A big budget wasted

"The Knot" is an utterly failed attempt at an epic melodrama. Although the film looks great, I found it to be virtually unwatchable. Why? The script is a disaster. There is no subtlety, no wit, and no depth to the writing. Consequently, the characters are cardboard cutouts about which the viewer is unable to care. This problem is compounded by the script's misbegotten technique of shifting back and forth between past and present. At least the characters set in the past have a melodramatic story to play; the characters in the present have nothing to play. Every time the movie shifts to the present, the story comes to a screeching halt. One final cavil: While Vivian Hsu may be just about the youngest-looking 32-year old woman on the planet, it is a bit of a stretch to ask her to play a high school girl, as she does in the first 45 minutes or so of this turgid mess. The actors never had a chance with such a terrible script, so it wouldn't be fair to critique their performances. I'll give "The Knot" a few points for its lavish set decoration, beautiful costuming, and lush cinematography. But I certainly cannot recommend this movie to anyone. |
