Today, for this month's edition of Mock Squid Soup, all society members are invited to post three hints about their film choice for the month. All are welcome to guess, of course. My three clues:
1. This film is one of a very popular series. The original book series essentially saved the print media industry. No, I'm not exaggerating.
2. It is the first film in the series to address the pain of romantic love. Not mere jealousy. Pain.
3. One of the actors in the film passed away early this year. Universally revered as a supremely talented actor, he had impressive stage credentials in addition to his varied screen roles. In this movie, in particular, I was struck by how beautifully he moves.
Any guesses? Society reviews will be posted next Friday, August 12th. See you then. Meanwhile, please visit my fellow cinephiles today:
Harry Potter! This is my guess
ReplyDeleteWell, yes. The first clue was a bit of a gift. I was hoping folks might take a chance and guess which one.
DeleteI'm with Birgit on this one. This has to be Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteSee above.
Delete...and the Goblet of Fire?
ReplyDelete("Turn to page 394!" RIP Alan Rickman)
Hooray! Someone took a chance. I knew I could count on you, Cyg.
DeleteBut alas, that's not the one. The quote's a good one. I really did check. Tip of the iceberg compared to what comes later, though.
The Half-blood Prince? That's the name of of the 6th one, right? If I'm taking your reference to pain correctly, that is.
ReplyDeleteMr. Leon is our winner!
DeleteWooHoo!
DeleteWell done, sir.
DeleteI had no idea, but I see Andrew Leon is on the money!!
ReplyDeleteHe's a clever guy.
