You place Elizabeth as a central, boring character but for the most part of the movie she seems to me just as much an spectator as I am. Even though it has big Hollywood stars and Norah Jones, the movie never intends to fit in any Hollywood scheme, which is perfectly enjoyable as long as you decide not to look for a traditional continuity or a clearly defined main premise. I found all the performance exceptionally accomplished, including the debutante Jones and the random Law. Like usual Wong Kar Wai delivers magnificent characters in that incredibly transcend their unwashed origins. Also, both Lizzie and Beth are obvious nicknames for Elizabeth. If you have ever worked in a bar or a restaurant you'll know that the people in those places tend to 'asign' you a nickname of their liking, regardless of your will. So I found very natural that she'd be called Lizzie in one place and Beth in the other. That goes without getting into all the possible metaphysical argument of the possible intentions behind having a character that has gone astray change it's name as it moves. I really believe you were very unfair judging the movie through a simplistic perspective. I do come to this website for advise on what to see and what to look for, I'm very glad I got to see the movie before being probably discouraged by your review. - bluefabrik Fri, 04 Jul 2008 07:52:24 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/film_reviews/2000-2005/my-blueberry-nights-dvd/#comment-1772 Great review, I really couldn't get into this one... I really do enjoy Kar Wai films and this seemed to have all of the great camera work as like some of his other stuff. Also to add, I love hearing Jude Law say the word "Blueberries" - Freelance Tue, 01 Jul 2008 08:16:24 +0100
