Just one of those films that can't quite get enough inertia to get people to watch in theaters... but as you watch a few clips here and there, and see the genius behind the writing and acting, makes you truly appreciate wanting to see the movie as a whole years after.
A "date" implies an arrangement between people. Alma springs a surprise dinner on to Reynolds and he's not happy to have his inner clockwork disrupted. He's a man of ingrained habit as a means of self protection. I adore this film!
It's like he's a little boy. She was fascinated from the outside by his talent, the elegance of his world - but that world was a horror show when you look deeper. If you don't play your part precisely in the manner he wants, he crumbles like a toddler. What an awful man. What I don't understand is how she didn't see it sooner. Maybe she kept giving him the benefit of the doubt, still hanging on to the idea of who he was, rather than who he really was.
maybe she thought he would come around because she sensed something in him at first. also, is not she from the working class, and he from the elite…the lifestyle alone would keep many people around, wouldnt it?
Its not narsassism ,its lots of tnings but not that. He hates , noise at certain times , food exact etc He has extreme sensitivity issues and exactness. She brings him low so that he can see tne beauty of intimacy tnat he has never experienced Why are we not allowed these characteristics,do we have to be perfect ?
I actually have empathy for him- it was an ambush but he just wants to know why. “This is very kind of you Alma.” He just wants to know what shes unhappy about, and it does take her some time. And she’s very careful. Both characters perspective make total sense. “What is this?” Enough with the small talk, just say what you feel. He’s very patient. As is she.
He could have been in gratitude. 😮. "Gosh, thank you for making dinner for me." ❤ Even if he didn't care for the sauce, he didn't have to criticize. 😢 Go cook your own food next time. 🎉
@Sabbathtage I absolutely understand that. What I'm highlighting here is the word play Believe me, I love and know this movie more than any other thing I my life
Horrible , no me gustó nada, el tema , la película está súper bien realizada, y las actuaciones, son verdaderamente , exquisita , pero personas como el existen en la realidad, y suelen causar muchísimo daño , solo una mujer extremadamente fuerte, puede luchar con un hombre así y librarse de este mal , que Dios nos libre , de alguien así ❤❤❤
The classic narcissist/gas lighter - takes a really strong woman to wrangle in such a man. Wrestle into submission for the betterment of the inflated egoist.
Reynolds? I insinctivly thougth of Gustav Mahler, but Alma was a little bit too shy for my taste. Trice as blate as Zahra Leander was my expectation. Method acting isn´t everyones buisines, I guess
@@kellieaugusta3792 The old dude is out of his mind. Just watched 10 seconds of one of his videos. Making smug negative comments on TH-cam is his way of feeling as if he knows anything at all hah
The pajama vest jacket and scarf combo is something…
It's like he took his bath, got in his pajamas and was like, "Oh f**k I gotta do that dinner she made..." and just threw that jacket on half-assedly.
awful
This movie deserves more recognition.

He's a lil brat.
The way he make the cross with his asparagus, is the clear indication of what is really coming.
This is so painful to watch....I went through the same sort of relationship...only these two actually talked...
One of my favourite scenes in film history
truly one of the best scenes in media of all time of history

He seems autistic

I had a friend like this cad.

“Is it because you think I don't need you?”
“Yes”
“I don't”
Well played!
I don't know if you understood how wrong he was when he said that.

Es que no le entiendes como yo ❤
Reynolds is begging for a pie in the face.
After he hurt her enough so that she would leave the room, he ate every bit of the asparagus and even licked the plate. Yummy.

I know what this feels like, too.
He has OCD
Or maybe Asperger, with all those routines, and sounds and tastes sensitivity, that kind of rigidity.
omg yes
Al contrario, potente!!

Why did you think of Mahler ? And what do you mean by “trice as blate”
@The1976spirit. DDL is method but I don't know that VK practices method acting, are you saying they both were doing method acting?
He is pathologically repressed.
Aw.
Delicious...
This is improv. Weak.
It’s not the strongest part of the movie, but it’s not weak.

Would love to see you do better than these two bud
