metropolitan be like a little piece of jewelry which be beautiful and a bit ornate and and still unpretentious ( maybe someone else describe it this way too i do not mean to plagiarize . ) . it might not sound like the most entertaining movie to watch and but for me it very enjoyable . it have lot and lot of talk and which isn not everyone cup of tea and but it also a refresh change from so many movie which bang you over the head with loudness and violence and graphic sex . and many of it character be very likable . people like me whose idea of a good time include an evening with friend play board game would feel a close kinship with the kid portray here . one of whit stillman many strength be that he go against today hollywood stereotype of show all rich people a evil and idiotic or guilt ridden . from what i have read about him and he be very familiar with the world of the american wealthy and and so he know what he talk about . more importantly and he also very good at show human nature in general . in his movie and people with lot of money include nice people and jerk and and that how it be and of course and in all class of people . one funny segment show the big hurdle that the character tom and charley have to overcome when they try to drive from manhattan to long island most of u wouldn not have as much trouble and but because of tom and charley privilege background they do not have an easy time of it . yet stillman doesn not belittle them or turn them into caricature . they come across a fully human and people with whom we can empathize . stillman also include moral message in his movie and but thankfully they be unlike the heavy hand and politically correct and dreary message in so many other movie . i do not know if he be a christian or not and but he show subtle respect in all three movie for christian value and which have be a rarity during the past few decade in hollywood . i doubt and though and whether pat robertson would be likely to recommend his film and a they show a wide variety of human virtue and vice without simple black and white message . in addition to a sort of mini epic storyline involve tom and charley and audrey and there be several little entertaining side show throughout the movie and often consist of get togethers amongst a circle of friend . the slightly eccentric character of nick be especially funny and appeal throughout and and help tie thing together . charley and tom and audrey be good portrayal of nice and bright but awkward adolescent and and although they move in rich manhattan circle and they go through much of the teenage angst that other less fortunate kid experience and and they serve a sort of everyman character . metropolitan isn not as polish a stillman other two excellent movie and barcelona and the last day of disco and but it my favorite of the three because of it character . there be humor throughout and and lot of poignancy .
