Wow! I just need to vent after having seen Sunshine last night! I would first suggest you change your purple logo to a shot of Fiennes vomitting on his shoe - it'd be more fitting on your website than it was in the stupid movie. I can't believe how it panders to a supposedly educated "art house" movie public much in the same way Reds did! "History" is more palatable with alot of fornicating? Come on - I think this is the all-time "F movie" what with such interminable fencing sequences I had a chance to take several naps. That William Hurt tried so valiantly to make something out of a character which had absolutely NO substance, could have been 7 different people or 3 seconds of a walk on, is pretty admirable - but who the heck cares about any of these people? Fine honorable historical sweep in reality has been trivialized by a fat cariacature of a Jewish mother who FAINTS (! come on!) and sweats, hates, screams, loves, forgives then dies; a Jarre theme so repetitive it rivals the TWO F'S in boring us to death & was especially trite when picked out moodily by a 6- year-old at piano; so many close-ups of Ralph we finally went out for more popcorn; interminable crowd scenes singing, clapping, stamping, riding tanks and saluting interspersed with authentic black and white footage (i.e. Reds garbage); sorry about this but several ugly women with bad skin and/or bad hair that we began to blame make up, costume and the caterer rather than the casting director; and come on a "FREEZING ARTIST"? Lordy. When we walked out of the theater we thought the movie had lasted for 9 hours. That movie is an insult to my bank account, my eyes, my mind and my precious Friday night. Give it the vomit on the shoe award. Whew. Now I feel better.
