You know what totally annoyed me about The Piano? How the hell Holly Hunter's character could prefer Harvey bleedin' Keitel to Sam flippin' gorgeous Neill.
That just totally blew the whole film's premise to tiny smithereens as far as I was concerned. :D
I mean, c'MON! :p
The most erotic scene in that film was with Neill too. When Holly Hunter's character - I've forgotten her name, but she was an annoying cow - takes control in bed. With Sam at her mercy. *fans self* No really, it's a very tender, very remarkable scene, and it almost made me like the annoying cow. Almost.
I hated the last film Jane Campion did, with Meg Ryan. Ryan was actually very good, but the film itself was DREADFUL. The plot had so many holes in it that it leaked. And it was so gratuitously offensive and nasty ... if that's meant to be feminist film-making, then ppphhhfffftttt. Give me an honest war movie any day.
Great posts here, ladies. :)
I can only add a hearty amen to what mews1945 said:
Give us Aragorn. Give us Faramir. Frodo. Sam. Merry and Pippin too. They were all warriors, each in his own way, but they were also emotional beings who revealed the gentle facets of their natures. Women are the reason the Trilogy was such a huge success. Not CG geeks. Not fanboys. Women. And those men and hobbits are the reason why.
