Advantages: Everything in front of and behind the camera Disadvantages: None
the tense nature of the scenes. This, it achieves grandly. Also highly apt is the music, or indeed lack of it at times. Again, the chase scene has virtual silence in terms of music, increasing the tension, while other scenes are peppered throughout the film by the use of a zither, a string instrument that is placed on a table to use. AntonKaras' score and his playing on the zither have been well lauded in terms of cinema, and the style has been used many a time in many different genres.
Vienna looks tired, war ravaged and confused, in the film, and it is perhaps this impression that makes the film that much more clear cut and understandable in terms of its twisting and paranoid characters. I found it a lot more enjoyable to watch than I originally thought I would, and to this extent, I would be happy to watch it again. There is a multitude ...
Advantages: Excellent acting, powerful story Disadvantages: Dated now
and powerful way. I thought that they portrayed the suffering of an autistic savant person very well and did not make the character out to be stupid or less of a man than he was. I thought that Dustin Hoffman who played Raymond did an amazing job and I am so glad that he won an Oscar for his performance.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Rain Man (DVD)
Advantages: Very easy to read, excellent story, wonderfully written Disadvantages: A bit slow to start
Although it?s over a month since I read this, I still think about it sometimes, and for me, that?s one of the things that makes a great book!!
The book is centred on Paddy de Courcy, an Irish Politician who is about to get married, but it is from 4 different perspectives throughout the book and we only actually meet Paddy through the other characters.
The book opens with a newspaper article - ?De Courcy to wed? before going into each of the characters individual sections for the actual content of the story.
~ Lola ~
The first section of the book is written by Lola, who is Paddy?s girlfriend and is devastated to discover that he is getting married and it?s not to her! Lola?s first section is over 100 pages long and is written in first person in a journal like form. I found this was quite difficult to read at first as some ...
