The celebration

[Slut_boy]

Last night I went to see The Celebration. What a great movie. I think that I loved it every bit as much as much as I enjoyed American Beauty - and for almost the same reasons.

Its a Danish movie with English subtitles. Has anyone else seen it. Xander, did you see it?

I have seen it too. Yes it's a very good movie, with a few surprises build into it.

Hi ShyGuy, long time no see. Yeah, I was sure that you would have. It really baffled me that our local film critics gave it such a shit rating - crazy, I thought it was a wonderfully made movie.

ohh come on, you don't expect that those movie critics really have the same opinion about movies as us common people do, do you?? lol

Part of what I liked about it was that it's made according to the "dogme95" (I think it's translated too "dogma" but I ain't sure) rules. Some of those rules are:

Shooting must be done on location. Props and sets must not be brought in .

The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa.

The camera must be hand-held. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted

The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable.

And a few more. You can find the rest of the rules here:

Yep Slut Boy, I've seen it. And I liked it very much.
How is it, it goes. "Do you want the red speech, or the green."

BTW Haven't seen you around for a while. Glad to see you're back.

Thanks Xander. Yup, things have been a little hectic around here lately. But I am glad to be back too. Thanks.
