Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

This movie has given me a whole new perspective on Elizabeth Taylor, where she's much more than a man-killer with more husbands than days in a week or a fat obnoxious aging starlet. Here was a woman who could really act! No wonder they gave her the Oscars for this one.Richard Burton, her one time real life husband plays her husband in this film, he has given a commendable performance as well.

The story of the movie is rather heavy, full of metaphors and deep pointy suggestions at what life really is. Though I wonder how much of this'd really happen in a similar real life incident. The story encompasses a single night where a middle aged couple(Taylor and Burton) play hosts to a newly married couple. The men are both professors, one who has spent almost his entire life teaching on the campus and one just starting out. It is an interesting film, maybe one of the films that defined the thinking man's Hollywood movie, a bit to heavy for me, worth a watch anyway.
