#104 - Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

If you ever wondered if Elizabeth Taylor (may she rest in peace) was a truly good actress or just a pretty face, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? proves she was both. Her performance in this film is phenomenal as a woman who love/hates her husband. Without giving much away, her Oscar was well-deserved.

This film is absolutely riveting as you watch Taylor and Richard Burton (who were married in real-life) as George and Martha play these games and "terrorize" a young married couple they weave into their messed up web. The movie is just these 2 couples for 134 min. but as I said is absolutely riveting. Sometimes it gets uncomfortable, and yet you'll continue to watch. You want to find out what happens next

Young adults like me may watch this movie and totally get cold feet about ever getting married because this movie seems like it's really happening in front of you (without credits, a cast, or crew), you feel like you are watching a real-life marriage self-implode.

BTW, the secret at the end about George and Martha's son will leave you with your mouth wide open.
