Film bang

Whatever:))?

Schimbări in bine in timp?   Am urmărit filmul "Sânge și orhidee" și nu pot să zic, decât, că din nou m-am gândit la Kafka și la nedreptatea indusa de puterea dominantă, cea a rasei albe. Diferența era, doar, ca nu sistemul justițiar a creat problema, ci bogații care aveau ,,upper hand"-ul în Honolulu. Si pe deasupra, dreptatea a triumfat până la urmă, dar cu greu, si cu o victimă nevinovată. (moartea lui John). Ce n-am înțeles și în film nu s-a menționat, este faptul, că s-a facut intervenția de avort, fără a se spune, cine a ordonat-o. Presupun că Doris, mama presupusei victime, Heather. Oricum, în general filmul mi se pare f.bun contrar celor afirmate de un critic de film. Am vizionat și " China Town" și și "Anatomy of a Crime" și nu mi se par mult mai bune.....(www.magazinweb.net)
