#241. Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?

"I swear, if you existed, I'd divorce you."

I thought this movie had a very unique concept. Two hours spent in the life of a dysfunctional couple, coping with their misery in company of another. Not much of a plot, but a very interesting concept indeed. Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf was incredibly exhausting with all of its mood swings and yelling and laughter. In one phrase I would say it was like "beating a dead horse".

You get tired of the same four characters' voices, as well as the constant drinking and the ice clinks in the glasses, but I guess that was the point.

My favorite character was George (played by Richard Burton) because I didn't think his acting was over dramatic like all of the others, which I liked. Though I'm guessing this melodramatic acting was probably well looked upon at the time in these old movies, I appreciated that he seemed to have the most believable persona of the four. 

And don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching this movie greatly. I just feel worn out with a slight head ache, as if I have a hangover or something after watching it. I guess that goes to show just how much this film can drag you in. My immediate rating is a 7.2.
