So maybe I was LIKE Lermontov, just watching angrily because that's not what I wanted her to do or where I wanted her to go.

I feel like the film is utter perfection until he steps in and interferes (and who isn't rooting for the bizarre yet compelling liaison between Vicky Page and Lermontov?)theoncominghopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471519506797609837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-9185624669118809442012-04-27T18:44:55.473-05:002012-04-27T18:44:55.473-05:00I AM an intellectual?

I'm not sold.<br /><br />Yeah, I completely disagree with anyone that says a movie you love wouldn't get above a B- (and that's why, most of the time, I refrain from giving actual grades). Grades - in my view - shouldn't try to hit some level of how good the movie is in general or what the masses think of it but what YOU think of it.

But, I like what you say about that connection made and it's why I take my grading so seriously, and why I sometimes end up with strange grades. There was thing going around twitter that the movie you love are the ones that won't get above a B-, and I think if you REALLY love it how can it get such a low grade? But, it's part of the never ending argument as to what makes a great film, I suppose.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.com
