To me, this movie is perfection.

A Major Disappointment

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Suzie (Christina Ricci) is a Russian Jew whose village was burnt down. Her father had emigrated to America. Her mother was killed, and somehow she managed to escape to Britain as a child. As an adult, she tries to go to America to search for her father. But all she could do was go to Paris as a singer and dancer on the eve of WWII.Writer/Director Sally Potter has grand ambitions for this movie. Christina Ricci is lovely as a pensive girl searching for her past. Johnny Depp is almost a mute in this. Cate Blanchett and John Turturro are both trying out distracting accents. The scale of this movie (both emotional and physical) just never matched its ambitions. And the ending just didn't have the required tension or pace. Like the rest of the movie, it just couldn't achieve the wished-for climax.

The Man Who Cried is a good movie, not great but definitely good and worth seeing. The Man Who Cried is about a young Jewish girl named Suzie (played by Christina Ricci who I am a fan of) during World War II, she basically gets separated from her father and then becomes a dancer in England. Then she starts working in a theatre, where she meets Lola (Cate Blanchett), a Russian lady who becomes her roommate and close friend. Suzie then falls in love with Cesar (awesome actor Johnny Depp). The film basically follows their relationship as well as her relationship with Lola, I am surprised more people have not seen this movie based on all the star power in it, Ricci and Depp are both awesome and Blanchett is also good as usual, I would recommend that anyone see this movie but children probably should only see it with their parents permission.

This was truly an up the middle movie. It started out really good but when Christina Ricci's character started her career it became really awful really fast. I liked Cate Blanchett's character but not her Russian accent. (Egads, that sucked lemons!) I liked John Turturro performance but I have to laugh when I think about the one seen where he was in the church. (He looked like he was giving himself the finger lol.) I don't know if Cate was not into him or John wasn't in to her or if it it was suppose to look like that but their lovemaking scenes weren't that great. I mean they were OK but not great. Johnny Depp was boring though he did capture intense a couple of times he really missed the passion train. Here he was playing a gypsy and he had absolutely no fire. He didn't turn me on at all and I'm not saying it to be mean or that I'm some great catch. His love-making scenes were rigid. He had no connection with Ricci's character. I have never seen anyone make sex look so boring in all my life. I did like the story,though it was uneven. I hated the death scene but loved the reuniting. I hope Johnny Depp never reads this thing.

I chose this movie to watch it together with my girlfriend as I expected some romantic and not fully ridiculous and at least half way sophisticated movie. However - it turned out to be one of the worst movies I 've ever seen.I really cannot understand how anyone can seriously rate this movie with anything more than a 1 or maybe a 2 for Johnny Depp fans (which I am!) The pictures and the style of the movie is quite good. However there is no plot and no character development in it at all. You will feel no sympathy for even one of the characters. It feels like a number of pointless scenes arranged an extraneous way. Every time you start to think about just stop watching the movie there starts a scene with some singing which makes you think that afterwards there really has something to happen - but then it just doesn't.I really ask myself what the aim of this movie is. There are no big feelings in it. I thought it might get more exciting when the Nazis take over France but it isn't as there was anything to happen afterward - luckily the movie is almost over yet.So one good thing is, that this movie reminds you of how bad a movie actually can be done and what a lucky bastard you are considering you never have to watch it again!
