Delightful

I love movies! I was dismayed to read a less than stellar review of this title as I was looking forward to seeing it. Many gave it a bad review feeling that Clooney wrote a frivolous script and the also that it was 'mis-cast' ! I just watched it, and I hereby state the opposite. The script was serious when it had to be and tongue in cheek where it was wanted.......the cast and the acting were marvelous! Now it wasn't a Gandhi or Amadeus......but so what! Thank you Mr Clooney! I just found out I need to write 10 line minimum......why??? Anyway...some of my family were 'heavys' in fine art, antiques, music.......and I can tell you all for a fact....that 'humour' was a great part of the souls of them all. Just like Clooneys line to FDR upon being asked.......is/was Great Art worth a humans life......and his answer was yes! I suppose each of us if faced with that decision, comes to our own conclusion....but Clooneys contention that ART was/is a 'worthy' undertaking......I concur! And Humor....ala Carlie Chaplin, Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Sid Cesar, etc, etc, etc is part of that ART and Culture that is near and dear, to me anyway!
