  • Comment:
    • I'm just watching right now.   Rachel Griffiths sounds like speaking Welsh accent.   I like it.   Matthew Rhys and Rachel Griffiths play together in Brothers & Sisters, USA TV show.
    It was a moving film.  Welsh accent made me a little difficult to catch small conversations, but it didn't matter. As a story, one thing I couldn't stand was she used money all into horse racing after they won by their performance. They came back to their village and almost all people came to celebrate their prize, but they learn Annie Mary used all of them into horse racing.  They went back to their home one by one, even her best friends Hob and Nob. Next day, she went to Hob and Nob's coffee shop though, they were very cold and told her they couldn't talk now. She was devastated.  After her leaving, since Nob started sobbing, Hob has approached him and when Nob said, "Never.." while sobbing, Hob embraced him from his back while saying, "Shi shi shi".  I don't know what he wanted to say because of my poor understanding of details of story, but I had sympathy with Nob's sob. It's not the reason I like Matthew Rhys.

  • Comment:
    It's 70's story. Actually I've never seen Saturday Night Fever though, I know this background. At that time the place where they danced was called Disco and songs that were played were called Discothèque music (I'm not sure spellings).

    In this film, Matthew Rhys has got long hair with.   And it's kind of cute.

    Anyways This film is fun. You can enjoy comedy with feeling about old good days.

  • Comment
    This is the second time to watch this film without Japanese subtitles, but I found when I watched it last time, I missed many dialogs. It means I could improve my listening comprehension a little than before, because I could catch more than before.
    Anyway I'll write more later.

    Adrian Lyne

    Drama / Thriller
  • Plot Outline
    "Unfaithful" centres on Diane Lane and Richard Gere as a couple living in the New York city suburbs whose marriage goes dangerously awry when the wife (Lane) indulges in an adulterous fling.
  • Comment
    The three of them plays their character well. I think the casting was great.  Olivier Martinez's French accent is a bit difficult for me to understand.  The story of this film is not so dramatic, I think. Deployment of this story doesn't have unexpected one and it's slightly different from my expectation which I had when I watched the trailer. Of course I watched this film in English, so I guess I was not able to understand precise things. The end of this film, Diane Lane and Richard Gere were talking about escaping from reality with sleeping their son in rear sheet, at in front of police station. And finished at this scene.
