I apologize for the delay in getting this post out but I saw it coming. School has started! And being at a new school, in my hometown, I feel at ease. What I'm very happy about is that if the stresses of school become overwhelming, I am glad I have Ralph to lean on. So now to the fourth post. There's only one word to describe Strange Days and that's... Well, strange.
The word to describe Fiennes in this movie is sleeze ball in a couple ways. He plays an ex cop named Lenny Nero in Los Angeles, on New Year's Eve before the new millenium in 2000. He sells a new drug which is somewhat like a small DVD that holds memories. These memories vary, either they're sexual encounters to pump up the sexual pleasure and robberies to pump the adrenaline. Fiennes plays this futuristic drug pusher and the citizens of Los Angeles are becoming addicted to this new drug. Fiennes is addicted to the drug as well, but it's his own memories of his past girlfriend, Faith (Juliette Lewis) who became an addict to the memory drug. With the help of his friend Lornette "Mace" Mason (Angela Bassett) Fiennes uncovers a mystery surrounding the drug, Faith and other corrupt people before the clock strikes midnight for the year 2000.
When I had heard about this movie, I didn't quite know what to think. I was very taken at back by the somewhat uneasy ex-cop exterior presented in the movie... Very taken at back. Where I was used to him acting as handsome, scary people I didn't expect him to be so different. Wow! Such different roles he has. Very different. What I also found interesting, is how he can hide his accent. Born in London, Fiennes has a very obvious British accent and in Strange Days he hides his accent well.
I apologize again for getting this post out pretty late. But like I said, I've been busy
No quote for this one (the movie's already overdue at the library)
See you next post
