INTOLERABLE CRUELTY
"Dismiss your vows, your feigned tears, your flattery;
For where a heart is hard they make no battery." - Venus and Adonis

This movie is another interesting satire from the Coen brothers (Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou?). It's a story about two hardened, cunning people whose paths crossed as each tried to outsmart each other for money. Miles Massey is a divorce attorney who has a good reputation of winning his cases, no matter who was at fault or to blame. Marilyn Rexroth is your classic bottom-feeder, who plots to "gain her independence". Marilyn lost her case and everything she aspired for, and things went awry. What follows afterwards is a battle of the two people who, in spite of themselves, does have a solid attraction for each other. "Can I trust you?" This line is uttered quite a few times in the movie, highlighting our vulnerability when it comes to love. The mere asking of the question is an acknowledgement that no matter how hardened or disinterested we think we are, romance and love after all makes the world go around. Not wealth or power. And yeah, love makes fools out of us :)

I liked Fargo and Brother Where Art Thou more than Intolerable Cruelty, but probably because the story hits close to home, see.. :) But this is another good (Coen) movie. Great comedy. Wonderful actors (yeah, Billy Bob!!), and I can't help but look in awe everytime Catherine Zeta Jones graces the screen. I think she is simply the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Grabe. I'm crushing on her now. Hehe.
