Irréversible (2002)
Motion sickness
Okay this movie was like a Quentin Tarantino foreign film. I understand people say it was brutal and it was. It is on some most disturbing movie top 20 list. That is why I watched it, but after watching it would not be on my top 20 anything list.
For me I had a hard time watching it when the camera was spinning not shaky like the Blair Witch, literally the people are sometimes sideways on the screen. The spinning goes along with the music like a amusement park ride. At parts I had to fast forward until the screen stopped spinning.
The effects in the fight and beating were very well done not the CG stuff in a lot of movie. The attack on the women was long, and did not add anything for me by being that long and showing me the whole event. In an Eye for an Eye we only see blurred images and the phone on the ground but that was move emotional upsetting for me.
I gave this such a low rating because I really had a hard time watching it with the spinning. I hate feeling nauseous like I have been on the teacups carnival ride for to long while sitting still in my own house.
Inhale (2010)
Unbelievable
Spoilers coming up so reader beware. Okay the movie was engaging and really kept my attention until the last 15 Min's. Then this movie became something that we would all like to tell ourselves we would do if we were in the situation, save the child they were going to use as the donor for your own child.
I'm going to be honest like I wish others would be, I would save my kid. The father Paul is shady the whole movie defending a convicted pedophile against one of the parents of his victim who shot him. I say way to go for that dad he was willing to do anything for his kid. That is how I thought our main character was evolving, taking to off from the case. Following every lead, going to Mexico, trying to do anything to save his daughter. I knew something bad was going to happen as soon as he said he need the organ in a day. I was guessing that it would be his side kick that they killed, but he acted like he had no clue anything illegal was going to happen. When everything he did in Mexico was illegal he thought finding an organ in a day would be by the book. Oh come on get real. I know it was wrong how they were getting the organ but to still pay the money to save a stranger and let your own baby die. I would have had to sell everything I own to afford this surgery and I would do it for my kid no questions asked but not a stranger. Maybe people with $250.000 cash sitting around can afford to be this generous, the type of shady lawyer he was I expect he found away to write it off in taxes. For the average person this would have been everything they had by begging, saving, borrowing gone and a funeral to pay for on top of it.
After watching a movie like John Q with Denzel Washington, a father that was willing to sacrifice himself to get an organ for his son. I cry every time I watch that movie it shows me the kind of parent I hope I can be if I was in the same terrible situation. I Inhale is a movie I would not recommend or ever watch again. It is like old yellow, if you watch it turn it off when the prep the daughter for surgery and imagine a happy ending. I wish I had.
