I find this movie a 10/10
This is my most watched suspense, crime drama, thriller. Watched it again last night and I am still finding out new shit.
Movie was famous for its sexual content, which included a quick beaver shot. It covered casual sex, lesbian sex, casual drug use, and did I mention this is a crime drama?
Synopsis, if those haven't watched this, is a cop is investigating a murder while scrupulously questioning and eventually, falling for the murdered's girlfriend. She happens to be a murder novelist, brilliant, and hot as fuck. The story unfolds and as it does, its questionable on who is doing the murders.
This is when Sharon Stone was hot as all hell. I saw this when I was maybe 14 and though I knew she was hot, I didn't get all the fuss. Now, I do, cuz God damn would i like a "fuck of the century." She has small tits and no ass, but her beauty and demeanor scratch me right where I itch. Apparently, i wasn't alone. Stone became the go to actress for sexy roles. She continued doing best sex scenes you can safely do for general audiences, but none were better than in Basic Instinct. This was before all this inferior female shit was being falsely announced, as women had been dominating the silver screen for quite some time. They, just like anyone else, just need powerful actresses to fill the phenomenal roles. Sharon did it and though Michael Douglas is the hero in this and in his hey day, make no mistake, Sharon is the star.
As hot as the one infamous sex scene is, I always preferred the club scene to it. I have had that slow touch, the subtle tease, and fuck shit, do I miss it.
Spoilers below
The sex shit is what the movie is known for but its second to me to the crime. Every time I watch it, I still think, maybe she didn't do it! Mind you, I am not thinking of the sequel at all, nor the very end shot. They do such a meticulous job on implicating Beth in this that I've started to question that she was at least in on it. It's just too much of a tightly wrapped package at the end.
However, what always bothered me was how (gonna use character names here) nick knew gus was in danger. Each time I've watched his realization, the camera is focusing on the building with the windows. The next shot is nick screaming gus's name and racing to the building. I kept thinking he saw something in the windows that I repeatedly miss. But...this time I watched and the last, I remembered, nick had just gotten dumped, and before he did, he read her book being printed. The lines he reads details what is about to happen to gus. Ok, that was always obvious. But then after he takes gus's gun, he suspects beth, shoots her, and gets bombarded by all the perfect placement evidence. Now wait a fucking second, did he race into the building because of what he read? If so, Kathryn is your killer. Or is the implication that beth, read her just printed book, and decided to copy her (again).
Gus's death is damn realistic and it sounds like hes trying to make a K sound for "Kathryn," but he was gurgling mad. This actor was great. His dialogue with nick when he finds out they're fucking is fantastic.
Beth was the oddest one. From the "I still miss you, nick" to the last "I love you," shes sorta believable, but there are deliberate shots of her face for implications. How about when nick thanks her for her input in Nick's hearing. She smiles, then wipes the smile away. It was an act. She was either pissed she had to bat for him, pissed about what he had said to her the night before, or pissed hes fucking Kathryn. Does that make her a killer?
Ya see? It's a nice mind fuck of a movie. Could you believe the guy that directed Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers did this?!
It's such a fun movie and is in my circulation more than the director's other flicks.
