"It's as important to be able to describe what I'm doing as it is to do what I'm doing."


I saw the trailer of Chloe when watching Red, and I thought I would most definitely watch it - partly because of Julianne Moore, who I adore so very much, and partly because it seemed very interesting. The main character of the film Catherine, played by Julianne Moore, thinks her husband (Liam Neeson) is cheating on her. So, she hires an escort (Amanda Seyfried) to seduce him, to see what he would do, but... well, things get a bit out of hand.

I liked the movie very much. It was nicely erotic and also intense, and those two were nicely mixed. I don't know. Basically, if I categorise this simply as a drama - not paying attention to the genres "thriller" and "mystery", Chloe was everything I look for in a drama. But since it also was a thriller, I enjoyed it very much. (Thrillers are slowly becoming my favourite genre, I think). Maybe the plot was a bit confusing sometimes and some things weren't as clear as some people want them to be. But, well, I guess I like the movies where anyone can somehow have their own theories, like there was a lot of discussion about Chloe's character in IMDb Message boards, so I formed my own opinion about the character and her motives and such.

But I don't think I can figure out one thing I didn't like about this movie. Okay, maybe I didn't like Catherine and David's son, but then again - we never got to know anything about him. He went to therapy, okay, but what for? So, he seemed a bit annoying, but I guess that's mostly because we can't understand the character properly. But that's... okay, since the movie wasn't about him. But no matter how often I say that everything shouldn't be said, it would be nicer to explain characters like that. But that's the only thing that bothers me - but then again there wouldn't have been a scene where they would've explained everything. Like, why would the parents suddenly start talking about why he's in therapy and all that, since they already know? 

Anyway, I liked the movie, and I would recommend it to anyone, who enjoys drama, and... well, somewhat complicated drama. I guess.

Also, by the way, I'm going to start tagging all the movie reviews as the genres, since... Well, I don't want to tag everything simply as "movies", since that would mean that tag would eventually be quite full. So I'm going to do it this way. (Maybe one day my blog will consist almost only on movie reviews and all the other tags could get... smaller. I don't know.)
