Containment (2016)
not very realistic
This is not a very realistic movie - no tension and very bad casting.
House of Cards: Chapter 32 (2015)
blatant gay propaganda
The hole episode evolves around the gay activist held hostage in Moscow. All the tension is focused towards the injustice that Petrov maintains against the gay people, "due to Russian people tradition" and hotter subjects like middle east peace are left behind.
It is a pretty boring episode and Claire is very out of character in this episode. She is emotional, moral, the inner gay militant ism of her builds up towards the end and erupts in the press conference. Not like Clair, however you take it and put it. They probably tried an experiment, tried to push Clair into some other nuances but it was a mistake in my opinion.
Overall it is a very weird episode and really breaks down the flow we are used to in this great series.
As a side note, Petrov character is very unrealistic and poorly acted both in this episode and in previous ones. Too bad they could not find a better actor or find a better solution for the acting, scenes and reflexes of such a grave and potential figure that Petrov is supposed to imitate (aka Putin).
Izgnanie (2007)
The Hard Truth
What a great way of portraying a rarely spoken but well known sad fact of today's society: in the modern family usually the man is the one responsible for the crime of abortion and also all the consequences this brings with it. The woman is weak: she needs the love and protection of the man to survive. She can not live in a fake relationship, she can not perform acting in a "live" theater.
And the lack of affection for the wife as well as the environment surrounded with love and protection that would encourage the wife to give birth and raise an other child, is what determines the woman to choose abortion.
The death of Vera after the abortion is also a symbolical representation of a psychological and spiritual reality: even in the abortions that have no physical consequences, the women will not be the same afterwards, a part of her dies along with the baby.
Embedded in a tender and short scene is the answer to all the problems. Before going to sleep, Frida reads from Paul's Epistle the definition of love while everybody listens. Unfortunately, Alexander is "sick" and his sickens spreads death all around him. This scene is far from him, both in physical and spiritual space.
He remains sick although he admits the mistake of asking Vera to kill the baby, and although his regrets about not accepting and not loving her. After two deaths he is ready to commit an other one, by going to Robert with the gun, prepared to get revenge. This demonstrates the brute force of the darkness and how one can fall from bad to worse.
Baran (2001)
A river of emotions
I hardly can remember when I saw a love movie in which I had no idea how it would end, just before the last scenes. It is just amazing the tension this movie embodies in every gesture. In a world that Hollywood crap stinks all over the place, a love movie in which there is no kiss and not even a touch, but still so much substance is a miracle. It shows the meaning of the true art: to open horizons, to excite the mind and to comfort the heart.
Friendship, love, sacrifice, but overall a profound metanoia are all bursting step by step as the events unfold and lead us following the hero to a state of profound accomplishment in which love transforms everything around, even a trivial rain pouring in a foot's mark.
