The bad guy wins because of luck

May 5th, 2006

“Match Point” is a smart movie, I especially enjoyed the movie opening, a tennis ball bounced back and force, it finally touched the net and then everything stopped, then you heard the monotone voice of Chris (the bad guy) - “there are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second it can either go forward or fall back, with a little luck, it goes forward and you win, or maybe it doesn’t and you lose.”

The start of the movie scared me a bit - I almost suspected that I rented the wrong DVD - the prelude music was like 40’s or 50’s, and as soon as I saw Woody Allen’s name as the writer and director in the openning credit, I was almost determined to let Jane finish the movie alone, but I just couldn’t move my a$$ from the sofa once I started. I was hooked to development of the story, and the end of the story is a total surprise - the bad guy wins.
