The screenplay is great, the acting is superb.<br />I totally agree with you on Ruffalo's character's treatment. I believe this is the only down part of the film. <br /><br />SPOILER<br />He deserved a better ending in a screenplay that presents human conflicts and praises talking and understanding.<br />That does not mean that he had to be fully accepted after what happened between him and Julianne Moore's character. However, Annette Bening's character telling him that they had a family and if he wanted one he should build his own was really harsh. Also, he was made a fool of himself by insisting on his relationship with Moore's character.<br /><br />END OF SPOILER<br /><br />Overall, it is an excellent screenplay, I hope the film, the screenplay and the acting (including Moore) receive some award recognition.<br /><br />Ah, I watched it because you liked it very much. Thank you.<br /><br />Marcelo - Brazil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-87493383585266402592010-11-16T15:03:26.388-05:002010-11-16T15:03:26.388-05:00I'd seen The Extra Man when it was in theaters...I'd seen <i>The Extra Man</i> when it was in theaters, and I thought it was good. Dano has an amazing scene towards the climax of the film.<br /><br />As for <i>The Kids Are All Right</i>, I look forward to seeing it again, and sharing it with people who didn't get to see it in theaters (like my parents).George P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-63391948265387398722010-11-16T12:49:13.900-05:002010-11-16T12:49:13.900-05:00I didn't think Ruffalo's character was tre...I didn't think Ruffalo's character was treated harshly. In fact, the last moment Cholodenko gives him (throwing his helmet down in pain) was a little much. I'd have preferred my last image of him to be of him staring at the door. We get that he's pretty lost and feels remorse; no need to hammer it in.Silenciohttp://prettydeadhair.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-72160563047903032622010-11-16T12:37:41.928-05:002010-11-16T12:37:41.928-05:00I also thought 'The Kids are All Right' wa...I also thought 'The Kids are All Right' was a little harsh on Ruffalo's character, but if we're all thinking that, maybe it's the point. Maybe we're actually just supposed to think that Jules and Nic and family end up being too harsh on him b/c he disrupts their family dynamic, so they have to demonize him in order to get back to normal and have something outside of themselves to blame.<br /><br />I can't wait to see it again.Rebeccahttp://fffblog.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-88588648581592658852010-11-16T12:18:02.484-05:002010-11-16T12:18:02.484-05:00Bow Wow actually can act pretty well.
