The Age of Commercialism

best movie i've ever seen.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I'm not going to heap praise or scorn upon this film. It deserves a little of both, but it's an "okay" film.I guess it's successful in one sense at least -- Christian Slater's character does creep me out. But, he also made me think about all the people in our midst who are just a little odd and who are living very lonely lives because of it. So, overall, I would have to say this was a fairly good performance by Slater.Although she's busy enough, I've long felt that Marisa Tomei is an under-appreciated actress. I wouldn't say this is one of her finest roles, but she's good enough in it.Rosie Perez is here as a supporting actress. I don't follow her much, but it seems that every time I do see her in a film that she's playing sort of the same character. Is she type cast? In terms of the story, my complaint is that Slater's character is just a bit too weird to make it work really well. Sort of like the screen writer couldn't finesse anything...just went to an extreme caricature. I note that a couple of our reviewers pointed out that for a winter-time film there were an awfully lot of green leafy trees in a few of the shots. True, although I wouldn't have thought about it if it hadn't been mentioned here.This is an okay film, but it certainly won't end up on my DVD shelf.

I just discovered this movie recently! I was looking for a romantic movie and after reading the opinions on here about it, I decided to give it a try and buy it! I did like Christian Slater in Robin Hood, Murder in the First, Kuffs, to name a few, but after this movie he is totally at the top of my favorite actors' list!!! His performance was so true, so moving!! As for Marisa, I didn't really knew her before this movie, but she was also truly amazing in her role!! They make such a cute, believable, perfect couple!! I usually try to keep the tears in when watching a movie with someone else, but this time, I just couldn't!! Truly one of the most romantic, touching movie I've ever seen!! I wish there was more movies just like this one!

I've heard a little bit about Untamed Heart on TV and from a friend of mine, how sweet it was and very romantic. So I figured I would give a rent and see what it was about. While the dialog is extremely cheesy and a bit over done, I have to admit, I was... shudder... touched. It's silly, I'm not into the over romantic type of movies, but actually I have to admit that this was a good one. Untamed Heart gets under your skin and if you open yourself up to it, I'm sure you'll find yourself falling for it as well.Caroline doesn't have the happiest love life. Every boyfriend of her's dumps her and mistreats her; she's just a simple waitress who doesn't finish much of what she starts. One night coming home late from work, she is attacked by two men and is almost raped, but is saved by Adam, a bus boy that works with her. Slowly Caroline and Adam develop a strong love for each other, but Caroline learns a strange secret that Adam was a weak baby and was given the heart of a baboon. When he is attacked by the men who tried to rape Caroline, the doctors warn her that he is in danger of his heart, but all Adam wants is to have his heart full of love from Caroline.Untamed Heart is pretty much flawless, I'm sure that you'll enjoy it. It's very sweet and a loving film that anyone could get into. Even I got into it, which once again I say is weird, you're reading a comment from the only girl on Earth who hated The Notebook. But I did enjoy Untamed Heart, it had good acting and an original story that was beautiful. So please, I do recommend this film if you are looking for a good romantic film.8/10

Everything about this movie is next to being very, very good! the story itself and how it moves along. The casting is excellent especially in one of my absolute favorites, Marisa Tomei. Christian Slater slips down into character perfectly as you would expect him to. I didn't see who wrote it or adapted it, etc. Or anything else about this movie except for the three main actors in it and the story------several times over again over the years. It's just that good. you can revisit it time and time again. Since I'm keeping critique to a minimum I'll cover the best part of the whole movie. And that is that Marisa Tomei's role as Caroline amongst the other two, C.S., and R.S. shines just enough past them in being what the character is meant to be. The leading character, as well as, the character the story revolves around. She really does a great job making the character very real to you. And Ms. Tomei moves you in different ways throughout the movie. Of course I'm unabashedly bias. Christian Slater matches up really well by virtue of the patience that he shows in every scene and letting the story play out the way it should when an actress has the lead and is leading in a story and with characters like these.
