Some things to see
8 March 2008
Well, I'm not cinema professional, so I have no right to judge how actor plays, how camera works and so on. But in general this movie made me feel positive (what happens not so often). Of course, this movie is quite simple, but it contains positive example of communication between man and woman, small pickup lesson and interesting behavior patterns (there are some things to model, in terms of NLP). For me it is interesting to see how people can behave to be interesting, so if you're looking for the girl of your dream, this movie is good to tune up yourself for successful and positive communication with woman. And it is also pleasant to see (for guys like me) how guy from 'lover league' have success with girl from 'upper league'. For me, this move contains more positive charge, than many high-rated movies. Moreover, I like soundtrack.

I understood the nature of Clint Eastwood and will not go to any other his movies.

Warning: Spoilers
Previous movie of Clint Eastwood "The Mystic River", was cruel enough too, but I like it much: it has different colors, bright personalities, intrigue.

MDB made me deeply disappointed. It’s full of aimless savageness and sadism.

This movie contains no plot itself. It's organized very simple: you see a woman, very nice, kind and cute, and all the rest of the movie you see how this woman crashed physically. This is not interesting and VERY unpleasant. Everything is created to make everything more sorrowful: sounds of crashed nose, blood, diseases, and personalities. Of course, main character must be a woman.

There are also some miserable personages. On closer examination, all of the movie personages are miserable: movie full of sadness.

Bad characters are simple and flat, like in children's movie, too bright and improbable bad.

The movie is very simple and one-dimensional. It contains a little bit of simple philosophy (just as porno movie contains a little bit of meaning and plot line), but the rest is conditions created to make you cry and compassionate.

By the way, actor play level of Eastwood and Hilary Swank is high.

Conclusion. I have understood the nature of Clint Eastwood and will not go to any other his movies. This is not interesting and not wise anyway.
