Sunday, July 06, 2008 Went to HMV yesterday when I had a little trouble in deciding which DVD to buy.I was undecided between having to buy Before Sunset or Primal Fear.In the end,I succumbed to the aunty side of me and bought Primal Fear since it was $9.95 and Before Sunrise was $12.95.Ha.Cheapo me. ![]() Anyway,I've mentioned before that there are 2 Edward Norton's movies I HAVE to watch.One being Primal Fear,the other being Fight Club.Checked with HMV and the staff said the new batch of Fight Club DVD won't be arriving until about 3 weeks later.Booooooooooo.=( So,I watched Primal Fear just now and I was blown away by Edward Norton's performance!!!I think Richard Gere was outshine by him.Ok,the gist of the story is that Edward Norton,who's called Aaron in the show, was acquitted of 1st degree murder for this well respected bishop and Richard Gere,aka the top notch lawyer, offered to help him clear his charges on a pro-bono basis.Well,it's not like Richard Gere is doing this out of kindness,he basically just did it out of selfish reasons.He wants to front the headlines for all major newspapers. So we see Edward Norton as this timid and polite man called Aaron who insisted that he did not murder the bishop.And Richard Gere believed him.Then!Out comes his split personality,called Roy.And all hell breaks loose because it was Roy who murdered the bishop,and not the timid Aaron. Edward Norton's performance was damn impressive.You have to notice his eyes!Take note of his transition from the innocent Aaron to the murderer Roy.The split second when he went from having this 'I am innocent and I did not kill the bishop!' expression to the 'Yes I fucking kill the bishop!!' fiesty look he has.Wah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EXCELLENT!!! No wonder he got an Oscar nomination!And that was his debut performance on the big screen!!! I realised that I've been spending alot on renting movies to watch.Ha!Like I've mentioned to Elaine and Shi Zhen,I can scrimp and save on every other things,EXCEPT for entertainment. I HEART MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!! |
