Ok, every
once in a while I must admit this is definitely the kind of movie you must see
today. So you can get your household
chores done while viewing the boring bummer. I was recommended to see this movie
by three young ladies at work. They were returning a copy to my store's Redbox.
One was friend of mine who is always complimenting my writing skills. While we
have learned to agree to disagree on movies in the past I rented this movie
anyway temporality forgetting this aforementioned discrepancy.
The
plot of this movie is fairly simple. A young British artist named Charles Ryder
(Matthew Goode) has a brief romantic relationship with a handsome youth named Sebastian
who has money, pristine and good connections. The spoiled debutant often visits
his luxurious ranch where he has an unique relation ship with his Sister. That relationship
is stretched to it’s extant whn Mr.
Rider discovers he also habors emotions for the vuluptious young vixen. When
he spies her at a ball thrown ten years later his memoires come to light and he
feels his nights spent ant Brideshead Revisited.
This 2 hour
sand 13 minutes snore fest of a perhaps all to stereo typical British drama is
not one to put high on your priority list or add to your Netflix queue. I
watched it pieces as I straitened up my overly cluttered one bedroom apartment.
I saw just enough of it to follow the plot which was drawn out and horrifically
sappy. I felt no loss when the movie but in stead an urgency to venture out
into the coldness and icy outdoors if only to return this waste of time and
Dough.
The
cinematography I’ll admit was breathtaking and the acting amazing as well. Alas
what good does that do if the story they are involved in telling is of no
interest to the audience. At least not this 35 year ld lonely bachelor. I
instead felt relief that I was not forced to see this dud in theaters when I
was locked into one Gummi Bear infested move chair and perhaps it is I who am a
stick in the mud curmudgeon but I found this film to be mundane and worthless
in this entirety and worth of the circular file a few feet from my desk.
