The wonderful Fabiana suggested the movie 21 Grams to me, and my God it was indeed an awesome movie. If you enjoy pondering your existence, or are enraptured with movies that make your brain cells pivot, 21 Grams is the movie for you. So many hidden messages and so many possible meanings that could occupy your thoughts for quite some time. Certainly the best movie I have seen all year and I suggest it to anyone. I might give a synopsis on the possible meanings later..
The character of Stanley Tucci doesn't help Tom Hanks with his dilemma because he's portrayed as a self-centered, obsequious worker who's out to please his superiors and he almost believes that Hanks would try to leave the airport. And he's betting on it to be able to arrest him and prove his and his team's effciency. It isn't out right mentioned in the movie. But as Tucci's character develops you can guess what kind of a person he is.
Zeta Jones' character starts talking to Hanks because he doesn't pose as a threat to her. From her character you can tell she has problems with being needed and being used. She's slightly vulnerable and tempestous though she tries her best to hide these facts. When she meets Tom Hanks and sees that he has no problem being himself, even if a bit stupid at times, she finds it okay to talk to him. From there on develops their friendship.
In my humble opinion, it was a good idea not to show the end of their friendship or relationship. Keeps it more interesting. Have you ever met someone and felt you clicked with them from the very beginning? And then when you left you just left because you wanted no strings attached or you simply thought it would be best to left things at they are because chances are that taking such a friendship or relationship any further might ruin it? That's what the end of the movie is trying to depict.
I liked it. Some good acting on Hank's part. A different story. And nobody pulls off 'survival' like Hanks. Castaway and Forrest Gump to name but two.
I can't wait to see him in The Da Vinci Code.

A couple weeks ago I saw Spielberg's Munich. There are some Spielberg-ish flaws with the movie (he's just too sentimental to fully pull off a calculated killer movie like this), but it was put together really well. Unlike Syriana, it actually does a good job of presenting a complex story in a way that explains a lot. And despite its length, I didn't get distracted.
One of the best movies I've seen this past year, though not the best.

Youre 100% right about Spielberg, he is way too sentimental.
If you have seen A.i you should know that the first half of the movie was directed by Spielberg after Kubricks notes and the second half was completely Spielbergs.
You can actually see when the movie goes from dramatic and intense to sentimental and boring. Im guessing that is where Stevieboy started directing after his own visions. Quite sad, it started off so good.
Why does everything have to be a fairytale ending to that guy?
