Better acted, sad ending
17 March 2004
Warning: Spoilers
**Spoilers** I haven't seen this movie in 15 years, and I remember it meaning so much to me, as I was around that age. My head was stuck firmly in the clouds, and I hoped I would find a boy like Paul, just to take me away from my life (well, he seemed quite the nice chap, no?) In any case, saw "Friends" and "Paul et Michelle" once again today (3/17/2004) back to back. I must say, the acting improved (well, at least for Anicee Alvina...Sean Bury was fairly decent in the first movie). Some of the scenes in both movies gave me quite a chuckle...they seemed so forced! But I suppose it is pretty hard to act that depth of emotion when you hardly know one another and having to take your clothes off. Overall, I marvelled at the subject matter...that *puppy love* would be seen as commonplace now.

The saddest part of both films is the end, of course, especially in the second one. *SPOILER* You know they will never see each other again. *sigh*

I wonder what ever happened to Sean Bury....? Looked all over the net, and came up with nothing.

All in all, watching these films was nicely escapist...
