Sunday in the Park with George
Sunday in the Park with George
A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte by Georges Seurat is one of the great paintings of the world, and in "Sunday in the Park with George," book writer James Lapine and composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim bring a story based on the work brilliantly to life. While the painting depicts people gathered on an island in the Seine, the musical goes beyond simply describing their lives. It is an exploration of art, of love, of commitment. Seurat connected dots to create images; Lapine and Sondheim use connection as the heart of all our relationships. Winner of the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Originally broadcast as part of "American Playhouse" on PBS (season five, episode nineteen).

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I watched it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything from the first time. It was a little slow in the beginning, but make sure you stay on it. I like movies with a twist in the end. Very well done!! I highly recommend.

Wow what a waste of Rush's talent. For one thing this was so very very slow and painful. Even as slow as it was, it still could have been a fairly good movie if they had done the whole damaged girl that can't go out into the real world bit properly. Instead is was an unbelievable mess. And adding Donald S. didn't add anything to the movie or the story - a waste of his talent too. At one point I thought the girl was a vampire because she sucked up her own blood and said she hadn't put on makeup in centuries. And I have no idea why they included the building of a robot - had nothing to do with the story. And having his friend having problems with his girlfriend had nothing to do with anything either but still they had it in the movie. A complete waste of time. Zero stars.

This isn't a movie about mind-blowing plot twists or head-scratching mysteries. Those elements are there but subtly. It was genius how the director got the audience so intrigued and interested not in what would happen next, but more about how do characters feel like, their development and depth.The story is of Mr. Oldman the prestigious cold world-famous art-expert. Who isn't the biggest fan of human relationships, only taking pleasure in his still antique portraits. But this slowly unfolds very interestingly, and not in a cliché expected manner.What truly impressed me, is the third act with its major surprise; is that there was zero interest in the walk-through of how it all worked out up until this point, your usual go-to technique to explain a plot twist, instead, only the surprise was stated and instead focusing on the psychological aftermath of the protagonist which perfectly goes in tune with the atmosphere of the movie which is a deep look into the psych of a malcontent old man.
