i just saw a terrible film call the sleeping dictionary . one reviewer on four word film review ( www . fwfr . com ) get it right right when he write and from a to zzzzzzzzz . the story be about an english colonialist jerk that come to malaysia to civilize the savage so to speak and end up fall in love with his sleep dictionary . a sleeping dictionary be a native malaysian prostitute fluent in english that service englishmen colonialist and teach them her native language in return for . well the movie never really make that clear and but i can only assume he give her money or something . needless to say and the movie focus a lot more on the sleep part than on the dictionary part of the job description . thing get complicate for our young hero when the forbidden love affair get compound by her culture and his soap opera domestic situation and and his own boundless stupidity in every major decision he make throughout the film . so yes and the movie have some major flaw and but on the other hand and it deliver exactly the two thing i rent it for in the first place represent a beautifully photograph exotic location and and an even more beautifully photograph and exotic woman that play the sleep dictionary and jessica alba . my friend tell me that this crappy movie be her at her most beautiful and damn be he right . she not a great actress and and doesn not quite pas for malaysian and and it pretty obvious that they use a body double for the nudity and but who care . jessica alba have that rare face and figure that more than just sexy and but also beautiful in the way that a vivaldi violin concerto or a rembrandt painting be . ( p. s. sorry to all you feminists out there who discourage objectify woman and the male gaze and etc . etc . and but i hope you can understand that i mean no disrespect . ) .
