A big pleasure.<br />If u thought it was soapy the 1st time, and didn't enjoy it, i doubt you'd change ur mind/<br /><br />I think it takes a 10/10 for me to use masterpiece, hope in the past I didn't throw it around so easily.Alex Constantinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940311552608814201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500439238085712112.post-46140035420125483132011-09-17T11:06:40.630-07:002011-09-17T11:06:40.630-07:00Wow 9 out of 10 and it's no masterpiece.

Silly really, for such a natural looking film. But otherwise so pretty :)<br /><br />Color Purple always gets me with the ending.Alex Constantinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940311552608814201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500439238085712112.post-70657616339676994872011-09-15T03:28:14.472-07:002011-09-15T03:28:14.472-07:00Definitely an all-time favorite of mine.

Music, cinematography, Meryl - movie heaven! <br /><br />Some of the best shot scenes ever are here. Some distracting scenes with the studio obviously being the place, but nonetheless it reached the heights of breathtaking cinema, at least for me.<br /><br />In a battle between this and The Color Purple, I'd go with this, but both are great movies, I know I may change my choice. :)<br /><br />Excited to hear about Meryl!Malcolmhttp://mylastoscar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
