The hollow morality behavior in modern civilization - Porkchop
In this story, ONE NIGHT STAND, Nastassja Kinski reprises her
role, as a East-European photogenic, sophisticated female with
expensive desires or tastes, but low-profile nonetheless. On the
other hand, Wesley Snipes is brought in, to show that he's not
out of his league to hang with a certain professional social
circle, in the advertising elite of New York, and stands his
ground very well, with his own character, and upbringing, his is
able to converge to others minds at work.
Unfortunately, this picture is hollow in its message, and lost
in its purpose and lessons. The path is more important than the
destination. Ironically, the conclusions that are drawn, will
stem from the way the story unfolds, in this case, that of the
protagonist played by Robert Downey Jr, who plays a very popular
person working in the advertising industry, meeting his demise
from the terminal illness of AIDS.
As a result, perhaps the audience will be split in their
reaction, of either being horrified with the script, or perhaps
sympathetic to the plight of that hospitalized individual, or
even, vindicated in their religious beliefs and social
upbringing that judges as fundamentally flawed the frequent
(mis)behaviors that are shown in this picture.
For example, Snipes and Kinski, who are married to their own
wife and husband, actually get together, and split from their
partners and kids, as ex-marital affairs develop from the
insatisfaction in their sexual expectations. Snipes's wife buys
a video hoping to carve out a path to climaxes that are
purported in the mass media, as being in everyone's power to
attain. The fact that Downey Jr's character, on his dying bed,
admits to promiscuity in the 100's of partners, also perhaps may
serve as ammunition by some against the gay lifestyle or the
promiscuous sexual lifestyle. It is often said that mass media
vehicles condone sex to sell producA movie with unexpected twists - ether
I really enjoyed watching this movie. The title does not give it justice, this one night stand bound to happen, and consequences are more than just lust for another body...
You can detect Mike Figgis's "handwriting" in this movie: the shooting, effects, and even music are similar to ones in Leaving Las Vegas, though the plots are totally different.
Excellent cast of actors.
