Movies with BM/WW Couples

Just watched the movie "Secret in Their Eyes" starring Chiwetel Ejiofor & Nicole Kidman, last night.

This might be the first time I ever watched a movie where the Male & Female leads who are also each other Love Interests, never get together. Not only do they never get together, they never kiss/makeout. Only a goodbye kiss on the cheek.

What makes it worse is that Chiwetel Ejiofor & Nicole Kidman's romantic chemistry is a big part of the movie (both in the current time & in the flashbacks). It'd been fine if their romantic interests in each other had only been subtle, but it wasn't. It was a big part of the movie.

The whole thing about Nicole Kidman being engaged/married just seems like it was thrown in after the movie was shot to avoid Chiwetel & Nicole getting together onscreen. I'm especially suspicious this is the case after see that their makeout scene was cut out of the movie.

 

I've mentioned that many months back. The Secret of Their Eyes was one disappointing flick.

 

It's like many people pushing for diversity in film say, The film industry still have a long way to go. But with Mainstream Actresses like Margot Robbie, Naomi Watts, Jennifer Connelly, and a couple Films with an Interracial bm/ww coupling coming out this year (i don't know how many exactly.) It seems to be coming.

You are going to get filmmakers steering away from it like the "secret in their eyes" filmmakers here and there. But as long as it's coming like the buzz around "A United Kingdom" is that it's getting oscar buzz. If that features kissing scene(s) that could be a big jump.

I understand and have sympathy for the overall disappointment in these films and the possible socio-political factors (clears throat: Racism) that play into how scenes are edited, but we also have to allow for filmmakers to make their choices. I saw "the secrets in their eyes" and sometimes holding off on the physical expression of attraction heightens the tension (and this film being a thriller needs to maintain that). I thought these characters had made decisions in their lives to live cloistered and unrequited. It didn't bother me terribly, but I get your point.

 

What recent recent movies has Naomi Watts been in where she was involved in IR?

 

Good question. I have never seen Naomi Watts in an IR . The closest was the lesbian love scene with Laura Elena Herring in Mulholland Drive.

I saw that flick and what I'm disapointed was the child will never know the brother's birth family.

 

The movie called The Unseen had an IR relationship of sorts. The guy ended up kissing the girl in the end, but their relationship was more of a side story. Not a big focus, but she put forth strong emotions toward the male character. Female was played by Catherine Dent.

 

I remember Catherine Dent from The Shield. I had heard in a commentary on one of the disks that she came from a wealthy family in New Orleans. But lost everything during hurricane Katrina.

 

There was also a tender bedroom scene with them in bed together

 

Got to see The Unseen in the future.

 

No way that scene was shown in theatres :smt043 :smt043

 

My girlfriend at the time(now ex) told me about this movie and said it was.

 

Keira Knightley and Will Smith were spotted filming scenes for their upcoming film Collateral Beauty in New York on Friday.
And the duo braved the chilly weather as they spent their time in and out of a diner for the David Frankel-directed drama.

Can't wait to see it soon.

 

According to Wikipedia, the movie was shot back September. I couldn't find any onset photos other than a few pics of Emma Watson arriving & later leaving the set on the 1st day of shooting.


Also according this Variety article (http://variety.com/2016/film/news/europacorp-buys-domestic-rights-to-the-circle-with-tom-hanks-emma-watson-exclusive-1201701050/), EuropaCorp picked up the U.S. distribution for the movie. So unless EuropaCorp partners with 1 of the major U.S. studios this is looking like it'll be an indie release. Even if they did partner with 1 of the major U.S. studios, it'll probably only be a smaller major release.

 

I'm all for it.
