bridget jones' diary for todays male.

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2004)

High fidelity, the book and the movie, is one of the few pieces I have encountered that deal with male insecurities in relationships.
Despite the fact we are living in a post feminist, post industrialised world, I am yet to come across any other literature or film that so aptly deals with the often neglected subject matter of male insecurities in relationships.
Obviously, the numerous musical references make this highly regarded for music lovers like myself. Overall, i think the core themes are accessible to people from all walks of life. At the very least it is quality entertainment.
The bridget jones' diary for todays male.
(Admittedly I have also lent it to the odd girlfriend who has had trouble understanding the motives behind my actions...those of the the average male)
