"When executives at some studios read the script, they told the Wachowskis that if they changed the character of Corky to that of a man, they would be interested. The siblings declined, saying 'that movie's been made a million times, so we're really not interested in it.'"
:)
a stylish erotic thriller with a killer plot and sensuality that’s explosive without feeling exploitative? that’s WHAT we’ve BEEN WAITING for! it’s what we wanted all along! and jennifer tilly TOPS??? get outta town!!!
if u think i have anything intelligent to say abt this film... u r wrong. me horny me love plumber dyke
so so good! gershon and tilly are fucking aces, i am shocked gina gershon is not asked to play a butch lesbian more often. i love the weird sweaty fumbliness joey pants brings to this thing. a lotta little moves here that they replicated in The Matrix- incredible to know the wachowskis have been right on the mark since their first film. think it was a mistake to recast it straight for the sequel but i don’t know i like that one too
"What did she do to you?"
"Everything you couldn't."
the acting... the romance... the looks... the cinematography... the overall iconicness and lesbianism... im a bit obsessed
I should give Sense8 another chance someday when I have the energy to watch TV again.
There is a very clear precision to the way the Wachowskis write their films. Plot is important but not always coherent, as emotional payoffs matter more than anything else. Character is key but it doesn't have to be complex, deep, nuanced; it just has to be relatable on some level, some basic understanding. Theme is strong, but direct, blatant. Setting is a rich flavoring layered in there, so you know it's Chicago even when it isn't.
And style is above all. Not simply style, but loud style. Over-the-top. Iconic, or trying to be, in everything. The sort of imagery and dialogue and costuming and…
it’s kind of crazy how nobody ever talks about the literal best movie ever made lol
