i loved the interpreter (movie),
and i loved the interpreter (character).
the culture and premise and characters and plot were cool.
and of course the setting was the coolest in the world ;)
i didnt feel the connection i mentioned in the first group of movies on this blog, but i havent for a while, so perhaps it was only because i hadntve been watching movies for a while, but now im used to them again.

4 1/2 stars -- wouldve been 5 if only nicole kidman hadntve said that horrible line at the end "but there are the places i remember them"
b/c within the thematic premise of the movie itself, that suggests mourning for the rest of her life in abandoned places with only her memories.

a ending that wouldve 5 stared it for me would be something like "it's still my home, and i finished what i came here to do."

[edit]
My Beautiful Laundrette
was basically the directorial opposite of the interpreter
(very uncrisp conflict)
but good anyway, and the ending was appropriate in my opinion,
plus [Daniel Michael Blake Day-]Lewis, :)
though i appreciate Warneck too.
the characterization was confusing (ie, who was dominant?)
