I was fortunate enough to catch a pre-screening of "Match Point" a
couple of days ago, and I must say that the film blew me away. This is
a true return to brilliance for Allen, and strikingly poignant movie
regardless of if you are a fan of the director or not. While I don't
want to give much away, I must say that the key questions that the film
raises are those of love vs. lust and, perhaps more importantly, luck
vs. hard work. While the instability of the relationships in the film
leaves the former question more up in the air, the latter is perhaps
more easily debatable in the context of Rys Meyers' character. What do
you guys think? Is lust or love more realistic? And is it better to be
lucky or good?
