the greatness of the movie. The rest of the 20% have to be split up into 10% of other great quotes that are unfortunately not mentioned on imdb (see the title of this post) and 10% for the duo Scarlett Johansson and Woody Allen. They both truly are great actors and match together so well *hrr hrr* Even though I didn’t really like Scarlett Johansson’s stupid girl role in this movie, but it actually contributed to the funniness and she was not annoying, so I forgive her.
In the end, Scoop is another evidence for the fact that among all genres, I like comedies the most – but would I watch “Scoop” another time, I wonder?
i loved the part after Scarlett Johansson got dumped in the river, Peter’s being asked by the police, and ScarHo just pops casually into the hallway and says that she’d faked it
