I could not agree more. Sometimes, and actually its too often that movies bearing controversial topics are shot down even before it has the chance to be shown on theatres, and with the way movies are shown today, its hard for an indie film, much more for a movie that carry a controversial theme to really break into the main crowd. Of course, it would only be reasonable for film producers to get back their investment, and it would seem better for us, the audience, if we get the chance to really savour films that are intelligent and discuss topics that we need to be enlightened, otherwise, we can just continue watching films like Fantastic Four and get nothing. I tried to watch it, but I fell asleep...unlike Half-Nelson or Little Miss Sunshine or Brick or Red Road, these are great movies! We need more films like these! - Admin Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:22:05 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/film_focus/indies/savage_grace/#comment-50 I go by my own judgement if I like a movie or not, and not always by a film critics opinion or judgement. I have not seen Swoon, but that too sounds like a good story. Disturbing that its a true story though. When you sort of think of it, its surprising in a way, how sometime when mainstream media frowns upon controversial subject matters like this in movies, and often these subject matters in films actually happened in real life! - Jan Wed, 11 Jul 2007 06:30:33 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/film_focus/indies/savage_grace/#comment-45 yes, the film got mix reviews, but I tend to ignore some of them, simply because they are from mainstream media, and some of them are already biased, leaning towards commercial type of films, those that will allow some of them to earn a living. I respect a lot of film reviewers, but there are some you can actually see from the reviews they have written that they are trying to promote (even protect) their own selfish agenda. I think its up to the audience to judge if this film is worth watching out. The director has a reputation for preferring biopics, and he has proven himself already, so i think given the chance that this film is being shown as part of the biggest film festivals, is already an indication of its appeal. - Admin Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:19:55 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/film_focus/indies/savage_grace/#comment-37 Even though nothing has officially been announced on the TIFF website yet, I happen to notice on the IMDb Savage Grace page, that it states that this film will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 10/07. It will certainly be interesting to see how this will be received. I did read I believe that it got some mixed reviews when it premiered at Cannes in May. Sounds like quite a complex story, and Julianne Moore is a great actress, and very striking. Eddie Redmayne is somewhat of a newcomer to me, but I\'d be interested to see him in this film as well. I happen to notice from the movie poster....Eddie and Julianne could probably pass as mother and son, since both have freckles.:p Thanks so much Jed for this very interesting interview with Tom Kalin. It really delves into what the story and movie is all about. - Jan Tue, 10 Jul 2007 08:59:36 +0100
