Tristan Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Ooooh, Sarrasine sounds very much up my alley (I do enjoy a bit of tragic love!), thank you Tristan . That makes two of us then. Sappy, happy-ending love stories are so tedious. You're welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookJumper Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Don't get me wrong, I do like a bit of sap also (provided it's exceptionally well-written sap) as I'm a big pile of mush really ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that I hate it but - and I'm talking about film, as I don't have much experience READING "sap". - I don't have much affinity for the modern sappy/love stories. I just don't believe in them. Now, in the old days, that was good sap. The musicals of the '40s and the '50s, those are more up my alley. 'Meet me in St. Louis' for example is,to me, the best in its kind. That film is simply magical, and what cinema should be all about: pure, heart-wrenching, unrestrained emotion. I will always have a soft spot for that era, as it's something we will never, ever, get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
