I'd rather be lucky...





After watching Match Point last week, directed by Woody Allen, and with none other than Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the lead role (as well as Scarlett Johansson) I felt an inclination to hear her singing voice. I found this remake of "Summertime" on iTunes and instantly fell in love with it.

Who else has seen Match Point? Thoughts? Reviews? I was left in both shock and amazement by the end of it all. Jon Rhys aces it again! From beginning to end, everything tied in together so nicely; the script, the storyline, the acting. The only word to leave my lips once the film was over......? Genius.

Ania said...

I've seen it when it was out, liked it but didn't share your excitement ;) but it's so great when you discover a movie that makes such an impression on you.
I agree about Jonathan, he suits the role incredibly. He's made for playing intense, borderline creepy characters.

Natalie said...

Your hair looks amazing! I haven't seen Match Point, maybe I'll rent it.

Yes! That movie was crazy. I knew there was something creepy about Myers character. I liked the music with the movie too.

I am totally jealous of your hair. If I tried growing mine like that, it would be this huge untamable mess.

Protege said...

Stunning pictures, with a bit of "film noir" feeling.
I have seen Match Point, but it left me unsatisfied and sad. Too cruel and too bitter and too hopeless. But the acting was superb.
Hope your Friday and weekend are splendid gorgeous!;)

OOh I love the coloring in these photos, what kind of camera do you use?

The Style Rules said...

OMG I loved Matchpoint. LOVED. So intense, haunting, disturbing, gripping. Amazing movie.

♥ fashion chalet said...

Raez awww, thanks!! :) no- I've never seen the Island. But I have heard it's pretty cool and the music great.

Ale. Thank you. :) I agree about Scar. They could have dolled her up better or cast a different actress, b/c he's in lust/love over this woman- enough to have an affair. I didn't get it....

Ash Fox Adding those to my "rent now" list ;) thanks- hopefully I'll find them.

Emilie I only saw it once- but want to buy it so I can see it over&over&over again, Jonathan Rhys Meyer's performance is soooo mesmerizing and gripping!

Maria @ Chicisimo Thank YOU <3

Micaela Thanks for the sweet compliment- and TWITTER/FOLLOW, dear! :)

Blicious Thanks, doll!!! You always dazzle... :)

MITICA Your words mean so much, especially coming from a creative perspective such as yours! ;)

MJ YES, seeeeee it and then get back to me! ;)

Hey love,
Very interesting movie...I've seen Match Point at least 5 times, and just like any of Woody Allen movies, there is always some dark twist...but I was still quite shocked with the way it ended...so sad...but there is also a lot valuable lessons in it:)

Have a fabu weekend!

Erika, m'dear...love this outfit. It's just right for summer. And the fact that those shoes are vintage? Nice work bella!

p.s. I actually could not stand Match Point, only because I was enjoying right to the end where I was left severely disappointed and pissed off (and not in a good artistic way).

I thought it was self-indugent towards the end....hmmm, I did watch it a while ago so may need to revisit :)

how was your weekend?

thestilettoeffect said...

I adore "Match Point", it is one of my favourite movies! I love woody Allen's movies... so I can call it perfection!

The plot is amazing and Jonathan is so beautiful and sexy.

I totally agree with what his character says: "The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose."

And this is totally true :)

First of all THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for offering me your help. I don't think I'll need it just now- I left you a note in my latest post.
That said, I am AMAZED but your sequined cropped jacket. I mean, it's sequinned, right? I didn't think I like it but I'm fascinated lately.
And Match Point is one of my favorites. We wathed it in Philosophy class last year, because it deals a lot with the 'random luck' issues. Anyway, the film was fabulous.
