The Age of Commercialism

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Bought the movie without knowing anything about it, because of stars Ashley Judd and Kevin Kline. I did have to watch it more than once before I "got it". The key to understanding the film, is think of it like Dickens' ghost of Christmas past. And realize that Angel Gabriel is showing Cole his life, flashed before his eyes. Then we begin..Loved the idea because of the period. Like ANY truly amazing work of artistic genius, you have to give this movie a once-over before it sets in. Once, to watch the biography. Once to soak in the Linda and Cole love story. Once to understand the complexity of Cole Porter's true nature. He is truly in love with Linda, yet has other preferences- for men.Strangely, made me think of Freddy mercury (see Queen: A Night at The Opera, documentary). Finally, you settle into the musicality of this film. Re-watch several times, and like a fine wine or a groundbreaking new album, you realize the genius that is in Cole Porter's lyrics, musical writing, and larger-than-life personality. Actress Caroline O'Conner does an unreal Ethel Merman-esque performance. How did this film not win multiple Oscars? Actress, Actor, screenplay, etc, etc. Standing ovation to entire musical cast, theatrical performers, and all the amazing hard work. <3 thank you. thank you. thank you. Want to see this on stage!!!

De-Lovely is excellent. I am pretty surprised that there are no Academy award nominations for it. The sound track is simply wonderful. Cole Porter's life is biographically and aesthetically portrayed by the director. The two leads, Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd, are perfectly cast and perform beyond perfection in it. That this is a mixture of gay and straight relational behavior in the same man is deftly depicted, and represents the period well. The sets and the choreography in many of the song and dance numbers brought me back to brighter times. A few of the singing extras did not quite capture the period perfectly, perhaps (Ms Morissette comes to mind), but the songs are all so wonderful, so that it is easy to forget. The director, Irwin Winkler, had to try to make a biographical tale depicting the music the man created in his lifetime, which he did wonderfully, while all the time giving the leads free reign to portray real human beings who loved each other, while continually pondering who, exactly, they themselves really were. Mr Winkler uses something of an artist's brush to pull this thing off so well. Not an easy task given the hidden (gay) subject matter of Cole Porters other life.

I have never ever been a fan of Broadway musical type movies, until I stumbled on this movie. I also never knew anything about Cole Porter or his life, much less that he wrote many of the very popular tunes we've heard.I believe Kevin Kline performed amazingly in this movie, along with Ashley Judd's performance. I believe they are the reason I enjoyed it so very much. The cameo performances in the film were so fabulous to enjoy with the various artists.Mr. Kline & Ms. Judd, thank you for bringing Cole Porter's life more into the light and for me to enjoy. Thanks to you, I now have another one of those FANTASTIC movies that I can put into the DVD player at any time and watch beginning to end, no matter how many times I've watched it. BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE!!!!

Brilliantly staged, superb performances by Kevin Kline and Jon Pryce, and those great Cole Porter songs (the reason for buying the DVD). And yet this film is profoundly strange, lurching between musical and biopic, as ambivalent as Porter's sexual orientation. Screenwriter Jay Cock's tone-deaf dialogue saps critically-needed energy from the film while characters stop the action to deliver formal speeches rather fire clever quips from the hip. But what can we expect from a film-critic-turned screenwriter? De Lovely needs more stacatto Hollywood dialogue that matches the style, grace, and elegance of the art direction and cast performances. DeLovely is actually 2 films at war with one another: an elegant, snappy musical versus a dull, literary biopic. And the winner is the musical.
