I watched this show on E! a couple years ago called "What Hollywood Taught Us About Sex" and Damage was mentioned, I absolutely love Jeremy Irons and couldn't believe I didn't see this movie. When I went to go rent it, it wasn't available, but I just didn't want to give up on this film. I finally found it on youtube thankfully, even though I had to watch it in parts, but it's all good. So I watched it this weekend and absolutely enjoyed Damage, the thing that makes this film great is truly the performances. Both Jeremy and Juliette are just beautiful together, another performance that deserves a notice is by Miranda Richardson, her line "I would've buried you... and I would've wept", so powerful and beautifully delivered and I'm sure so many could say this line about a person who just utterly betrayed them. This movie isn't just about sex, but human nature, it's lust, power, behavior, and cruelty, not to mention the most dangerous emotion that could possibly destroy lives... love.
Stephen Fleming is part of Parliment in England, his life is actually pretty decent, he has a loving wife, two great kids, one of them who is about to become a doctor and marry a lovely woman, Anna. Stephan and Anna meet and instantly they know they want each other, without saying a word, they start a passionate affair, filling a void in their lives they did not know they were missing. Knowing that the ultimate betrayal they have bestowed on the loves of their lives they try to break up, but are still drawn to each other leading to the ultimate karma of killing someone.
Well you'll see what I mean by that last line, the reason this movie is good is because it isn't just a sex movie, it is a drama that really works well and just brings you to tears. The interesting thing is that Stephen and Anna are horrible people, they're destroying lives, yet you can understand their passion for each other. This is a good movie, I would recommend this adult drama for the film buffs, if you need a sexy film, this is a good one. I'm glad I got the opportunity to see this film, it makes me love Jeremy Irons just a little bit more.
7/10
