	The Crying Game (1992) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		"The Crying Game" offers the usual flavor of Jordan, but also incorporates unexpected, ninety degree twists that change the pace of his story altogether.
		"The Crying Game" is not for everyone-it's a hard, perverse movie with enough content to warrant several R ratings.
		"The Crying Game" was certainly one of the most original movies to hit theaters in 1992, and deserved many of its award nominations and wins.

		"The Crying Game" needs to be seen with as close to an open mind as possible, and anyone who tells you too much about the film is not doing you a favor.
		The peculiar thing about "The Crying Game" is that this story outline, while true, hardly suggests the actual content of this film.
		Now comes "The Crying Game," one of a very few films that wants to do something unexpected and challenging, and succeeds even beyond its ambitions.

	The crying game. By Dahlia Lithwick
		Two days into the penalty phase of the Scott Peterson trial, it's clear that Kleenex must be flying off the Safeway shelves in Redwood City, Calif. Jurors sobbed openly as Laci Peterson's mother testified on the first day of the guilt phase.
		Peterson himself cried when his dad testified yesterday.
		And jurors who made it through hours of the gruesome testimony offered at the guilt phase have morphed into puddles when faced with photos of the dead victim and emotional narratives about what a great mother she would have been.

		He asked 535 gamers to describe how deeply their favorite games trigger various emotions, on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the most intense).
		Bowen found that role-playing games were the most emotionally potent genre, with 78 percent of gamers singling it out.
		Aerith's death in Final Fantasy VII was "a sort of watershed moment for the gaming industry," Bowen argues, because in their written notes on the surveys, many gamers singled it out as the first time a game caused them genuine heartache.

	Amazon.com: The Crying Game: Video: Forest Whitaker,Miranda Richardson,Stephen Rea,Adrian Dunbar,Breffni McKenna,Joe ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Like Spielberg's E.T. The Crying Game was supposed to be director Neil Jordan's "little, personal movie," the one he just had to make, even though no studio was willing to give him money because the story was so unusual.
		The performances (including Miranda Richardson as one of Fergus's IRA colleagues) are subtly shaded, and the writing and direction are tantalizingly rich and suggestive; you're always trying to figure out the characters' true motives and feelings--even when they themselves are fully aware of their own motives and feelings.
		Neil Jordan's "The Crying Game" was the talk of the town when it opened in 1992, largely due to its surprise ending, of course.

	Crying Game, The (1992): Reviews
		By the time The Crying Game is over, you'll never look at beauty in quite the same way.
		In a style of agitated naturalism, Jordan examines poignant matters of life and death, sex and friendship, duty and loyalty, freedom and bondage, manhood and womanhood and all the ambiguous areas in between.
		Thematic issues aside, The Crying Game pulls off a tremendously difficult technical feat; its screenplay contains not one, but two, wrenching twists, each of which could easily derail the narrative in the hands of a lesser storyteller.

	DVD Review - The Crying Game (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		While I would not consider those artifacts intolerable, especially since since most of the problematic areas are usually dark parts of the image that start to lose detail, it might indeed be distracting to some viewers.
		I find it worth mentioning that Live Entertainment put both the widescreen and the pan&scan versions of the movie on the same side of the DVD disc using a dual-layer disc.
		In all, this DVD demonstrates why "The Crying Game" received such critical acclaim at the time of its release and still ranks as Jordan’s best and most ambitious work to date.

		If anyone hasn't seen the movie "The Crying Game" or had the surprise in the middle of the film spoiled by a friend, don't worry.
		"The Crying Game" also features a memorable musical score that reflects both, the typical English working class mentality and the desperate love theme that carries the movie.
		Unfortunately "The Crying Game" does not have any language tracks other than English and also contains no foreign subtitles, which I would consider basic for all DVD releases.

		Thirdly, The Crying Game does not preach the glory of homosexuality, touting it as the lifestyle.
		If it were not for the social climate today, The Crying Game would never have been nominated for the Oscar for best picture, but it is, nevertheless, a well acted, superbly produced movie.
		It is possible that someday The Crying Game could well be seen as something of a watershed in American social consciousness.

		From the opening notes of Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman," Neil Jordan's "The Crying Game" ventures into such exquisitely unique territory that you feel giddy from the pleasure of being allowed to travel along.
		Immediately, the prisoner strikes up a desperate relationship with his primary guard, Fergus (Stephen Rea), a dedicated but rather softhearted Irish rebel who can't help but respond emotionally to his flirtatious enemy, who at best guess has about 24 hours to live.
		And "The Crying Game" is his boldest, richest work yet.

		Likewise, I perceive big, strong capable men to be in control of their emotions, to first jump off a cliff than show their feelings, indeed this is what I would term a ‘real man'.
		Indeed, it is just a reminder, if we need it, that these men put everything into their quest for glory, their heart and soul into pushing themselves into a better life.

		Stephen Rea is the IRA volunteer who befriends a kidnapped British soldier (the gauche but likeable Forest Whitaker), then takes the questions of loyalty and instinct (the "frog and scorpion" fable) with him to London, where he falls for the dead man's girlfriend (the appealing Jaye Davidson).
		I feel a smidgen of guilt for awarding THE CRYING GAME four stars instead of five since the clever screenplay unfolds as a series of unexpected events.
		If one believes that life is a comedy, then THE CRYING GAME is surely dark humor, though I suspect the film's makers didn't intend it to be.
