Although THE SLEEPING DICTIONARY that is not well known and never had a theatrical release, which is by far one of the best films of 2002. My sister had to persuade me to first rent and then see this movie because the idea of a colonial British officer who falls in love with what is known as a dictionary of sleep ... who is a native woman who sleeps with a man while he was teaching the native language. Jessica Alba, who is best known for its passage in "DARK ANGEL", deftly portrays Selima, the native of sleep dictionary John Truscott. Hugh Dancy, who portrays John Truscott, is a young British actor who is in his path. Dancy and Alba have chemistry, and that can hardly take your eyes off them. The supporting cast is also excellent. Brenda Blethyn, Bob Hoskins, Emily Mortimer, Noah Taylor, Junix Inocian, and Eugene Salleh each portray their parts perfectly and add a unique flavor to the movie. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being lowest, 10 highest), Type I DICTIONARY OF REST A 10. |
I just saw this movie at the IFC. And it was a pleasant surprise when I began to see that. However, as progress was made, I just Boggle in the execution. First, the commendable performance of Jessica Alba. I'm from Singapore, and the setting is close to my heart. To an American, who has finally convinced me that it was local. His accent is weak, but again, what is the right accent? But I believe that the role played well. Other actors, however, is very flat. No ups no downs. Secondly, for the genre and setting, this movie can be much more. The script is very flat, the maximum levels are not high enough, and the low grip is not enough. I do not feel for the characters, and I do not care what this British couple is going through. Thirdly, I could not tell you that this takes place in the Malay archipelago until they told me well in the film. Just seems so contrive, by the lack of a better word. I should be angry, I feel sad, I feel that this is the most unjust world to live, yet ... All I could see is Jessica Alba doing a great job. I wish someone would write this script, and add to this story, removing the trash that is totally unnecessary and magical as this, since it potentially could be. |
This was an excellent movie and brought a lot of memories of my time with people who were in Sarawak. Costumes, people, the landscape ... All these are worth watching the movie even without a good plot. There are some moments in the price includes a conversation with the chef about drunkenness and wages and the relationship between young people and English people who were supposed to be governing. The Iban have a well-developed sense of humor. In general, the plot is welcome. I'm not a fan of romance, but this was well done and gave a glimpse of a people that are still largely the same until today (minus the head real game). If you've ever dreamed of an adventure in Borneo, the first watch ... that will convince you of the beauty and the need to go. |
