saddest love story ever, 18 August 2005
Author:

I rented this one thinking it might be an entertaining bit of tawdry
trash with some cheap thrills. It is. It is also one of the saddest
love stories ever. I can't say I "enjoyed" Another 9 1/2 Weeks, but I
can say that I love the movie's romantic streak. It's a terribly sad
romantic streak, but a great romantic streak nonetheless. Another 9 1/2
weeks is also cheesy and trashy. It's cheesier and trashier bits
actually work to the movie's advantage by adding much needed levity to
a very tragic story. Some have said the filmmakers should have had
Mickey Rouke's character move on after losing his great love, but that
would have diminished the power of their connection. He can't just move
on. She's gone and he can't change that. There's no way out from his
torturous pain. Mickey Rourke makes you believe it. The filmmakers were
smart in building their entire film around him. He truly seems like
he's been through Hell. His character begins the film in tremendous
pain and ends the film in tremendous pain. There's no happy ending
(although I like to imagine he changed his name to Marv and moved to
Sin City). Another 9 1/2 Weeks isn't an easy movie to enjoy. Very few
love it, but I do. I rented it, watched it, and then I bought it.
