2 Hours of my life I can't get back

Based on other reviews, I went in with moderate-to-high hopes. Oh, how mistaken I was. Instead I was met with a plotless film, which would have been fine if the characters were developed more. The only character with any color is Hugh Grant's Lord Byron, who plays the part with delicious cynicism and wit. The rest of the cast is pretty flat--none of them show any of the intellect or personality their real-life counterparts were known to have. The so-called metaphorical monster is less metaphor and more of a big guy who looks bored and speaks haltingly. His presence in the film gave me hope that the plot would indeed show up, but alas no. Apart from fodder for Hugh Grant gazing, the film does have an occasionally topless Elizabeth Hurley in a supporting role, though it took me a minute to recognize her due to her generous eyebrows (must have been filmed in her pre-Estee Lauder spokesmodel days).


why frankestein is a good novel?

a story that reveals once again that human soul is complex and full of desires. One of the best movies i have ever watched. It was a shock since i did not expect it to be so good. It is very easy to be misleaded if one seeks for a concrete story. This film is more about the pain of personalities in search of their lives and happiness to be found nowhere. It is a dark and subtle movie.Only for the patients though.It is very interesting to watch Hugh Grant as someone 'real' as well.


not very interesting

maybe i'm just too picky because i'm fond of the quality of recent bbc films. i did not think much of this movie (pseudo-artsy, in my opinion..very drab and plotless). the characters are flat and boring. honestly, i can't believe i watched the whole movie.
