What's New Pussycat?

What's New Pussycat?

Excellent choice for a quiet afternoon. Or a light night with your beloved one and a good bottle of wine. I laughed on the silly bits, was annoyed on the very silly bits (british humor, you gotta be on the mood) and reflected on my own messed up life on the insightful (purposefully - or not) bits. Woddy's debut. Nice, uh? I'm feeling rather nostalgic. So let's begin.

It's all about love today. And pussycats. Aren't those the same? For the handsome lead character, it was. Tangled. When he fell trully in love and his fiancé began pressuring him into marriage. Familiar? The problem: he was a big womanizer. A cheat. The plot: he found himself a psychiatrist that is a convict pervert and put him in a group therapy for perverts. In the end, it all falls into place, with crazyness ensured on every step of the way.

High points. I just adored Capucine's character, Renee. Of course, she's crazy, like everyone else in this movie. But she has such class and pose and finesse. She is funny and frigid and sexy. Can you imagine that? Perfect woman. O'Tootle is the perfect gentleman and the perfect arse - we pity his weakness, we love his flaws. And on a certain light, he is almost handsome. LOL.

The movie goes by without you feeling it, like a warm sunday afternoon. Not a great masterpiece, but light and funny. For sure something I reccommend. Go watch it, kiddo.

The question: why some men tend to avoid marriage at all costs? It's a universal, atemoral tendency. They date, they get engaged. Some will postpone the fateful date for years, ludibriating the poor girl to then just dump her. Or to tell her he's not ready. The thing that he forgets to mention is that he will probably never be ready to marry her. Maybe it's her, maybe it's him. Actually, I trully believe that when  a couple have been dating for a while and marriage is on the table, if the guy is reticent to set the date and his excuses are vage and everchanging, the problem really is that he doesn't want to marry her. It doesn't matter how nice he is, if he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life with you, he's not worth of your time. Then again, what do I know? Here I am, on a Sunday night, drinking wine, watching a '65 movie, writing. By myself. Again.

Go watch the movie. It's nice...
