Cherry bomb-
I have seen both and I thought both were very good.
I'd like to say something charmingly clever about Hedwig, but to be honest the minute I heard the "Origins of Love," I was hooked. Anyone who can manage to make Plato not only palatable, but interesting and singable.... Well, who am I to complain?
I also thought that the identity issues were very nicely woven into the story. There wasn't an awkward "Oh, he's reaching for an academic theory point here" moment, but the theory was there; it fit in the context. The film did a good job of confront them without false resolution.
I just saw so Ghostworld, so I'm still sorting out what I really thought of the movie on an intellectual level, but I can say that I enjoyed watching it. I'm having a bit of trouble sorting out Enid's character and I suppose the only complain I have so far is that I definitely felt that hers was the most developed character in the movie. The others were interesting and well acted, but just not fully flushed out. However, this could also be a function of perspective since most of the film is from Enid's point of view.
And now I'll stop babbling with little to no point, aside from you should go see the movies. |
