Just saw this on Netflix...it looked strange, and I took a chance. I'm very glad I did....
First of all, the music is still haunting me....this is a musician's movie.....dreams...a very beautiful woman....magic and desire...the things a cat lives and plays for.....if you did not like this movie, you probably couldn't carry a tune with a handle...if you play an instrument, and aren't moved by this movie, you probably play in a church worship band.
Mickey Rourke may have been slightly miscast....my only reservation...he is swollen, bloated and has been rode hard....but perhaps that was perfect for a out and down jazz musician....I think he did a good job. His "The Wrestler" persona was a bit hard to get by...
I heard that he said some things about Megan Fox....maybe he wanted her and she didn't respond...who knows. He was dead wrong about her acting. It was luminous.....I admit her unearthly beauty carried the day, but there was light behind those eyes....everybody was home, and she was an angel named Lily.
I don't think Bill Murray would have signed on to a loser....this was a classic film.
