49 Up (2005)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 6/14

6/14: Once again, there's nothing new to learn in 49 Up.

Everybody is going through the motions and remains guarded as usual, having become full-fledged stiffs. The interview with Jackie, a name I hadn't cared to learn until now, is awkward to listen to. John comes back for this one and is still the same seven-year-old twit.

Suzy is one of the few whom I haven't commented in my past reviews because she always reveals nothing; in fact, her interviews should be limited to thirty seconds for each installment since what's there to talk about? She's monotonously the same every single time.

Then, the strangest thing happened. Suzy got animated about how she was hurt by the feelings that were stirred up in regard to her past. Well, all I can think of is: "What the fuck is she talking about?" In other words, I don't know anything about her except she was born into money, is married to Rupert, and has three children.

All in all, 49 Up has left me bored to tears.
