The Beautiful Washing Machine

The Star Weekend pg31 reviews James Lee's BWM to be art with F.

I will say - it should be a F minus~~~

Always justify your point rite? here we go

1 - never never ever assume what the audience know what are you trying to convey! Be artistic and sensible at the same time. Not everyone is an art / film student!

2 - its too monotounous and long. each scene doesnt have really an editor to do certain cuts which lead on to long boring -pleasekillme- mood which further darken the film - negatively not artistically that is

3 - 16 people left the cinema before the show ended. thats like alot! and hey theres only less than 50 in it. James really know how to like rip someone's cash off! hahaha

4 - i know its an art film but wouldnt an art film be even more credible and efficient when the audiences stays in the cinema, not talked, throw empty bottles to the screen at the end (not me, a guy infront of me did that!) or even like slept! people should actually benefit something from it? rite? rite?

5 - style is subjective. if you cant make people like'em, join em - i say. NOT - kill em!

6 - too many redundant scenes just to glue the scenes together to get a story which is like THERE IS NO STORY!

7 - many characters left question marks. dont really get the meaning of the characters or should i say none of us kinda remember who is who and who is what and who is why - characters are alil abstract in their own portrayal - perhaps its time slowness of the show :P

8 - there was a camera reflection on the washing machine ! helo! editor???? man!

9 - actors are quite - erm - bad (or is it me - i mean does all high artistic film need to have boring, ugly dark, dont move much and dont talk much character?). Not to mentioned that some characters look like they haven sleep in days and just did the movie for the sake of doing it! (no wonder no art director or makeup artist credited! )

10 - Ending seem to be alil abrupt - leaving audience like - ? and "so?" - not good not good and music only came out this kinda time - HELLO - we lose mood 15 minutes down the beginning.

THERE you go,10 reasons why i think its an F- but well - all films has its own "quality" and sense of appreciation (hey it got a sundance award ya!) If you wanna watch it - trust me! you need some food, sweets, a pillow and also a watch!

anyhow - i m learning html codes to refurnish my blog! kinda getting some design done too. gurantee! next month you guys will see a new blog ya

hugs
