One of the reasons why I like silent movies
is that you really need to participate in the watching, otherwise you can miss
something really quickly. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened to me
during Michael. It is a story between older painter and his young model, which
falls for some young countess. During this, there’s another subplot involving
Lucy (is she a daughter of that art dealer?) and one duel that I didn’t get at
all.
But anyway, it’s a cool movie. I was a bit
disappointed with an ending because I thought (was hoping) that the old guy
would kick Michael’s ass sometime, but then he just died. Also couldn’t
register those homosexual hints and innuendos between the two (for which this
movie is known apparently). I just thought he was his adopted son and that’s
it.
