Suiting up to blow your brains out

Rob Reiner's 'A Few Good Men' is one of those films I've seen probably over thirty times. Not because it's a personal favorite. But because it seems to always be playing on TV. That's not such a bad thing. It's a good film with some intense court room scenes. It's also got Tom in full "Cruise Control". (you'll hear more about this in future reviews). But, lo and behold, it also has a suit-up scene.

It takes more than painful shoes to be a heroine

*Spoiler Warning* Memoirs of a Geisha is a chick flick. *Spoiler Over*

There, now we know the plot, and we can get over our machismo long enough to analyze this very beautiful movie and in particular this very artful suit-up scene.

Suiting up for the organezized 187, courtesy existential crisis, OR: how's life in the pimp business? Suck on this!

Soren Kierkegaard had a theory about the angst-rich idea of identity, the malcontent and drudgery that made T. Yorke want to explode. "Ceasar or nothing!" yells his metaphorical man, a man who so desparately wants to be not-himself that the mere existence he lives as himself screws grief to the seat of his drawers. He longs for this most lofty of titles as his most swayed opposite, the most extreme version of his would-be self (all the better for the histrionics, my dear); his lack breeds a despair that creates a "disrelationship" between the self and the concept of self.
