The Bobo (1967)
It was painfully obvious!
There isn't much about the movie other than it was pretty much sub-par for Mr. Sellers. However what I did find interesting was the Spanish dance sequence in the middle of the movie. I don't know who the dancer was, but obviously one of great talent. As far as I'm concerned it was the only thing worth watching in the whole movie but it was bad for the movie itself. This exceptional dancer filmed in such artistic form was absolutely thick with raw sensual energy and when they cut away from her to the two Bobo's the movie's lack of substance was painfully obvious. From that point on Sellers and Ekland seem shallow and amateurish.
Shall We Dance? (2004)
More Hollywood rip off!
Hollywood is so bankrupt and bereft of ideas and original thinking that it seems that the only thing they can do is to copy and imitate
badly. And so it goes with "Shall We Dance". Japans "Shall We Dansu", a charming, delightful, warm, appealing, wonderful movie is poorly imitated by the money grubbing, artless, self-centered Hollywood barbarians. It is so disheartening to see this constant parade of lumbering, badly over-acted, poorly produced, in-your-face, Californicated, tedious, ponderous, undirected, empty, Hollywood rip-offs. Is it the money or the ego that drives these people to violate something wholesome and decent or is it just plain nastiness. If Hollywood wants to continue making senseless empty adolescent wastes of time then that is just fine but please don't insult the rest of us by trashing real art.
