Prisoners (2013)
Plain bad, don't waste your time!
The plot is so unrealistic and badly written, I really regret my time. My advice is not to waste your time watching this movie. I'm surprised to see it in the top250.
There are so many questions that arise when watching it, it is even not funny.
The worst movie I've seen since quite long time.
First plan roles are plaid stupid, they act illogically. Second plan roles are very bleak. I hope even the youngest public is able to see that.
Once more, I'm surprised to see such a high rating for this. It is absolutely not worth even 1 point.
Après la vie (2002)
Nice trilogy
I just saw all three movies and have to say that I liked them all. They are good each in its own way. Repeating scenes - every time from a different point of view, the same actors and heroes but different aspects. It is not one story told several times. It is more of several stories (or several lives?) entangled and inseparable from each other.
The only negative thing is that the movies are long. So long that I won't buy them on DVD when they will be available (or will I?)
But one thing is sure: I'll go watch the next movie made by Belvaux, whatever it might be. This guy will show me something interesting.
Enemy at the Gates (2001)
I loved it
What I liked the most is that this movie depicts the Russians, their situation, and mood very authentically. Desperate, without any choice, they had to withstand the enemy and survive.
The main actors sometimes look too clean compared to the ugly/dirty surroundings (I'd suspect they'd look like others), but this can be forgiven. The second plan actors performed brilliantly, I especially liked the the first appearance of Krushchev and last appearances Mrs. Filipova.
My score: 10/10
Pi (1998)
It could be better...
It is too shallow. As much as it spoils everything. The subject is wonderful, rich, with enormous possibilities and amazing consequences, but the producer decided to make it easy.
The movie doesn't reveal something new, doesn't try to answer questions, it even doesn't pose new questions - it just repeats the old (yet unsolved) problems, literally, reiterating. If you are not familiar with number madness, the golden section, etc, but would like to know - you might like it. For me it was just a waste of time.
I liked the operator's work, though. And being B&W was good too.
