The Crying Game [Region 2] description
The Crying Game offers a rare and precious movie experience. The film is an unclassifiable original that surprises, intrigues, confounds, and delights you with its freshness, humor, and honesty from beginning to end. It starts as a psychological thriller, as IRA foot soldier Fergus (the incomparable Stephen Rea) kidnaps a British soldier (Forest Whitaker) and waits for the news that will determine whether he executes his victim or sets him free. As the night wears on, a peculiar bond begins to form between the two men. Later, the movie shifts tone and morphs into something of a romantic comedy as Fergus unexpectedly becomes involved with the soldier's girlfriend Dil (Jaye Davidson) and discovers more about himself, and human nature in general, than he ever dreamed possible. Like Spielberg's E.T., The Crying Game was supposed to be director Neil Jordan's "little, personal movie," the one he just had to make, even though no studio was willing to give him money because the story was so unusual. Instead, it became a surprise popular sensation, thanks in part to Miramax's cleverly provocative campaign playing up the hush-hush nature of the movie's big secret. The performances (including Miranda Richardson as one of Fergus's IRA colleagues) are subtly shaded, and the writing and direction are tantalizingly rich and suggestive; you're always trying to figure out the characters' true motives and feelings--even when they themselves are fully aware of their own motives and feelings. The Crying Game is a wise, witty, wondrous treasure of a movie. Director Jordan's credits include Mona Lisa, Interview with the Vampire, Michael Collins, and The Butcher Boy. --Jim Emerson |

A+++++ Acting
|
| I wish I didn't have alot of the dialogue memorized whenever I decide to rewatch "The Crying Game". That is the only drawnback. I love the performances the best, which are classic cinema to me. It's actually quite difficult to pinpoint the brilliances of each actor since they all trumped eachother with moments of brilliance in their performances. I of course love Jaye Davidson's character, I related to alot of her pain, and emotion. Miranda Richarson was the most intense and passionate and agruably maybe the best performance if I had to choose. Her character is so venomnous I want to bash her face in at some points during the movie. I always knew Forest Whitacker would go on to do more great things. Any actor that drools and spits out his mouth in almost every role is worthy of AN OSCAR!!!!!! He deserves the praise and the reward. Glad he won the oscar for "Last King Of Scotland". This is a timeless movie I can still watch every blue moon. |
