another pale of "nice"
2 August 2005
The thing that comes to someone's mind, by seeing a Woody Allen movie is the word "nice". As the naive art in painting, his work accomplished the same title in the world of cinema. Whichever movie of Allen you will see, it won't be great, it won't be bad, it will be a "nice" movie....and once again this movie is another pale of "nice". If you want to spend 140 minutes without exhausting your mind, but nonetheless have a "nice" entertaining, than it's your movie. Particularly if you're at risk falling asleep and then waking up, because it won't matter! I mean, i don't think i will ever see an Allen piece of art, that surprises me, it will certainly be nice and smooth. Not more, not less. It's almost like an established brand in the cinema. And dear reader, this little text of mine i am writing right now, by watching this movie. That shows quite "nice" the character of it... And the ultimate question is: "will Allen finally struggle for excellence, and try to make a "great" movie? When judging his wife, you must notice that he hasn't done it yet with his women.... Not a good sign for his movies...
