The Real Nature of Terror is not Pulp

Rating: 6/10 (1 May 2006)

This movie is after all not so bad, but it lacks everything that stirs inside me after an 'interesting' movie. Well, you should say 'it not the movie stupid', 'it is you', but however...Along visual pleasure, a movie should scratch something on your memory or emotions, so that you can connect with the fictional world. Sadly, the only thing that leaves me with something is Portman who is a perfect vulnerable actress close to the flirtatious Scarlet Johanson in Match Point.
As for the Utopian nightmare, London as a Leninist brave-new-world-1984 meets Matrix-goes-to-the-opera is anyway my kind of 'bullocks'. Yet this nightmare is a corny fantasy as long as the authoritarian/totalitarian context is totally misconceived. I have lived my first thirteen years in a communist nationalist regime, and the fear, or the real nature of terror is just pulp here.
