Deep (for an american) movie
This movie was a surprise.
From the beginning, the plot and the evolution of the story depict characters' "passions" and obsessions. Those obsessions are moving the characters away from self awareness. I understand that there is a tendency in the movie to criticise the presence and the usage of social media in our every day lives. Which may lead to the obsession of image cultivation, of a successful media persona. Everyone want a piece of the success story so bad, without analysing what success is.
Well no spoilers but the finale is simply magnificent. A psychiatrist's happy end. A real substantial drama.
Sorry to Bother You (2018)
Sorry to bother different opinions
The film is very good.
The photography, the editing, the music and the script seem are the strong points of the film.
There are some profound aspects of examples in current societies, which are oversimplified in a way to be understood by everyone. And it is working in the specific film. Basically is the psychology of the crowd vs the psychology of the individual and the ethics on when should someone go to the one or the other direction. Which is played beautifully by the actors.
I deeply enjoyed it.
I would not suggest this film to anyone who do not want to trouble their minds over issues of psychology and politics.
Ruben Brandt, a gyujto (2018)
The closest example to perfection
One of the best films that I have watched so far.
It is almost perfect.
I feel that there are some people that will not understand the movie (from some comments that I've red in IMDB), but I believe that every aspect of the film was insanely carefully designed. The plot, the characters, editing and music everything is in balance and simply flawless.
Court (2014)
Some may saw a masterpiece, I would say rather dull but important
This is a kind of movie that when I saw, I thought is was boring in a way.
But I believe that these kind of movies should not be judged in a matter of how many stars would you rate in IMDB, but how much do you think of the characters and their lives afterwards.
There are of course people that have rebellious thinking that may be notorious in their society, as well as there are very respectable professions which they may exercise their profession without taking into account the ethic significance that their call may have. There are occasions in which calls had been made as simply as they watch tv or eat lunch, whereas another life changes forever.
All the Bright Places (2020)
Very good movie - not so powerful drama
This film is an easy to watch drama. The plot is very interesting and there are some truly precious lines. The style and the presence of main female role (Elle Fanning) is absolutely stunning. There are though some aspects of the film that were not very carefully designed or edited. Maybe it was script's inconsistency. I must say that in comparison to other adolescent - school movies of this era is much better and has a more mature realistic point of view. Sometimes, It feels that there is a death necessary for the drama to be fulfilled, but for the specific film it felt unnecessary, or badly designed.
Secret in Their Eyes (2015)
Secret in Their eyes
This is a very good production. The editing, the sound, the acting are very good. I find the adaptation of the remake a bit problematic.
There has been an attempt to alter the script in comparison to the Argentinian film, and that led to change the depth of the meaning of the story on the whole, as to even out the rough dramatic character and the motivation of dead-end option is something that was not so strong on the basis of ethics and taking revenge.
In the end the "secret in their eyes" is something not utterly unique, which weakens a lot the link between the title and the plot.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
Curse or justice?
There are a lot of people that I know, who are going to regret watching this film. Only a few would enjoy a film like this. The reason (I believe) is that not everybody enjoys watching films that may trouble his mind or those films which contain ambiguous endings.
The film has great screening and great picture, although the "zoom-in" & "zoom-out" effect at some extent was tiresome.
The plot is about,
-soft lies among the "perfect" family environment,
-guilt that pushes into fake acts of kindness and
-the classic meaning of the phrase "revenge is a dish best served cold".
The last one in the universe of the movie has an unavoidable strength - like the power of fate which many may believe - and causes a very strong moral dilemma.Yet not all the parts of the plot could be explained, some acts may be regarded as devine or simply irrational
It is not so fun watching a drama like this, but being in the right mood this film could be as amusing & fascinating as a classic tragedy.
