The White Sheik

I think that The White Sheik was the better of the two films i saw last monday. It was a bit better flowing than Variety Lights and it was quite comical to watch Ivan talk his way out of trouble with his family concerning the absense of his wife. I thought that Wanda's desire to visit this certian location so soon in the film was a little bit mysterious; seeing that we know nothing of this secret person so far. I found that some of the close up scenes of characters faces were very well placed and helped portray character feeling. The whole field day with the White Sheik and Wanda showed the White Sheik's attitude toward his wife and his desire to manipulate the feelings of young women for his own pleasure. The end of the film i thought was kind of cheesy however it was effective in showing how each Wanda and Ivan had cheated on eachother.
