Love Me or Leave Me

Tuesday, 13 March, Year 4 d.Tr. | Author: Mircea Popescu

O, I forgot, that's right... you're going places.

Love Me or Leave Me este, pe linga titlul unui cintecel de prin anii '20 cintat de absolut toata lumea, de la Ruth Etting la Sammy Davis Jr. / Lena Horne si Ella Fitzgerald si titlul unui film din anii '50i.

What you buttin' in for ? I can't talk ?

Asa cum poate intuiti deja, filmul e o colectie de bons mots, butade si alte manifestari ale genului scurt oral si-n proza, chestie pe care eu o apreciez (poate fi si virsta). Daca dumneavoastra nu atunci poate v-a parea obositor. Virsta.

You wanna know whatc'your trouble is, girlie ?
You ain't got no faith in human nature.

James Cagney este in realitate unul dintre aia care s-au luat in coarne cu "sistemul" studiourilorii. Alaturi de nume cunoscute (Bette Davis n-a jucat intimplator intr-un film numit Market Woman) sau mai putin cunoscute, niste oameni cam singuri si fara resurse s-au prins la trinta cu ditamai establishmentu'. Nu putem zice ca le-a iesit, supusii a la Bogart au ajuns mult mai departe decit liberii a la Cagney. Totusi, nu putem nega c-a avut spirit, cetateanul (si vreo zece ani de pauza de filmari, ca deh... si independenta asta...).

Well you certainly didn't think I'd do a thing like that to yoou ?!

In mod cu totul ironic Doris Day joaca tinara rebela, genu' ala de pizda nesupusa si rasculata care se fute cu ceva mate-fripte gasit prin drum numa' ca sa nu puna botu' unde trebe'. Daca ati avut pisici cunoasteti sigur stilu', ca de-acolo vine (si apropo de care chestie, aveti cunostiinta de vorba aia de duh ca "herding cats" ?). Deci reversie totala, independentu' din viata de zi cu zi e un corporatist in film si reciproc. Ca-n viata. Sau ma rog, pelicula, ce-o fi.

Phhhhiuuu... the nerve you got! The gall!
Look... would you consider coming into the laundry business with me ?
We'd be millionaires in no time.

Filmul este o auto-parodie dragutica a unei teme stupizele (pizda nu vrea sa se futa hur-durr). Personajele sunt vivace si amuzante, atmosfera destinsa, se mai si cinta... Nu-i cel mai prost mod de-a petrece doua ore (ca-i si lung) da' preferabil in compania unei tovarase de incredere.

Distractie placuta.

I've tried it without help. I didn't mind it being hard, Johnny.
I just minded that it didn't work.
