movies/tv Carol (2015)

[CrystalRarity 119]

Thought the (2015) was a good indicator that Carol is a movie, for some reason.

 

Anyhoo, yes, here there be discussions/one-liner statements/questions about the movie, Carol!  Starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.  for me, am still working on opinions, so someone else start with whatever they please.  *u*  have some general prompts, even..

 

 

- What did you think of the acting?

 

- Do you think Carol portrayed well romance between two people?  What about love?

  Followup: What about/How does that relate to romance/love between two women, either in the 1950s and/or today?

 

- How do you feel about the costumes/sets/cinematography/sound/score?  How do you feel about the OP lumping all of those together?

 

- For the 2016 Oscars, Carol did not receive a Best Picture nomination.  Some find this particularly bemusing as ten films may be nominated, and only eight were (And Carol has gotten a very positive critical response and many other award nominations).  Your take on this, if any?

 

- Carol is based on Patricia Highsmith's The Price of Salt; have you read it?  How do you think the two works compare?

 

- Favorite/Least favorite scenes from the film?

 

 

And please, of course, share your opinions on more specific aspects of the film, how you feel about the characters actions here and choices there.. you know how it goes.  I don't want to give out those specific prompts for some reason.. feelin like letting you bring them up yourself, those which occur to you. the rationale for this is a mystery to me.

and hopefully some people respond to this at all.  if you've only a sentence to say, g'wan and share, it'll get your post count up anyway, you know
