So it was bound to happen. I didn't think it would happen so early on, but that's life. I saw a movie I did not like.
I sat down to watch An American in Paris with a half-paying attention Rachel. The NetFlix sleeves said this film won 7 Academy Awards, so I'm under the pretense that I'm in for a fun night.
Yes, the scenery is gorgeous (I mean it's Paris, so you can't really go wrong). Yes, Gene Kelly is very charming (my wiki of him didn't turn up any dirt about alcoholism or child abuse so points there), but OH MY GOD what a silly movie. The last 'dance/daydream' scene literally felt like it lasted for an hour. I mean who daydreams in DANCE??? Especially what STRAIGHT MAN daydreams in DANCE???
Also who falls in love in like 4 seconds?? The whole thing just made me pissy. There are basically 2 story lines going on, Gene's love for this annoying french girl and this rich skanks love of Gene's stupid art. In the last scene (which lasts for about 2 seconds) Gene gets the girl (BIG SURPRISE THERE). And the semi-interesting story line of the art skank never follows through. The movie just ends. Thank god though because I don't think I could have handled any more tap dancing or day dream dancing.
UGH!
