War of the Worlds (2005)
The Best Director Re-Hashes Someone Else's Novel
Spielberg directs a screenplay of a novel already done to death. Maybe next he'll use his dull imagination and write something ORIGINAL?? No, that is not something he can do. Why? Who knows. This film was called by Scientologist power bottom Tommy Cruise as made by the "Greatest Storyteller of our time" which is cute because the film is an adaptation of a novel, that already had been done before. So the greatest storyteller of our time tels other people's stories. That is SOOO cute! And to top it off, he changes some story lines to fit his jerk-off style of photography like he did in Saving Ryan's Privates. A load of donkey manure.
Petits frères (1999)
Amazing Film!
Jacque Dollion get's it right with this small film about a good of pre-teens who become friends despite tough circumstances.
I won't bother going into the plot because that is basically it, but the intriguing thing is that most 13 year olds who would veiw this film would understand why these kids would do what they do, whereas adults are shocked and probably would hate the film because of it. But this is how kids think and act - being un-exposed to the real world and living in a sort of half childhood and half adulthood, not really fitting in to either one, and trying to be in both.
