Meni ovo ne valja

[john_constantine]

ma gledao sam samo radi seksa Malo prenapuhana drama... A da li je zbilja zaslužila oscara, ne bi znao, morao bi opet gledati da potvrdim...

Ledger mi je ovdje bio jedina uistinu dobra stvar u filmu; ostatak mi se više-manje nije svidio i smatram ovaj film jednim u nizu onih novijih holivudskih uradaka koje je zahvatila uvelika ljigava groznica na temu rasizma.

Ja isto samo scenu seksa pamtim, no morao bi ponovo pogledati u cijelosti da se prisjetim točno radnje, znam da mi je bio ok, no možda mi se i baš svidi.

na prvo gledanje sam stekao loš dojam, spletom okolnosti se gledalo par mjeseci kasnije ponovo i to je bilo puno bolje tada.
