Smart People (2008)
A maybe-dumb view from academia
I would recommend this film to my colleagues or maybe the students as well.
Being a college faculty member, I did enjoy watching this movie. The interpretation of academic life is exactly what it looks from an insider's point of view, except that I have not got a student's crush yet.
Unfortunately, the ending is nothing other than Hollywood. The abrupt character change of Dr. Wetherhold seems sort of unbelievable. I simply wish it could be a tiny bit smarter. Because of the ending, I gave a 9 out of 10. Remember, I am not a professor who gives an easy A.
Une femme de ménage (2002)
Life is what you can not expect
A housekeeper, young and attractive, got into a relationship with her employer. It is because of her miserable situation of no where to stay? Or a true love happening? I doubt someone can give a clear answer. Maybe that's the nature of relationship. Something happens as it does.
What a great movie although a little sort of somber with the artistic twist. Maybe that's the philosophy of life. There is something unexpected however we cannot do anything about it. Why not let us face it with smile...
Forget about age of the characters. That is probably the shallow excuse to let those unexperienced people pretend they have understood what the director would like to deliver...
Highly recommended for those are still hoping but have to face the fact that life is not merely what people can hope for.
