Sounds like exactly the sort of tear-jerker manipulative movie I would avoid, ha! But then, sometimes these things are so well done they surprise you and teach you a lesson about any preconceived ideas you might have. I might just check it out, thanks for the recommendation!Nomadic D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303665587576888183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983416889703222776.post-72182706273844109212013-08-06T00:36:25.511+02:002013-08-06T00:36:25.511+02:00I'm not sure and that's the truth but I wa...I'm not sure and that's the truth but I watched The Intouchables the other night along with the other half and found myself engrossed in it. Enough for me to put the laptop down and concentrate on the film which is a bit of a rarity and I had a little happy tear in my eye at the end. Just a little one. Sniff. But I didn't mind. And I had to read subtitles!<br /><br />http://butlerscinemascene.com/2012/06/18/the-intouchables-god-help-us-a-life-affirming-french-film/Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983416889703222776.post-38954551320333611742013-07-24T17:37:26.841+02:002013-07-24T17:37:26.841+02:00beautiful pictures.beautiful pictures.red dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17294248352133045498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983416889703222776.post-53198532187798739322013-07-24T14:53:51.222+02:002013-07-24T14:53:51.222+02:00Gosh, that is pretty limiting, huh? I myself only...Gosh, that is pretty limiting, huh? I myself only refuse to see movies that look like manipulative tear-jerkers, those are the worst in my opinion. But tension, violence, blood and guts, I'm pretty good with all that ;) This movie isn't what you would call a feel-good movie, definitely not funny or uplifting in any way, but on the other hand I didn't find it very sad or disturbing really. But then again, I may have a pretty high tolerance, depending on my mood. What kinds of films do you like?

Any blood and guts, I can't watch ... see there's a pattern here ... too much of anything and I can't watch. I also have a rubbish attention span. Which means I miss out on an awful lot of good films actually. Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.com
