Featured review
Unprofessional Matter
Hi there.
I am Hubert, NYU Tisch Graduates on Broadway under Cinema Studies and still taking Actors Studio Drama with Acting Major at The Actors Studio Drama School. Susan Aston is one of my senior lecturer. What a nice revelation to notice there is some of the NYU apprentice here.
I have a big interest of international film. Talking about foreign movie, I bought this Film from Amazon and got the info from IMDb. Writing film reviews can be rewarding and enjoyable. Depending on the audience and the market it is written for.
I examined this feature closely and from time to time I think in actuality I have to see more than once to understand the narrative. This movie, it is not conventional but not a 'Newbie Style' either. Thriller that suggests even you don't know what they're getting into when they mess with and also mix with comedy? I am not familiar with this kind terms of story script or they just simply don't know how to explore visualization probability?
There are a lot of factor to make a good movie. The actor, director, producer, cinematographer etc are separate substances to deal but also something else.
Picture. I do not mind being weird, colorful and metaphor. But the picture did not speak for the whole chronicle. Why films need pictures? Because they want to throw the message!! If they can't do it, that's why we use audio to enhance it. If both audio & visual failed to send these progresses, they are most likely a not so good picture. And I haven't even talked about aesthetics part yet.
Acting. I have big applause to the actors. I can't say is it bad in detail or not since I don't really understand the culture behind those Asians. About Bayu, I don't think his stutter is involuntary unless you know him in person. They won't put those scenes if it's not supposed to be there. Even if he is, that psychological effect will bring the story even more interesting if the producer comprehend enough to bring into play. Cause sometimes flatness is the hardest part of the acting. I do have to say I have to give a credit for him. The only my main concern of them is I do not see any strong enough even one personality to be the main character (I am not talking about the acting but the character in the story).
The Director was right about film school. Everybody including me who's graduate from film school are stupid. Wonder, what else his movie.
Basically is not a bad movie for entertaining but don't hope too much. Just relax, get a pop corn + coke and have a sit.
