- What have I seen recently?
- The Usual Suspects;
On tv last night, for the third time
- on video last week,
- The Man Who Wasn't There: I'd been waiting until I felt neo-noirish and found out that, although it was photographed in wonderful b&w noir style and contained twists on wonderful noir cliches, it is a hysterically funny comedy of errors, along the lines of Dr. Strangelove, although thematically quite different;
- In the theatre last week,
- Spider
- James Ellroy's Feast of Death
I'm seeing that shifts in perception, shifts in perspective between real and imagined, is an underlying theme in recent movies. I remarked on it as a great means of getting people to attend a film twice or see the video after seeing the movie after I saw and enjoyed The Sixth Sense and have since seen it in The Others, A Beautiful Mind, Spider, and The Usual Suspects.
BTW, I'm now reading A Beautiful Mind and find the movie to be one of those rarities, like A Passage to India, which actually improve on the book.
