Topic: (VIDEO) "Scarface" (6/10) Forum: JoBlo

Very often when a film is being reviewed, the mental and emotional state of the critic has it's effect. I forget who exactly, but one critic preempted his review of "English Patient," by saying 'Before you read this, know that I was in the first row, getting a neck-ache over the course of 2 1/2 hours...' Even more, many times a film begins with signs of brilliance, only to peeter out as the film concludes. The reverse also occurs when a movie's opening is so off-putting, that you are completely taken out of the narrative. All of this takes us to one particular result relating to Brock's alleged harsh review of "Scarface" - many times a film catches extra flack when disappointment is involved. When I saw "Saving Private Ryan," I found the sentimental, A League Of Their Own-ish opening too disgusting to ever fully partake in the narrative -- thus I still ride the movie hard, though I have later realized some of it's ingenious too. Said simply, I think Brock's disappointment with the latter part of "Scarface" may be the cause for what some consider to be a slighted review. Am I correct, Brock??? Lata fellas
