Bel Ami (2012) - BAD MOVIE
Based on the novel by Guy de Maupassant, this film documents the rise
(and set backs) of George Duroy, a slimy ex-army officer as he sleeps
his way through every worthwhile woman in Paris. Starting as a
penniless and lonely man, he rapidly carves a path through the upper
levels of Parisian society, acquiring a lot of wealth and standing on
the way.
There
were several times during the movie where I was like "huh? what just
happened??" and had to back up the movie and watch a part over again.
Maybe the book was better written, I don't know, I didn't read it. But
with these kinds of adaptations, you shouldn't have to read the book in
order to know what just happened in the movie. I'll end this here,
since I really don't want to give any more minutes of my life to this
movie. And neither should you.
