noclobber Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I saw the movie Bedazzled yesterday night.. It's an old movie starring Brendon Frazier and Liz Hurley.. I found one scene to be very interesting. Brendon, in an attempt to woo his woman, Frances O'Connor, transforms into a sensitive man. In the beach scene he shows her how much he loves and adores her. But he goes over-board and Frances gets really frustrated. Right then couple of bad guys walk over, kick mud on Brendon's face, and ask Frances for a beer.. and she immediately joins them, much to the surprise of Brendon!! I think this is a perfect example of "Nice guys finish last" syndrome. While i do understand this I was kinda surprised when Frances says to Brendon "I just want a man that will pretend to be interested in me and my mind but really wants to get into my pants" and then goes away with the bad guys.. That particular sentence threw me off balance. Any thoughts on this?

d'Arthez Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I have absolutely no clue about the movie, so I can only make a general comment. That Frances is interested in short term intimacy, and not so much of the relationship thingy, where other considerations do play a part. She felt as if he was pretending (rightfully or wrongfully) that he was interested in her, and that the sex was just a part of that and a non-essential one in the pretend-play. She just does not want to be involved in a fake-thing where everything is about the sex anyway. If Brendon was interested in the relationship, he should forget about her. If he was interested in the sex, he could have been upfront.

alphamale Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I saw the movie Bedazzled yesterday night.. That is nice NOCLOBBER...but dont' get your ideas about men and women from TV or the movies. They are fantasy and idealistic and generally geared towards getting women to plunk down $12 for a ticket. They have nothing to do with reality...
Neptune Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 All too often I have been surprised (and disappointed) to find that movies do in fact have a lot to do with reality. Noclobber three cheers to you for noticing that. I guarantee you there is a lot of truth to that scene you mentioned. Movies are fictional representations of reality..... all too often:mad:
Outcast Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 It's an old myth perpetuated by old fools that women don't want nice guys. Stupid, young, immature girls maybe want 'bad boys'. If you like hanging around with stupid, young, immature girls then pretend to be bad but don't expect a satisfying relationship.
alphamale Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 If you like hanging around with stupid, young, immature girls then pretend to be bad but don't expect a satisfying relationship. Could we at least expect satisfying sex from them?
