Released three-quarters of a century ago, this epic film still resonates. O-Lan, the (Oscar-winning) female lead, is fearless and resolute in ways today’s feminists only dare dream of. And her goodness shines forth like rays of sunshine warming her beloved earth.
Existentialism for dummies. Oil roughnecks channeling Jean Paul Sartre in the snowy Alaska wilderness, with Liam Neeson leading us all astray. What a disappointment.
The gray everyday grind of the CIA’s early years are as far away from the sexy glamour of James Bond as fact from fiction. Not everyone is going to enjoy this glimpse at a shadowy world of suspicion that slowly erodes the soul.
"Enough of this lounging about in a purple dressing gown. Forget about filling the pipe with tobacco gleaned from the Persian slipper above the fireplace. And no more tedious interviews with pasty-faced housemaids or sniveling petty thieves. In Guy Ritchie’s 2011 Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows we have an action-filled battle with a worthy adversary, and Holmes is the prey rather than the unruffled predator."
Huddled in the first class carriage – we can almost hear the clacking of the rails and feel the steady vibration of the train - Holmes leans forward with his sharp and eager face to explain the facts of the case to Watson. Watch it if only to hear the most famous line in all crime fiction.
