This visual may be taken as a sign of depressingly mismatched artistic judgment between critic and audiences.

But I sure ended up crying, at many a scene. I remember when I watched "Some Like It Hot" I had to leave the cinema and go out into the street and hide in a doorway, I was shaking and howling so hard as I cried. I had just broken up with a little blonde chick who was nowhere near as movie-star like as MM, but in my eyes she was. This was over three decades ago. The last rc I liked and cried at with all my heart was the movie "Point of No Return". It was phenomenally well done. If I want to cry non-stop through an entire show, I watch a "Hard Day's Night" or "The Beatles' First Visit to America". I know they are not much as movies go, but they are actually everything. German (perish the thought) filmmakers know that. And they have Beethoven by their side. The movie "Lives of Others" wouldn't have been such a humonguous hit, at least not for me, if they hadn't featured Beethoven during the scene when the bad guy goes through his transformation. Another German (perish the thought) movie that was built on music, entirely, was "Four Minutes". The chick was phenomenal. I just went into a different plane of consciousness, and it was very enjoyable. No, I was not on drugs, other than the internally produced natural juices my own body produced during the watchign of the movie. I’ve never laughed at any point in watching a romantic comedy.
