10 out of 10

 

Some Like It Hot https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/some-like-it-hot-written-by-billy.html was acclaimed as the Best Comedy Ever by a number of critics, and Billy Wilder has worked with Marylin Monroe on this one too, just like they did on The Seven Year Itch -this is the year when Monroe is celebrated

 

Tom Ewell has the leading role of Richard Sherman, the man who feels The Seven Year Itch, when his wife and son leave town, New York, for the summer holydays near some lake – the son is supposed to have a paddle and canoe, or something else, for the water, and the paddle will be a recuring theme in the plot

Relationships tend to reach a point when Hedonic Adaptation sets in, maybe I will refer to this later, and there could be trouble – I know I am in deep s**t, the spouse even said she thinks of putting me in a home, or hospital the other day – unless they read https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-seven-principles-of-making-marriage.html

 

The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work, a classic of psychology by John Gottman, the one who is quoted by Malcolm Gladwell in another quintessential work, Blink, for his ability to have an accuracy rate of over ninety percent when he hears a couple interacting, Professor Gottman knows if they will stay together, or separate

Marilyn Monroe is ‘The Girl’ – she used to be the epitome of the perfect female – and she moves in the building where Richard Sherman lives, she rings him actually, which is something that happens in Breakfast at Tiffany’s https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/08/breakfast-at-tiffanys-by-truman-capote_12.html

 

A man sees this splendid woman and his glasses break, Sherman himself is stunned – who would not be – but he tries through the comedy to resist the temptation, he knows she has her photo in American Photography (or some such title) at some stage, but he stays away from the image, as long as he can, then he gives in

She drops a flower pot – in a recent Korean movie, the antihero wants to kill a competitor like this – and it comes near an accident, they then talk, she is invited for a drink, and this flat is so much better, because of the air conditioning https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/games-people-play-by-eric-berne.html

 

Games People Play is a third classic that came to mind, it looks as if Richard will try to have sex with this angelic creature, but then he sends her upstairs and is fighting the urge, sexual desire with amusing efforts https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-myths-of-happiness-by-sonja.html happiness may be available at the end

In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin

  In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin In The Fade has won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, although in this cinephile's opinion, Una Mujer Fantastica- which has won the Oscar in the same category- Nelyubov or The Square would have been better choices. Having said that, Auf Dem Nichts is a very good, significant, remarkable feature, that attracts attention to violence against minorities, in this case the Kurdish community in Germany. It is therefore not one sided, we do not have only Muslim lunatics killing innocent "infidels", but also some extreme Europeans murdering the other side. The problem is that, unacceptable, horrifying and vile as these acts are, it appears that the overwhelming majority of atrocities are committed by zealots acting in the name of Islam- radical and unrepresentative as they are for this supposedly peaceful faith, although there are passages in its holy book that seem to insist on a violent jihad and ultimat...
