Customer Reviews of The Crying Game
One of the best films ever made ....
This film is one of the most original films I've seen - I've been a fan of Jordan's for some time, and this is most definitely his masterpiece. His long-standing working partnership with Stephen Rea is all explained in this film, as the result of their work is so perfect.
The story begins in Ireland, when Fergus (Rea) and his IRA colleagues kidnap Jody (Whitaker), an English soldier, demanding that an Irish comrade be released from imprisonment in Ireland or Jody will be shot. Fergus guards Jody for the majority of the time and they form an unlikely friendship. Jody asks Fergus to look up his girlfriend, Dil, in London, and is then killed.
Fergus does indeed look up Dil, and falls in love with her, only to discover why Jody had insisted that Dil wasn't Fergus' type. I won't spoil the surprise too much.
Here the IRA re-enter the story, but I won't give anyhing else away. Suffice to say that this film is one of the best and most unusual you will ever see, and it deserves five stars every time.
A deep , tender study on repressed human nature
Somewhere in Northen Ireland , a group of IRA terrorists kidnaps a british soldier . One of it's members , Fergus gets to know the hostage and starts a friendship with him . In a moment of fear and insecurity , the soldier asks from Fergus to go to England if something bad happens to him and try to find his fiance Dil and see if she's alright . Some years later Fergus arrives to England and traces Dil in the haidresser Saloon where she works .
During the first half of the movie what we watch is probably themost melancholic , beautiful romance ever to be filmed . He's trying just to protect her yet instead he falls for her and at the same time feels guilty for flirting with the soldier's wife . She's haunted by the ghosts of the past and although every word and move of hers is full of confidence , she desperately needs some love and tenderness yet she's much too proud to let it show .
Then somewhere a little after the halfway mark the film has a twist which leaves the viewer speechless . From that point and after , the movie becomes more dramatic and intense . Neil Jordan's direction has that magic something called personallity . I have never seen a scene as atmospheric and sensitive as the one where Fergus cuts Dil's hair . The key element of this film though is it's actors . Stephen Rea and Jaye Davidson give spectacular perfomances without which the film would certainlty be a lot different . Love is the thing Dil needs the most and love is what this great film is all about .
Twist and turns and more twists and turns
The movie starts with Forest Whitaker (playing an English soldier with an accent that does not suit him) gets kidnapped by the IRA. You think the movie will be about the kipnapper and him bonding. It ends earlier however and the kidnapper has to flee to England. FW has asked him to take care of his 'girlfriend' which he does. There he finds out the real secret...
It's a great movie with many great twists in the plot. It's a little slow at times but beware of all the changes in the storyline. There might be some things you did not expect...
