I don't like Games
3.5/4 stars
To see "The crying game" is a great experience. Because you discovers secrets that we should remain silent. As well as Roger Ebert said about this title: "See this film. Then shut up about it" . Of that it is "The Crying Game", a history on the human nature.
If we keep in mind the above-mentioned, then it would be breaking a "rule", because he/she should not talk about it. "The Crying Game" talks about a man that belongs to the IRA group and he kidnaps a British soldier. Next to other partners they contain it. Fergus, the man of which speak, creates a friendly relationship with the one kidnapped. Beginning a "game" at the same time in which will be discovered secrets, deaths will be given this way and of course, there will be tears. The movie, approaching topics like the terrorism until the acceptance. Is more than all that Fergus lives, as it plays that game that the life imposed him. Because after all, that it is the game of the life. In the case of Fergus, a merciless game of blood and tears, and this way to discover his nature, and to discover the nature of the others.
There is another point that to touch and it is that of the appearance of the characters, being more specific, in a character. Jude is that type of Femme Fatale "friend" of Fergus. Then me chord of "Pulp Fiction" of Quentin Tarantino, and sight in my mind to Uma Thurman smoking a cigarette in their mat with a gun and some comics. Making a parallel one with the two characters, the identity of Jude is discovered as the catching woman that Neil Jordan creates and then Quentin Tarantino adapts. And we see how the beautiful Miranda Richardson represents that character.
