Pacific Rim (2013)
This movie is much more intelligent than most users and critics :-)
This movie is much more intelligent than most users and critics. The movie is much more intelligent than most users and critics. This film is much more intelligent than most users and critics. The screenplay is fantastic in nature, but nevertheless as scientifically accurate as the pioneers of futurology, of artificial living and thinking organisms, of neurosocial informatics, of rapid learning epigenetics could have imagined it. And del Toro demonstrates that he's a genius, one of the three most creative cineasts in Hollywood's history. This movie is much more intelligent than most users and critics :-) Really, really, really: This movie is much more intelligent than most users and critics :-)
Die verlorene Zeit (2011)
Melodramatism often lacking authenticity
Average artistic, directing and storytelling, not bad, but certainly also not good, given the Auswitz and the Holocaust context. The basic story had all ingredients for a very good resulting plot and accurate artistic translation.
Unfortunately is the director's approach filled with post-Shoa clichés that gives induce artificial, quality diminishing elements into the dramaturgy and authenticity of the resulting work.
Can be recommended to high school students from families that experienced the Holocaust and like to talk about. For those attracted by real historic accounts, be they even sentimental, it won't rise up to expectations. For all others: read better a good book
Jaffa, the Orange's Clockwork (2009)
Meilenstein für den Israelischen Geschichtsdokumentationsfilm
Ohne Zweifel ist "Orange's Clockwork" ein Meilenstein des historischen Dokumentarfilms in Israel und Palästina. Exzellent recherchiert beleuchtet der Film bisher von beiden politischen Seiten bewusst ausgeblendete Fakten und Geschehnisse. Sowohl Israel als auch Palästina haben sich ihre eigene Geschichte zusammengeflickt, jeweils ein Patchwork aus Propaganda, Nationalismus und ausgesuchten Resten der vergangenen Wirklichkeit.Damit räumt der Film sehr überzeugend, da sehr fundiert, auf. Eigentlich stürzt der Film einige fundamentale Legenden der zionistischen Bewegung, Ideologie und Propaganda um. Etwas, was am überzeugendsten von Israelis gemacht werden kann.
The Banger Sisters (2002)
A hidden gem? No, a gem on best display
The movie was an enormous surprise. I expected s0me 90 minutes of thin fun, and I got to see one of the best, simple small movies about the life we most often let pass by and let it to very few we usually consider half wrecks to live it, not understanding what we've done with what was given to us and we did refuse. I don't expect this review to help you, but it helps me to see it clearer. Most reviewers did understand nothing, and demonstrated so that people feel better when aging as working, seeing, loving, behaving as zombies, in other words like 90% of those who drove us crazy when we were 16 or 22. Thank you all very much for reading this! Besides Goldie Hawn who shines like a handful of diamonds the director succeeded to put together an excellent team of first class actors, they all together give you so many hands full with diamonds that you look like Shiva, the multi-armed Hindu God :-) Mihai-Robert Soran-Schwartz
Niki Ardelean, colonel în rezerva (2003)
A hidden gem
I wasn't prepared to see this movie, I switched the TV on, zapped around, and stopped, because the few seconds I looked at without knowing what's all about, where and when it plays were enough to fascinate. A slow, very calm camera, a half absurd, but totally natural conversation with actors being as real as real life is. First after the movie ended I found out what its name was, so I came to see if I find any information here. Well, it wasn't much.
In my opinion this movie deserves a 9 from an international viewer, but a clean 10 from somebody who knows Romania. Fantastic director (Lucian Pintilie is well known on the European cinematic scene), fantastic - despite its simplicity and linearity - script, professionally developing plot, great actors - and I really mean great, on best international level - and a very fine, sensible psychological and sociological study.
I am deeply moved and still - after many hours - enthusiastic. The movie deserves standing ovations.
