Breakfast on Pluto
Well, I can honestly say today is a wonderful day because I have come across two Oscar Wilde quotes.
One of them was in Breakfast on Pluto which I saw today. I went to see it for Cillian Murphy. Unfortunately I watched Batman Begins, which is not a good way to go into the movie because Liam Neeson and Brandon Gleeson were in it. It was both their second movie with Mr. Murphy. I was half-hoping and half-fearing that Tom Wilkinson would show up and say,"Ha! I've been in three films with you. I now get a sandwich after you punch this card."
It was like Neil Jordan was trying to do Velvet Goldmine II in Northern Ireland. His touch was light enough ( I hated those two little birds after 10 seconds) and the more surreal bits were just flat with the exception on Kitten's infiltration of the IRA and the story of his mum and dad. The other two best parts were when Kitten finally finds his mother and a half-brother and my fav, when his dad tells him where to find his mom.
The imagery in that scene was great. Kitten (Murphy) was working at a peep show. He's doing his thing, which is a girl in a swing, but on the other side is his father, Father McCabe - yep, in both senses of the word. It put a fantastic spin on confession since it was the priest confessing to him, not to mention the voyeurism, reiteration of the family fairy tale (it's in the movie), and the erotic tension . Also, the lighting in that scene was great. It reminded me of a music video because of the reliance on images.
I don't know what Ra's Al Ghul and the Scarecrow are up to, but it looks really weird.
Also, I was bothered because in my search for images I realized that Cillian Murphy looks more like a chick in real life than in the movie. Seriously, who's hotter the fox on the left between Liam Neeson and Neil Jordan or the broad on the right?
