Gut zu Vögeln (2016)
One of the most boring movies ever.
Why has this movie been produced. Not funny, no content and most of all: unspeakable bad acting.
The whole thing looks like a provocation of the audience. Just don't watch it!!
Oliver Twist (1948)
One of the Top Ten Movies in Black and White
Having watched this great movie nearly 60 years after its creation, I am absolutely fascinated. Not so much by the art of the actors (Alec Guinness as Fagin is the outstanding exception) but by the atmosphere and perfect direction. David Lean has done much better with "Oliver Twist" than with opulent dramas of the 60s. What I missed was a more detailed description of Claypoles character and behavior. This figure plays an extremely important part in Charles Dickens masterpiece and is actually more interesting than the colorless Oliver himself. As a conclusion I can only thank the director for a great cinema evening and wonder, why these intelligent movies are a rarity today.
Thelma & Louise (1991)
Perfect Entertainment
I watched this typical American movie at least 20 times and can't stop. Lovely Geena Davis and tough Susan Sarandon gave their best performances so far (does anybody really like "Dead Man walking" or "Little Stewart 1 + 2"? Since I saw this movie for the first time, I dream of touring like these girls through the backyard of America. Perhaps without some of the crimes. It's hard to categorize this movie, as its funny but with a strong blue note and offers a lot of surprises for, even when watching it for the 5th time. So many worthwhile details and words are packed in all scenes and dialogues. Not to mention the amazing scenery with some of Americas most beautiful landscapes. I don't like the end to be honest, as it forbids a sequel. But perhaps this perfect story is not to repeat and we just watch the original again. Congratulations, Ridley Scott. More of this and more discoveries like Brad Pitt. Scott is the best director in Hollywood and I forgive him the awful "Gladiator".
Papillon (1973)
Great experience
Cried a lot. One of the few movies I can watch every day. A perfect mix of suspense, history and nice images. One of the best films ever made. Strange that I don't like both main actors but in this movie they, Hofmann and McQueen seem to be just perfect. My favourite scene is the sequence at the little island at the end of the movie, when there is only sun, waves, silence and McQueens last flight from prison. A must see for every cineast.
