...Cavalier By Marilyn Ferdinand All I wanted was to sing to God. He gave me that longing... and then made me mute. Why? Tell me that. If He didn't want me to praise him with music, why implant the desire? Like a lust in my body! And then deny me the talent? (Salieri from Amadeus ) Thérèse had consciously aspired to the heights, often saying...

...cavalier attitude towards awards- so cavalier that said attitude included cuss words - so what's with all the 'Wow, look at me, I think I'm so big'-ness now Siiiiigh. You're partially right, of course, and I know exactly which cuss-filled award-hating rant you're referencing. If you remember correctly, though, my awards hate-on doesn't apply...

...cavalier inattention. 1) Godard's films became worse after the arbitrary cutoff point of 1967, over 40 years ago . 2) Godard's post-1967 films "alienate viewers" instead of inviting them in. 3) It's a bad thing for art to alienate and challenge viewers. Each of these assumptions merits some further questioning Zacharek's first assumption is...

...cavalier attitude towards life and marriage constitutes the most interesting aspect of the story, as we see one of the earliest examples of a swinging couple on screen (with Cary Grant showing up for a bit role as Sidneys new lover).

Ruggero Deodatos Cut and Run (1985) Review

2008-01-03 21:57:00 by Sarah in The Bloody Italiana Blog
...cavalier about what they just witnessed. I agree, but also think that Deodato gives way too much credit to American news media in his films. I dont particularly believe that even a cable news network would be okay with shots of dead, brutalized, bloody, crow-ridden, and decaying bodies that this movie shows. Feel free to correct me if Im...

...cavalier view of sexual relationships. The twist is that Selim is not really that bad -- in spite of the fact that he has kidnapped the girl, he actually feels compelled to uphold a time-honored tradition that he doesn't really believe. Selim is an aesthete who wants to embrace the ways of the Western world Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide ...
