Input: Consider Input: based on the novel set in 1914 by joseph conrad , victory spins a tale of a pair of lovers , heyst ( william dafoe ) and alma ( irene jacob ) , who seek refuge on heyst 's isolated island .
however , their idyllic world begins to crumble upon the arrival of mr jones ( sam neil ) , martin ricardo ( rufus sewell ) and their servant , pedro ( graziano marcelli ) , who have come to steal heyst 's rumoured plunder .
while the novel is largely complex in characterization , the film sadly transposes conrad 's characters into lacklustre leads , the most disappointing being heyst himself .
conrad 's heyst adheres religiously to his late father 's ways of detachment and isolation .
his ascetic lifestyle is thrown into question when he meets alma , a helpless orchestra girl who charms him with her voice .
the struggle to embrace the arrival of alma into his solitude , however , is lost in mark peploe 's ( director and writer ) diluted version of heyst . without properly establishing the crucial details of heyst 's character , all that is left of conrad 's main character is a very shallow treatment of his internal conflict between detachment and human involvement .
on the one hand , actualizing the subtext is a mammoth task ( though not impossible ) , but on the other hand , dafoe 's flat acting can not be excused as an attempt at stoicism .
in the end , we are supposed to witness heyst renounce his philosophy and finally come to an understanding of what it is to love another .
the final transformation , while perceptible , lacks the cathartic revelation which is undeniable in conrad 's novel .
its absence in the film is unforgivable .
the film seems more concerned about moving the plot along when so much has yet to be said about the relationship between the two complete strangers .
alma is supposed to have overcome great emotional barriers in the relationship , namely heyst 's underlying philosophy of detachment , which heyst himself grapples with .
the struggle against heyst 's ignorance of true human involvement accounts for much of the greatness of alma 's love for him .
jacob , fair - skinned , gentle and yet passionate , handles the role with precision , detailing nuances where possible .
unfortunately , she is let down by a superficial script .
the couple 's relationship develops too hastily , leaving all subtlety effaced and replaced with a blatant show - and - tell approach .
all we know of the characters are mostly explained by their lines alone .
this is unsatisfactory when so much of the turmoil experienced by the two stem from their buried thoughts and emotions .
the sketchy handling of their relationship stands out as sorely as dafoe 's american accent ( an inappropriate one since heyst spent most of his life in london ) .
the other characters such as schomberg ( jean yanne ) , the owner of a hotel , and mr jones ( sam neill ) , also fall short of conrad 's meticulous characterization .
while schomberg should have been more menacing and vindictive , mr jones should have been portrayed as something more of an enigma .
sam neil 's caricature of a slightly stout , effeminate and soft - spoken gentleman - at - large nullifies the effect intended by conrad who describes mr jones as " an insolent spectre on leave from hades , endowed with skin and bones and a subtle power of terror " .
poor characterization aside
, kudos goes to rufus sewell for his excellent portrayal of ricardo , secretary to mr jones , a reckless ruffian capable of murder .
sewell , with his cockney accent and large expressive green eyes , becomes the true terror of the unholy trinity , masterminding deceitful plans behind jones ' back .
at the same time , we are entertained by the foolhardiness of his plans .
despite the authentic setting and marvellous cinematography by bruno de keyzer ,
very few images are left behind for us to savour after the film has ended
. sourabaya and its surrounding islands and volcanoes may have their charm , but mean nothing once the film fails to capture the essence of an epic , which is what victory deserves to be .
the delicately inter - woven complexities in the love story are lost to an inadequate production .
at the end of the film , we are told that perhaps alma 's victory was in teaching heyst how to love .
a hollow victory indeed .
the flying inkpot 's rating system :
* wait for the video .
*
* a little creaky , but still better than staying at home with gotcha !
*
* * pretty good , bring a friend .
*
*
* * amazing , potent stuff .
*
*
*
* * perfection . see it twice .

Input: Consider Input: a slight romantic comedy with a feminist bent , but one with no edge to it .
it turns out to be a conventional film filled with the usual clich ?
s and stock characters of this genre .
though it 's a well - written and well - acted fluff piece , it still does not have too much to say that is surprising .
it 's made for the gentle art - house set , those who do n't want something too disturbing to think about .
it 's about a critically successful writer husband , alec ( pryce ) , who is so self - absorbed that he 's threatened by his department store floor - walking model wife , kate ( bouquet ) , who wants to be a writer .
she meets his crass publisher , vanni corso ( walken ) , another self - absorbed man , and a predictable relationship occurs .
the fireworks occur because she outgrows her husband 's first impressions of her as someone who was impressed with his genius and worships at his feet .
she now wants her own identity and her independence .
the film looked like the usual sitcom stuff , and is plagued with the cheap set design features reserved for a tv movie .
the film sagged in the middle of the story from the weight of its tedium , and eventually landed on its rear end with its unspectacular climax .
it 's set in london , and it opens as model kate rebuffs sexual advances by a wealthy american shopper , vanni .
she later meets him as her hubby 's new upstart publisher who seeks to have her intellectual author husband in his stable in order to give him credibility as a publisher of quality , and he quickly wins favor with her by publishing her vanity novel .
alec who is an obnoxious grouse , someone whom it seems it would be impossible to live with , tries to do everything to stop his wife from having her book published -- which only pushes her into the grasping arms of vanni .
the publisher is proud that he 's a mamma 's boy who never married and is a self - made man who has earned millions .
he has recently acquired a failing old london publishing house and plans to revitalize it , as he proudly tells kate : " if my father could sell pizzas in harlem , i could sell culture in europe .
"
the only thing that could n't be sold , is this stiff story and tired plot line .
the mystery to me , is how the lovely kate could like either man unless she was an insensitive dummy .
she soon divorces the beleaguered alec and marries the soon - to - become - beleaguered vanni .
when she writes a second novel , he rebuffs her the same way her first hubby did .
it ends with the same results that happened to hubby number one , as its story of ambition and lust winds down in a whimper .
a business affair was loosely based on the real - life literary and romantic travails of married authors barbara skelton and cyril connolly , in their celebrated 1950s love triangle .

Output: N


Input: Consider Input: anastasia contains something that has been lacking from all of the recent disney releases . ..
( especially hercules ) .
.. emotion .
all the wacky characters voiced by celebrities and fantastically animated adventure sequences are n't going to hold anyone 's interest unless there is an emotional core to hold it all together .
not since disney 's beauty & the beast has there been such a compelling animated film with interesting characters and drama that works .
the story of the romanov family , the rulers of russia , and their downfall begins the film .
anastasia , one of the daughters , narrowly escapes the mad monk rasputin ( voiced by christopher lloyd ) with her grandmother ( voiced by angela landsbury ) .
but anastasia gets lost , and grows up with no memory of her royal origins .
the grandmother lives in paris , hoping to someday find her beloved anastasia , the only member of the family to survive the russian revolution .
a young woman named anya ( voiced by meg ryan ) runs across dimitri ( john cusack ) and vlad ( kelsey grammar ) , who are trying to put together a scheme to create an anastasia to fool the grandmother and get the reward money .
they pick anya to pose as their princes , and of course , it is soon revealed that anya is in fact the lost anastasia .
dimitri realizes that he can never win her love as he is a commoner , and meanwhile , rasputin is not dead , and plots his revenge against the last romanov .
the plot is actually quite well structured .
there are a lot of complexities that may have to be explained to the kids later , but it moves along fast enough that they 'll never have time to be bored .
what this really means is that the adults wo n't be bored by it either .
there is a great deal of banter between anya and dimitri that is very funny , and their relationship develops quite naturally as the film progresses .
there is , of course , lots of comedy for the kids , including rasputin 's pet bat , bartok ( hank azaria ) , who is easily the funniest thing in the film . however , the comical scenes never distract from the drama , but are worked into the plot almost seamlessly .
the animation is gorgeous - the characters seem to come to life through the talented animators .
not since beauty & the beast have animated characters had so much life to them .
even without the voices , they act .
the musical number in paris is a show - stopper , with some of the backgrounds rendered in an impressionist painting style .
as with all recent animated features , there are songs , however ,
these songs do more than just provide fodder for top-40 singers to get on the radio ( although there are three of them during the end credits ) .
the songs are all very catchy , and advance the plot , instead of just being showpieces
( except for the paris number , but that 's so much fun , it 's okay .
.. ) . i ca n't reccomend anastasia highly enough .
it 's a wonderful film that ranks right up there with other animated classics .
kids and adults alike will enjoy it , and it 's also nice to have a quality animated feature film from another studio besides disney .
