  • Comment:
    It's not much different from other romantic comedy films though, I liked it.  The concept is quite good and story developed quickly, so it caught me.  This includes gay person but there aren't much actual scenes, it's like an imaginary world, there are only a few scenes with Matthew Rhys who was in bed with a guy.
    I've never seen the actress who played main character Jacks, but she is cute.  I know Santiago Cabrera from Heroes and I like him.  He looks very natural and pure.  I actually don't know other acting about him, I'd like to find other films or TV shows.

      Actually this is the very first film I found Renée Zellweger ever. When I saw her, instantly I felt she would definitely become a big star, extremely she was brilliant.

      It's a long time ago, so I don't remember when I watched this film though, I think it was around in 1997.

      A look at the life of Alfred Kinsey (Neeson), a pioneer in the area of human sexuality research, whose 1948 publication "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male" was one of the first recorded works that saw science address sexual behavior.
    • Comment
      If such a man was my father, I would be very unpleasant. I don't deny having a sexual conversation is needed for us sometimes and it's not evil though, he, Alfred Kinsey, is talking about too much, I mean he is very direct and he also has neither delicacy nor grace.
      Actually the main reason which I watched this film is to see Luke MacFarlane as Bruce Kinsey, but he only appeared a few minuites and a few lines.    In the delated scene, there was a scene he was swimming.
      The historical background of this film is in late 40's and early 50's and was strongly influenced by Christianity. I think many people who is living now never thought about such a practiced asceticism situation.
      Anyway in this film, Alfred Kinsey is written as a man who is a little strange but research ardor though, real he was a bit different from normal person.

      It was a strong Northern English accent. A little difficult to catch, but anyhow, there were Japanese subtitles.

      The story was interesting.

    • Comment
      That was fun. There are a lot of styles of relationship and scenes of love. I think people who watched this film may think about their experiences or expectations, etc. I don't write which story was the most interesting for me on purpose.

    • Comment
      I knew James Spader as a role of a solicitor from the Practice, American law farm drama.    And Eric Stoltz, his face was something familiar to me, but I wasn't sure, so I checked IMDb and found he was in Chicago Hope as Dr. Robert Yeats.
      The story itself was a little boring.    I won't watch this again.

    • Comment
      I've wanted to watch this film for a long time. The other day I rented this film from a rental shop though, I didn't have enough time to watch this. Finally I've watched. Jean Reno is good, also the girl who played Mathilda is good. But one point. Too much violence. There are a lot of shooting scene and bomb scene and a lot of blood. Unfortunately I couldn't understand precise things, for example the beginning of film, there were a lot of small conversations, but I couldn't catch all of them, maybe I suppose 50%, at most.
