Chris' Movie Questions: My MYSTIC RIVER Review
littleguitar:
I had second hand embarrasment for the first 20 minutes or so of Moulin Rouge... but other than that I loved it. Ewan McGregor is so perfect in it, I can almost forgive him for beating Jake to the part ::)

You had a second hand embarrassment? What do you mean? What happened?
I haven't seen this movie yet! :)

LOL oh sorry, that's a little joke between some friends and I, sometimes I forget people don't know the lingo I make up in my head.... I get embarrassed for other people really easy, and if I see someone doing something silly I usually get embarrassed as if I'm the one doing the silly thing... don't ask why, I have no clue. So, sometimes when embarrassing things happen in movies I feel that way, then I get to feeling embarrassed for the actors and director.... and the first 20 minutes of that movie are full of embarrassing moments (story wise and filmmaking wise, IMO)... That may not make any sense at all...
I swear, the rest of the movie is gold though, it's one of my favorites, I even enjoy the first 20 minutes or so despite my embarrassment...

The first 20 minutes goes at a really rapid pace.
I suspect Baz Lurman did this intentionally to weave out anybody who may not like the film in the end. In other words, if you survive the first 20 minutes, you're going to love the rest of the movie.
Those who came to the theatre in June 2001 just because of that Christina Aguilara (sp?) video were probably really bored and left the theatre during the first 20 minutes, which was good for those who remained...

Ok next: Mystic River...Clint Eastwood film. Won Oscars for Tim Robbins and Sean Penn...
