Ah, but...

Posted by: thirty second garys over tokyo (a.k.a 80181597) on Oct 22, 16:02 in response to night of the living islander's post its funny, the more cynical, snarky, and bitter i get as...

... "The social network" is also so much about disappointment and repair, that "cynical, snarky and bitter" would not be among the first twenty adjectives I'd reach for to describe it.

But that said, the friends with whom I saw it hated it for the misogyny it depicted, which I think they took the film to embrace, endorse.

what does a musical without songs look like? {nm} forlorne Oct 22, 08:12

Lots of scenes in Wright's Anna Karenina are choreographed as if they were dance scenes... (some spoilers ahead) GalacticPothealer Oct 22, 08:50

thank you, it clarifies what, but not why :-) {nm} forlorne Oct 22, 09:09

I'm still wondering about the why as well :-) I'll chalk it up to Joe Wright's exaggerated directorial style and mannerisms. {nm} GalacticPothealer Oct 22, 09:58
