The thing with the student sounds pretty disturbing, though; maybe it's just that I work with 15 year old boys, but they're really about the least attractive, most awkward creatures on earth, and I just can't imagine anyone, even a 15 year old girl, thinking of them in a sexual context. Not to mention the obvious taboo.Deweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00395712971920800717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-7100530189805316602007-08-30T13:29:00.000-04:002007-08-30T13:29:00.000-04:00Verbivore - I particularly like this film because ...Verbivore - I particularly like this film because it let's you see who Dench is an actress, not a "type." A less imaginative filmmaker, or one who knows less about what great actors do and how to collaborate with them, would not have cast her in this role and she all there for it, as unattractive as her character is, she shows you more of this woman than you ever thought you wanted to see!Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511240514127283024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-89358408233200370482007-08-30T07:14:00.000-04:002007-08-30T07:14:00.000-04:00I saw half of this film on my last flight from Swi...I saw half of this film on my last flight from Switzerland to the States and it was too powerful to watch in that environment so I stopped. I've been waiting for the chance to sit down with it again and give it my unswerving attention.

It's one of those that needed everyone to hold up their end of the bargain to pull it off- the writers, the directors, the actors, etc. And man, did they pull it off.John Mutfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730205221787092204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-77610879188954319142007-08-29T18:51:00.000-04:002007-08-29T18:51:00.000-04:00As the ragazzo said to me last night, "I think I h...As the ragazzo said to me last night, "I think I have to own this one."Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511240514127283024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-28843597139418947702007-08-29T15:03:00.000-04:002007-08-29T15:03:00.000-04:00This was a terrific film, and Dame Judy Dench is a...This was a terrific film, and Dame Judy Dench is amazing.
