Talk:The Ballad of Jack and Rose

The Plot
The whole plot reads like an advertisement or movie review out of a newspaper:

"Rose adores her father and is content with their simple existence. A generator is powered by wind. There is no television. Seaweed fertilizes the garden. They read. He home-schools her. They divide up the tasks. When Rose looks at Jack, her eyes glow with worship, and there is something wrong about that. When they lie side by side on the turf roof of their cottage, finding cloud patterns in the sky, they could be lovers."

"The film's best scenes involve the introduction of these three outsiders into the solitude of Jack and Rose. The sons, by different fathers, are different creatures. Rodney (Ryan McDonald) is an endomorphic sweetheart; Thaddius (Paul Dano) is a skinny pothead. "I'm studying to be a women's hairdresser," Rodney tells Rose. "I wanted to be a barber, but men don't get enough pleasure out of their hair.""

Aging ?
Day-Lewis was only 48. OK he is playing someone slightly older - but "aging" ? -- Beardo 03:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
