Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): "
the end of the affair " is a dark and moody romantic period piece , that neil jordan exquisitely writes and directs .
although it 's slow and sometimes confusing to follow , it still manages to give audiences a moving experience .
based on graham greene 's novel of the same name , the film mainly follows 3 characters .
there 's maurice bendrix ( ralph fiennes ) who has an affair with henry mile 's ( stephen rea ) wife sarah ( julianne moore ) .
sarah finds henry to be a bore , because well , he 's just a normal guy .
it 's all work and no play with him .
while maurice on the other hand falls madly in love with sarah , and would do anything for her .
unfortunately the two break up .
this is all witnessed in a serious of flashbacks , so that leads us to the present .
it 's a few years later , and they both still think of each other , so maurice hires a private detective ( ian hart ) to see what sarah is up too .
while this may sound straight forward it 's not .
it 's a deep dark tale of the jealousy that lies in the two men , unhappiness , and the ever lasting love .
all this may sound like a drag , but it really captures your interest . with great performances by ralph fiennes ( doing another english patient type of film , only this movie is better ) and julianna moore who definitely deserves an oscar because out of all 5 films she did in 1999 , i believe this was the role ,
she had the most passion for , and you can see why .
the story was also well written thanks to neil jordan .
even though i did n't read the book ,
there 's no doubt in mind that it was just as moving and descriptive .
what 's so moving about it you ask ?
the tragedy of it all .
it 's not the typical romance , in which a guy finds a girl , they fall in love and all is well
, this is more complicated and depressing .
it really shows the complexity of a relationship , because nothing is ever perfect .
everyone feels a different way and that is what tears us to pieces .
back to neil jordan 's script , it was n't only red roses .
there were times when i felt it
too be a little slow , but most romances are .
it also tended to be a bit confusing , especially at the start .
it keep jumping around from past to present , so it obviously took awhile to get a grasp of things .
also a notable was the superb direction by neil jordan .
i 'd have to say this is his finest achievement to date , because quite frankly i 've never really found his work to be up to par .
it just never did anything for me , until now .
when it ends , it leaves viewers a little saddened , but provoked nonetheless .
this is definitely one of the best films of 99 , and had some of the best acting , most notably by moore .
not for all movie goers , but for those who are film buffs and want something of value .
