Alfie

Saw this one with Jamin, Emily Gilbert and Danielle something. I wasn't quite sure if I really liked it or not. Alfie is basicly a man-slut and the first half of this movie is glamorizing his lifestyle. It shows how cool, suave and sophisticated he is. It shows how he plays different women and just never quite has to grow up. That'd be great, right? Then the second half of the movie shows how it really is. Alfie is never very happy. He's always lonely. While Alfie is always having fun and nobody gets hurt, in reality everybody is getting hurt...even Alfie. Jamin said this reminded him of Boogie Nights in that sense and I'd have to agree. Even while I think this movie has a great moral at the end I felt a little uncomfortable with all the 'gettin-it-on' scenes. Maybe it was because of who I was watching it with. I don't know. It just seemed like the same message could have gotten across with a little less skin. I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on this, as always, if you've seen it too.
