Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)
different perspective
It is a very unique film like the other Jarmusch film. A lot of characterization of film make it unique and special like Whitaker acting. The charisma in the character pictured by him perfectly.
Film runs in the philosophy of samurai and one man believe completely that concept. Because of dedication Whitaker did his attempt. The mob does not understand why this man act like that and they think he is a weired guy. A lot of perspective could be found in the film like Louie^s perspective, mobs perspective and Whitaker^s perspective everyone interpret the situation different like ghost dog believe and respect his master and he is ready to die for him and he thinks that mob did mistake to him. Louie thought only survive he knows that ghost dog did not mistake but he accept sacrifying ghost dog, mob things that Whitaker must be dead because of mistake the girl who is daughter of Vargo thought that the whole events meaningless. The book Rashamon that belong to Vargo^s daughter was about crime and the people in that crime. All people in the event tell different story about crime which story assist that he was innocent. The book rashamon uses in the film brilliant.
The way of acceptance of death in mob and Whitaker shows the missing of the old days in the gangster life the man who kill the police says that like the man killed us like old days or something.Also the conversation in the car about killing a lady policeman is brilliant.
Pearline and the ice cream guy give another dimension to the film they proof the ghost dog is real man and the girl idealized the student of ghost dog.
In conclusion this film was very good Jarmusch did his job well and he explained story and the way of samurai is well so we can accept the death of Whitaker and love the dramatic final of the film
Das Leben der Anderen (2006)
lack of experience German cinema
This is not a bad movie film has got a positive characteristic like good acting, applicable camera techniques and especially the twist in the story about wiesler character. also I thought that film has got a negative characteristic like lack of deep analyze about character for that long film, also the runtime was very long and film has gota slow mood.
The German cinema was improving and that film is the proof of it but as i said before this film has got a big problems like film did not tell you the reason behind why characters thread that way. the twist in the story was very important but why wiesler change his mind about report dreyman to his commander yes the commander was a bad man but is it enough to be change his mind about the regime of country. not..wiesler believe the socialism deeply we understand the beginning of the film.
The Man from Earth (2007)
hidden message
interesting and clever story but i think the film has some problems like acting all people in the movie fad bad acting and response if someone says he is Jesus and 14OOO years old i threat different and also the film has problem like john oldman said he had doing biology PhD in 18OO sth why he was not doing experiment with his blood or sth. of course this is not the main point of the film but i think it is hole of plot. also i think that the Jesus concept give into story on purposely for opposing creationalist. so i thought that film has a message like there is no Jesus. apart from that i love the story and the film was not boring however there was no action
El gran calavera (1949)
Buñuel masterpiece
this is not an classical Buñuel film he does not use any metaphor. film belong to comedy genre but i thought that it was not funny and it was not a good movie if the director is not Buñuel this film get a point like 3 or 2.sparazitoiler*the story was very basic its about a rich man without desire of living and people surrounding himself that are parasite. one day brother of that man decide to do show how real life is going on and the games begin.* as i said before very basic story and you can add to rich poor love in it. we can think that is 195O but there are a lot of good movies in that time. in conclusion this film is not good.
Lola rennt (1998)
postmedernity
pstmodernity affects movie as well as the other art concept. run lola run heavily affect quantum and chaos theory and the structure of the movie had not have classical method. it is visualized that how could similarly started three stories deviate from ecah other. The stories that change with the actions of Lola are combined at some points.spoiler*As an example of this relatedness we can give Lola's learning of how to use a gun in the first macro-sequence did not repeated in the second macro-sequence since she learned it before*. As a result of this we can say that the movie is not only built on chaos theory but also it is built on the quantum physics which can be specified as the physical interactions of parallel universes that are manifested in the 3 different realities of the same event.
Iki Genç Kiz (2005)
bad mowie
This movie is about the different thoughts on life and incidents of two girls that are about to enter womanhood. Behiye is a character that does not accept the roles of ordinary woman and as a result she is rebellious. Handan is a girl that is having the trauma of a dissolved family and he needs and searches for love. Also, she does not have friend. The movie is about their passionate and unbalanced friendship. In my opinion, acting is a little bit hyperbolic and this fact made me harder to believe the story. Finally, it is good movie in illuminating us about women's point of viewbut the cinematography and the acting was bad
No Such Thing (2001)
art of cinema
No Such Thing is really a weird film if we consider the story, characters or editing. The characters in the movie is symbolic figures more than real people. Although there is a monster in the movie, the movie does not give us information about how and why it is emerged. This fact signifies that the movie is more like satirical a one on human relations, politics and media. It has an unusual humour, that we did not get used to, about how people, media and politics handle the unusual or interesting things without having respect to unusual by using it on their behalf. Also we can say that this movie is not really an active
Blade Runner (1982)
ai
Blade Runner is one of the oldest movies that study the relationship between men and computer. A lot of film inspired blade runner like matrix ,terminator. Artificial intelligence was investigated detail in the film with Harrison ford dilemma about killing relicannts. Spoiler*Although Harrison Ford is supposed to kill these machines; he is influenced by their will to survive with the questions about what could be the emotions of artificial intelligence. Replicates-machines-seems to be evil in the beginning of the movie but as the movie continues we understand that they kill for not to be killed.* This will to survive is the most human-like instinct that we witness. As a result, we can say that the AI is and its emotions are very close to human beings and their emotions and feelings.spoiler* We can understand this also from the saving of Harrison Ford at the end of the movie by a machine although it does not gain anything from Harrison's survival.* However, this contrary to the basic structure of the movie and it can be considered as an effort to finish the movie with a happy ending, this carries the message of the humanization of the machines.
The second edition of the film has some extra parts that enlighten us who is the last replicant and i thought he was Harrison ford.
Do the Right Thing (1989)
Talking music
In this movie, like in the other movies of Spike Lee, music is frequently used in order to give meaning to the movie. Also, at some points music answers some questions that are related to the movie and music carries the coming messages of the movie. Moreover,the hip hop style music that is used in the film involves many talking and words 'when music merge with lyrics music acquires more concrete content because words, of course, have specific references'. These conversations in the music has a reason since hip hop music is emerged to tell the problems and rebellions of African American citizens. If we remember that Spike Lee is an African American it is not so surprising that he used hip hop music to give his message since he was grown in this tradition and get used to it.
As we observed generally the music in the opening credits of this movie give us many clues about in what kind of an atmosphere the movie will be on. Also, without knowing about the director of the movie, one can understand from the music and the dancing lady the movie will be in a ghetto,like Harlem, where African American citizens inhabited. The structure of the movie become visible since the beginning of it. Spike Lee continued to use this effect of the music in the following of the movie, too, in reflecting the collectively lived feelings. For example, when these black people opening the plug and trying to be warm they seem to be very happy and during this scene we hear the rage music that reflects the same emotions of joy. This scene with the effect of music it can be concluded that these people wants to be relaxed. Also, the lyrics of this music- you can't stand the heat- reflects the atmosphere as being hot with giving the feeling of beyond endurance of this hot. Also as we understand from the song and the subtexts, those people have the idea that white people do not care for them and they thought that they abondened them to this life. These thoughts push them to fight with the Sal that reflects whites who bothered from this high volume music.
Another important effect of the music can be witnessed in the building of characters of people with the help of specific songs that are repeated with relation to a character. As an example of this, we can give the Radio Raheem's song of Fight to Power and the disco music that the kids on the stairs listen. This two example give us their background and this songs and music are the only clues that helps us to categorize these people. The music or the music listened matches people with their ethnicity and way of thought, like salsa for latins and Sinatra for Sal and Italians.
The Night of the Hunter (1955)
dilemma
This film is about the dilemma between the good and evil in the search for the winner of game. We can understand this from the writings of love on Harry Powell's right hand and hate in his left hand during making his hands collide.The referred scene above can be observed in the hands of Meat Loaf in the movie of Rocky Horror Picture but in the case of Meat Loaf we could have the chance to know his past that makes us understand why he become entangled in contradictions about good and evil. On the other hand lack of the knowledge of the past of Harry Powell we cannot have the chance to understand why he become entangled in contradictions about good and evil.
As a result of the imperfections like a mentioned above in illuminating us about the characters, we cannot solve Harry's contradictions between good and evil.For example in his game of Love and Hate,the reason behind the victory of love is his subconscious will of this or is it his efforts to deceive his audiences. As movie pass like this it ends up with the victory of love,but this result did not come by the impacts of the character. Like the majority of Hollywood movies this results from the will of the director.
