MCT:November 12, 2008"tempting , isn't it?"
lust , caution!
Lust . One of man's biggest sin , stay aware of it .
This movie took 'lust' as their theme . Deceptive and full-of-literature words .
Original sin potrays classic story of a wicked woman and an innocent rich man , being seduced and getting revenge . Original scene has great exciting unpredictable story of lust , love , tricks and seductions , which is exciting until the end of the movie , even some ideas were so ABSURD and unbelievable .
With telenovela setting , still serving a exciting plot and beautiful scenery , especially the ending .
Well , I WATCHED THE FULL-OF-CENSORED EDITION . I don't even know that the explicit sex scenes even exist , all i know that is the you-can-see in Sex & the city tv series's type make-love and make-out scenes , and i think Original Sin is still beautiful and mesmerizing , just like how Malena impressed me .
Antonio Banderas did his role flawlessly , he did the toughest part of changing behavior of the character flawlessly .
Angelina Jolie did a wierd performance here , well , a not so familiar role, Bonny Castle/Julia Russel one of the best femme fatale i've ever seen in movie-world . But , the truth that she was nominated in Razzie award , i see no really bad performance here , maybe too much focus on her role or even too much (i don't see) sex scenes or whatever .
At the end,Original sin is a wicked movie of a seductress and seduction by a woman , and how lust can play you until you suffer a lot . Too much focus on Jolie and the 'hot' scenes . But , still okay .
"This is not a love story, but it is a story about love"
-Julia Russel/Bonny Castle-
performed by Angelina Jolie
NOTE : Well , i believe there's lots of people think that this movie sucks and only sells sex , etc . I watched the full-of-censored edition . But , i can enjoy it , indeed . By all means , i rate this movie by 'how much i like it' . -

When I finally saw this one I got a bit dissapointed. With Jolie and Banderas together I expected a much better film. Jolie is very good but Banderas could have done much better. He used to be so brilliant in Almodovars films but since he moved to Hollywood he just don't seem to be able to do any deep or trustful performances.
I love the cinematography though and after have been to Cuba myself, I love the surrondings where it's being filmed also. It's an OK film but nothing more. -

Alfred Hitchcock would have loved to have made Original Sin, though I'm sure it would have come out a completely different movie. One innocent man, wealthy, alone but not lonely, is drawn into layer upon layer of deceit involving a woman he learns to trust but doesn't truly know. As it is, sans Hitchcock, Michæl Cristofer's "Original Sin" is still a masterpiece. Adapted from a novel by Cornell Woolrich, Original Sin stays true to its roots, relying on strong writing and dialogue to move both plot and character forward. Set in turn of the century Cuba, the sets and costuming both believably depict the island's culture and add to an already thick layer of atmosphere. The visuals are unique and familiar, shuffling back and forth between the extravagant and the intimate. While often abruptly transitioned and sometimes too indulgent to Cristofer's style, the imagery works better this way than if it had been restrained in any manner. The mood and tone are consistently good, and this can mainly be attributed to an apparent and therefore invisible lack of self-consciousness in Cristofer's visuals and in the performances of Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie.
Banderas delivers a solid and flawless performance of a type of character audiences so rarely get to see, a man who is ordinary and comes with the associated flaws of being so. Jolie plays perhaps her best and most dynamic role yet, one eminently more deserving of an Oscar than her turn in Girl, Interrupted, though if the film doesn't draw enough money it will in all likelihood be shunned by the Academy. The supporting roles are also very solid, the most notable being the excellent Jack Thompson's double-sided private eye.
The biggest complaint one might have outside of preference in style is on the film's focus on sex and the balance of implicit versus explicit imagery. Only once, however, does the film truly overindulge on the actors' bodies. The scene is a necessary and very well filmed one and as a love scene written a certain way is sometimes vital to a great piece of literature, this scene filmed in the way it is is vital to the film as a whole and, much more importantly, is absolutely crucial to the believability and sensibility of the two main characters' emotional developments later on. In addition, it should be noted that outside the two or three scenes in which Jolie is necessarily naked, usually with Banderas being so as well, most of Jolie's costuming throughout the film makes less of her body, rather than constantly showing it off.
What Original Sin does best is to mix its strong aspects together very fluently. The excellent writing, the strong performances, and the unique visual tone all come together to create something altogether very different from just about anything else. Although the film does contain its share of flaws in jumpy pacing and attempts to be a little too arty here and there, it's one of those few smart suspense films that actually manages to maintain its characters. As a philosophical character piece this film excels, but as a suspense piece Original Sin is one of the most deeply woven, well done thrillers of the past several years. -
