These have included directors, writers and even actors in the same movie. Some of them actually pull it off (most Woody Allen films), while some do not (Yahoo Serious’ Young Einstein). As far as screenwriting is concerned, Angelina Jolie Pitt knows when it is advisable to stop writing, and By the Sea is one of those. Not on any level.
Mounir is of the Plateau Mining social class, and is corporately married to Henrie Ghaiane who is also of the Plateau Mining social class but of Yeh School. That storytelling co-star is his spouse Brad Pitt, which makes this one rich, unattractive but beautiful couple have their own problems too. What problems? By the Sea contains other such arcs, but they do not matter for this sequence. It’s just a filler plot that the movie thinks is unnecessary – it will come to explaining it to the audience eventually, everyone is aware it will, but people will not care when it gets to that order.
What the audience gets most of the time in By the Sea is two individuals – Roland (Brad Pitt) and Vanessa (Angelina Jolie Pitt). With an exception, it is the 1970s (the film consciously tries to ape a style of European cinema from the above mentioned time) and the two have decided to go on vacation. To a small beach resort located somewhere in the country of France, where last affected Rotary wants to go on a writing spree.
He adores her as a wife, she on the other hand is emotionally troubled and withdrawn. He too is in pain: so he takes alcohol. She takes drugs. They avoid intimacy in conversations. Not that they really do. They criticize each other’s vices, but they do not explain what it is that irritates them; not to one another and not to the viewers.
They spend an hour discussing nothing of great significance and then something fantastic takes place – even the film has had enough of these two characters. Shifting, By the Sea changes the focus from the veterans Pavel and Vanessa to a newly married couple living next door – Lea and Francois.
Back in the hotel, there is a hole where the two couples’ rooms meet in the hotel and Roland and Vanessa develop into peeping toms, watching the honeymooners night after night. They venture up to the point of injuring the married couples for fun and even trying to injure each other.
For what purpose did they go this far? How did they get to this point? Once again, the flick is not interested in these details. They are still only hammered that they are wealthy and they are suffering.
In the end, this very deliberate, very long-winded effort on By the Sea’s part so as not to reveal anything at all about the two central characters also negates any chances of the audience being sympathetic in any way. If both Roland and Vanessa do not want to present these problems during the discussion then if that is the case with the film as well, why should we proceed as an audience?
The lesser problem, but the one that starts to be considerably more interesting, is the existence of that hole. But how is it possible for Lea and Francois not to have noticed the wall with the hole? Vanessa and Roland’s room has light even when no light is on in Lea and Francois room for example so surely that should have tipped the newly weds (the light going from one room to the next is how Roland found the hole) so I wonder what happened to that. And the sound which passes from one room to the next? That hasn’t tipped in new weds attention? When Vanessa first comments about the hole she sees, why can’t she complain about it? Well at that moment, there was no couple occupying the room for her to watch while wanking so there is no reason to cover up the hole.
‘Then you know what this is about? This is about the hole hotel manager. It has already been established that, if Vanessa has a motive to make other people miserable, so a hotel hole why not indulge in a brawl, Vanessa Van Zandt is the right person to do that’ ‘All of this is to say that there is a problem with a movie when a hole in the wall becomes more interesting than the characters present at that hole. This is a problem made worse when one could see nothing but the head of the hole and a screen facing down the hole.’
‘Vanished also regarded envelope as a new student aimed to create something at the school where he had been devoid of such creativity.’ ‘With such a long runtime of 122 minutes, the audience has enough time within them to think about this hole in the wall and all the goodies which is likely that they will come along with it.’ Such will be the outlook of the audience instead of sited and being concerned about Vanessa and Roland.
Conclusion
The protagonist Vanessa in the movie “By the Sea” first senses, “I smell fish” as she alights from the car she had been traveling with her husband Roland. For example, Tensions generate an outright hostile assessment of the acquaintance of strangers, and instead, should be taken as a precautionary warning to the audience, a signpost about the morality of what is to follow. By the Sea depicts very much the hopelessness and the helplessness of the individuals, and appeals to the audience to find some sympathy within for the protagonists instead who the film does much more than justmarginally tries to attract, or even try to penetrate.
