Cyrano (2021)
I am enduring!
Technically, as acting and as film, this is beautiful, honestly. Sets, costumes, and dialogues flow into a very positive visual experience over a classical, universally resonant plot. Audibly, however, and unfortunately, it comes with one of the worst, least tolerable scores in my long, lifetime experience. I'm almost finished, thanks be to God, and I have yet to hear a memorable note or tune. Seemingly untrained voices perk in prose through limited ranges in tuneless songs. Although I am 2/3 finished and tempted to fast forward at each new song, I have stuck with it without fast forwarding so far. Nevermore! Musically, this is an endurance test.
Weather Girl (2009)
Just what I needed today, and it delivers!
Although I have not finished Weather Girl, I submit that it is delightful. Romantic? Yes! Comedy? Yes! Beautifully acted by beautiful people in beautifully managed settings. I am loving this refreshing break! (Where have I been all these years?) The situation is credible, like the characters' responses to it. I made it this many years without seeing it, but I love it already!
I know it will bear repeating, although I am not known as a movie repeater. In that respect, it is like The Lady Killers and Down and Out in Beverly Hills. Some things just hit the wall and stick!
No blood; no gore; no violence.
