where to begin . this movie should be the dream of any sociology mind person . it analyze the best and bad aspect of humankind . unless youre emotionally dead inside and you will find yourself laugh and cry and and oft time pity . but most of all you will see yourself and a in the ten short youre bound to find a character you can relate with . my least favorite segment have to be love on the a train and the listener and and the 5 represent24 . typically steve zahn and jerry stiller can do it for me and but this short be all business and literally . you half expect when you see the both of them together that it go to be a comedy and but you leave the segment disappoint that you do not get what you expect . this be 5 represent24 in a nutshell . love on the a train be by far the most risqué of the short and but it do in a fashion that still make it viewable to even the most puritanical of people . it also the first time rosie perez have ever look genuinely sexy to me . for people who arent fan of her and you do not have to worry about dialog . i have always be somewhat draw to lili taylor for some odd reason and which be why i have a lot of hope for the listener . unfortunately and it do not have the bite of the other scene . there could have be some real development there and but since these be base on true story and any alteration to make them seem more cinematic would have take away from the reality these short try ( and on a lot of level succeed ) to convey . i do not list the red shoe simply because i be of a mixed mind about it . i absolutely love denis leary ( man have the best hair in showbiz and i think plus have a love scene with a topless liz hurley in double whammy elevate him to god status in my eye ) and and christine lahti command attention . i do not like the sketch because it be poorly do . i do not like the sketch because it deal with a subject matter you can quite easily relate with on a grotesque level . let just say one thing of lahti dialog might be true by the time the segment end . the red shoe tie in nicely with fern heart of darkness . both segment force you to look at a part of yourself you do not wear on your sleeve . i wasn not a particular fan of honey getter but i can not knock ajay naidu . the guy be samir in office space and which automatically exonerate him of any bad role or performance . if i talk bad about him i could never watch the movie again and and that would be a travesty . now and onto those i absolutely love representsax cantor riff be gorgeous . it draw you in with a mediocre begin with a mediocre start ( even though it include sam rockwell and a fledgling actor back then who move onto great thing charlie angel not withstand ) . then youre expose to one of the most beautiful scene and sound in the movie ( which be so initially shock to me the first time i saw this that it bring tear to my eye ) and follow immediately by something that attempt to convey something only the educate will understand . absolutely phenomenal . mercedes ruehl character in underground should be proof enough that old woman can still be incredibly sexy . she be 49 when this be release in 1997 and but you can not really tell . underground be probably one of the short piece and but it very expressive even though youre leave to wonder at the end if anything illegal actually take place . lastly and since i do not want to come off a pathological about this movie and manhattan miracle be extraordinary . i have always be an extraordinary fan of gregory hines and and this segment show you that there be a lot more to act than just remember your line . see this . you would not forget it .
