it's clever that the camouflage Eugenia wears is so vivid it hides some pretty deadly poison. The drab little beetle is the one he really wants :)
I LOVE this movie! ... ( 4 months ago by toro2525)
I LOVE this movie! The opening of this film has to be the most ingenious I have ever seen: the juxtaposition of the savage and the civilized societies both 'painted' and engaging in a ritualistic dance of sexual dominance.

Odd, to use ... ( 2 months ago by bluebeanbaby)
Odd, to use ingenious and savage in the same sentence. Patronizing racist words like savage are as ridiculous now as they were in the period of time this film was set it. The noble savage does not exist. It's simply culture separate from your own. Anthropologists don't even have to tell you that, Disney's patronizing Pocahontas both mentions it and does it itself.
bluebean - you are ... ( 2 months ago by toro2525)
bluebean - you are reading a bit too much into what ive written. it was nothing more than a mere deconstruction of the imagery of the opening scene I was discussing, not a people. of course i know that the 'noble savage' doesnt exist, as it was nothing more than a mere societal (and racist) construct. my words were just a mere delineation of two (on the surface) very different groups, but underneath, their actions are the same.
I always loved this ... ( 2 months ago by QueenBoadicea)
I always loved this opening scene and I quite agree with you, toro2525. It is an artful and clearly realized depiction of the underlying similarities between two supposedly different cultures: passionate music, swirling figures, makeup, costumes, the mating ritual in thin disguise. What may astonish is the obvious lack on inhibition on the part of the women involved. They see what they want and go after it, even if it seems that they are waiting for the men to take the lead.
My point exactly, ... ( 2 months ago by toro2525)
My point exactly, Queen. Maybe I should have been a bit more clear in my description in my initial post, as I did not mean to infer any sort of racist ideology or misconception, just the depiction of the scene which, in itself, is quite beautiful. I would have to say it is my favorite scene in the film, in the depiction of the sexuality of the two groups - one overt and blatant, the other subdued and muted, but all with the same intention.
I read the novella ... ( 2 months ago by toro2525)
I read the novella back when i first saw the movie when it premiered. A.S. Byatt is rather prolific with her words, cerebral and dense, and you will definitely need a dictionary to get the definition of many of the words she uses.
Something of that ... ( 2 months ago by QueenBoadicea)
Something of that love of words comes through in the movie, especially during the Charades scene (quite complicated compared to what we would play in modern times) and the scene with the cards.
It is interesting ... ( 2 months ago by toro2525)
It is interesting in that aspect, how people entertained themselves with different forms of amusement and entertainment during this era (can you imagine us, in this day and age of television and computers, sitting around long enough to play charadeds? I dont think so! lol)
Why not? Board ... ( 2 months ago by QueenBoadicea)
Why not? Board games are still immensely popular and don't require electronics. Besides, there's always books--I prefer my reading matter to be hard copy rather than electronic. It's easier on the eyes. (.) (.)
Oh, by far! We ... ( 2 months ago by toro2525)
Oh, by far! We used to play board games all the time as children; this younger generation, who have nintendo, wii, playstation, they dont really know the joy of those pastimes BEFORE the advent of video games (some, not all). Some children just may not find them challenging enough than, say, working through several levels of a popular video game. And I NEVER leave the house without a good book in my hand enroute to work. ;)

A fair argument, perhaps I ran with my argument too briskly, thanks for responding.
Ahhh, bluebean, ... ( 2 months ago by toro2525)
Ahhh, bluebean, dont sweat it, as I can see where your argument was coming from in my initial posting. Everything is cool; and thanks for being a congengial spirit. :)
Do you notice how ... ( 2 months ago by QueenBoadicea)
Do you notice how both societies pressure the man into dancing with a woman when it's clear he's rather reluctant to do so? Matchmaking is an activity that crosses social boundaries as well, it appears.

I saw this film when it was first released & always thought it one of the best films of the decade. The A.S. Byatt novella is pretty good also. Marvellous performances by a great cast. Incidentally my ex pointed out that it must be practically unique in being filmed in one location, Arbury Hall, Nuneaton in Warwickshire. Oh, another bit of trivia, the novelist George Eliot was born there in 1819.

not hugely keen on the film, but love watching it as my sister is in it.
