Did you people see the same film I saw?

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This movie came out 25 years ago so I already knew about the so-called twist. I probably knew about it since Ace Ventura was released because it satirizes the aftermath of the reveal.It holds up as a pretty good movie. Very good performance from Forest Whitaker doing what I thought to be quite a convincing British accent. Stephen Rea does a fine job as well as the protagonist. It's a shame that Jaye Davidson did not act much beyond this film because they are excellent in this role as Dil.I think this movie was a bit of a sleeper hit and these days doesn't really get talked about. But it's one of Neil Jordan's better movies as I find his directing to be a bit clumsy by the 2000s. Expect an above average shot film with unique story.

There are so many elements to this incredible film that I could go through, but they have been pointed out over and over. Suffice it to say that it has an intense, dangerous element, with forces at work that are utterly overwhelming. It has a couple love stories that transcend the ordinary (not just romantic love but that which holds us up as human). We have characters that are so complex and who reveal themselves to us in ways we seldom see. The plot is complex and engaging. It could be divided into fourths, with each part a single plot line which then comes back to center. There are no cheap, superfluous elements here. At the time, it was controversial and there was talk that it was simply pushing shock value. Put the commentary aside and be ready for the ride.

Released in 1992, The Crying Game was considered to be one of the most controversial films of its time, and it featured one of the most well-kept secret plot twists in movie history. This film was criticized in both the UK, where it was filmed, and in America, but for entirely different reasons. Within the UK, The Crying Game was not well- received because of the underlying political issues, particularly the sympathetic portrayal of an IRA agent. In the U.S., the film was criticized mainly for what director Neil Jordan referred to as "sexual politics." These specific elements, however, were precisely what drew audiences to the film. Neil Jordan's outstanding film deals with important themes of race, nationality, gender, and sexuality in a way that has opened my mind to a whole new approach to filmmaking. I have a tremendous appreciation for the way this film pushed boundaries, not for the sake of shock value but because it was absolutely essential for telling this story. It is my belief that artists should to be able to freely express themselves in their work, however contentious it may be. Controversial topics like those in The Crying Game should be embraced and celebrated rather than shied away from.

I didn't know about this movie well when I saw this movie. But I think it is better to watch this movie without knowing story much. If you don't know this movie, I recommend you to just watch this movie. I couldn't imagine what would happen next, and it is exciting. Actors and actresses in this movie are very good. I think Dil is really beautiful. The way Dil speaks, stands, sings, drinks, I think she is really sexy. The story is good, of course. I also like music. The story of a scorpion and a frog is interesting. People cannot fight against their nature as well as the scorpion in the story. This is a painful but a little happy movie.
