Eye Sex
Posted by robyngiannini on January 22nd, 2007
Does anyone else agree with me that they’ve never seen so much eye sex in a movie in my entire life? They may not show nudity and sex in older movies, but oh my gosh, Janet is extremely promiscuous with her eyes. She and “Ed” (Ned) really go at it. And it doesn’t stop there. Janet and Ned look EVERYONE up and down in the movie; relatives and friends of the same gender not excluded.
Basically, the characterization and acting in the movie is completely over the top, as is typical for many older films. I like how they improvise the plot of the book instead of trying to follow the plot exactly. When movies try to precisely mimic books, they inevitably fail. I think movies based on books are much more successful when they apply the plot of the book loosley, making the movie their own. I can’t wait to see more Janet and Ned chemistry on Wednesday…it’s pretty hot.
