Deconstructing Harry (1997)
The cynical life of an artist that works better in fiction than in real life
A masterpiece of Woody Allen. If you like Allen's movies you will love this one.
With a set of great actors (like Billy Cristal, Demi Moore, Robin Williams, and a long etc.) Woody show us how his work is a reflex of his own life. Maybe the most autobiographical movie, "Deconstructing Harry" appears when the scandal about the Allen-Farrow's divorce has passed and Woody Allen looks forward to tell the world his side of the story. Is not an apology, is just a narration.
Above all is the Allen's cynicism. He doesn't go right with people because his acid ways with the others. People can't stand him but love his work exactly for the same reasons.
Is the art reflecting life or is the life that reflects the art?
Dying Young (1991)
Sweeter than honey. Only for the genre lovers
Sometimes moving, sometimes slow, this is a classical Julia Roberts movie. If you like the touching movies this is it. A young man has cancer and is condemned to death. A young woman is hired to take care of him and, of course, a romance is on view. You can see how love can make your few last days the best days of your life. Everything the young man does, he does it for her. She dares to love him even knowing he's going to die.
As I said before, nice but a little too sweet, mellow.
