The Pestle: In-depth Movie Talk, No Fluff | Film Review | Spoilers

Ep 138: “Notting Hill”

75 min • 16 februari 2021

We enter the blue door in “Notting Hill” and discuss:

cinematography, how you can see this is a drama and not a comedy;
acting, Julia Roberts’ performance;
writing & Story, the genius of exposition as a game, the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon;
music, and how they nearly ruined the ending and why I wish I could edit this movie;
and other such stuff and things and stuff.

“I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let people fool themselves. They didn’t bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn’t argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn’t.“ – Marilyn Monroe

Notes & References:
Frequency Illusion (aka Baader-Meinhof phenomenon)
