Stormig Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I watched The Dreamers last Friday night. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I was drunk and made people laugh during a movie like that. I slept through the second half, so I can't rate it. Sorry.

I kinda liked it but it was a big lie in historical sense The Tamplers had no connection to the founding of the U.S. whatsoever. But I like adventure movies in general...

Anileve Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Alfie wasn't all that great. The only thing it tried doing was to teach guys a moral lesson when it comes to hurting other people. But it would have been much better if it were a comedy, not drama. style_images/master/snapback.png Amy, I have to disagree with you, the movie was great. I never saw the original so I can’t compare, but this one was very interesting. I did feel like it was perhaps a bit romanticized, but philandering was not as glamorized as it is usually portrayed in James Bond movies, thus making it more realistic about people of such nature. Alfie was given more of a human abstract rather than a glittery image of a bachelor most men worship. I never really felt disgust with the character, but rather an understanding. I am sure the moral of the story was for men not to hurt women in a pursuit of getting their carnal needs to be fulfilled. However, to me Alfie was not conforming to the whole standard of “finding a person to settle with,” but rather exploring himself. Can you blame one if he has commitment fears, must you suppress those just because society diagnoses them as immoral? Or must you come to the state when you are truly ready and because you find yourself needing something more than good shag or a sexual conquest? There are plenty of men and women who follow the righteous path in romance because that is what they were taught. Some of them do it by repressing their true desires instead of coming to those conclusions through experience. That is what Alfie did, and I highly doubt that it was his intention to hurt women just for the sake of doing it. Basically there is no easy way to break somebody’s heart, and whether you like it or not, whether you are always moral and considerate, in love there is almost always at least one who gets hurt. Alfie realized that despite his charm and ability to get who he wanted and when he wanted, he was lonely. And when you don’t have people to care for in your life, loneliness becomes crushing and life - senseless. All in all, the movie was terrific, cinematography beautiful, and Law was superb (not to mention hot). Also his blond girlfriend was very striking, reminded me of Bridget Bardot for some reason.

Sasun Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) How about Hero? Anyone seen it? I went to see it because my very cool choir director gave it a thumbs up and called it a work of art The story is interesting and overall it's shot very well, but I thought the slow-motion scenes were too much for my taste. Almost every five minutes they'd have a long slow-motion scene with slow music. It was a bit overdone and I found that boring. 8.5/10 (With subtitles) style_images/master/snapback.png I saw it and liked the story a lot. But there was something cheesy in the execution. Why do the Chinese try to make American movies? As if there is not enough American crap already. Edited November 29, 2004 by Sasun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accelerated Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Vodka Lemon (Francia/Italia/Svizzera/Armenia 2003) of Hiner Saleem with Romen Avinian, Lala Sarkissian, Rosanna Mesropian Screw, Yvan Franek, Armen Maroutnian In the snowy badlands of post soviet Armenia, village life is nearing subsistence level. The Russians have long departed (along with their subsidies), and almost all of the villages young men have gone abroad for work. In the heart of sixtysomething year old Hamo, a handsome widower living with his alcoholic oldest son and his beautiful granddaughter, hope rests through his youngest son, who has recently immigrated to France in search of work. Hamo's sole possessions on earth - seven dollars a month for military pension, an old armoire, a broken soviet television set and his military suit – are barely enough to sustain him, leaving the grizzled patriarch to spend his days awaiting word—and money—from Paris. Biding time, Hamo finds contentment through his daily bus trips to the local cemetery where his wife has been laid to rest. It's during one of these visits that Hamo notices Nina, a beautiful fifty-year old widow who, like Hamo, is struggling to survive the harsh conditions of life in the village following the loss of her husband. Although an initial attraction between the two is clear, Hamo's loyalty to his dead wife and Nina's shyness forestalls the two from allowing the sparks to fly. Nina retreats to her job at the desolate village bar, Vodka Lemon, and Hamo hustles home with hope waning that his son in Paris has mailed him. The letter does in fact arrive but the money Hamo is so desperate for isn't included. Retreating back to the cemetery, Hamo once again runs into Nina and with a few kind gestures the two begin a September-December romance that will lead to the film's indelible conclusion: a Chagall-like vision of love among the ruins. Winner of the San Marco prize at the Venice Film Festival, Vodka Lemon is a bittersweet concoction with a kick. As one character says, the only thing the Russians have left them is the one thing they didn't have before—their freedom. The miracle of Vodka Lemon, the third feature by exiled Iraqi Kurd director Hiner Saleem, is that this portrait of an abandoned community is so magically upbeat. With its stunning, blinding-white vistas, its lovely Armenian score, and its Iosseliani-esque whimsy, the film celebrates its quirky characters at the same time that it mourns their plight. -- © New Yorker Films saw it half-hour ago. good movie, but depressing.

But I'm into that kind of history and you don't think that the Knights of Templar had any hand in the formation of these United States. It can make for some good diverstionary talk, but I don't stake my life in these things. But the movie aside there are a lot of signs of all sorts of occult activities and whatnot that are included in the formation of the US and some of its founding fathers.

Anoushik Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 (edited) Has anyone seen The Piano Teacher? I saw parts of it once on IFC, became very curious, and rented and saw it with my girlfriend over the summer. I don't know why I suddenly remembered it and would like to know if any of you have seen it? Any comments? Honestly, I don't know whether to like this film or dislike it, but one thing is for sure: once you start watching you cannot stop. This movie is a big surprise from beginning to end and yeah, it has nothing to do with music (even though there is plenty of beautiful classical music in the movie) Edited December 1, 2004 by anoushik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if it was the actual movie who made me feel like it was awful, and discusting. I really disliked it. Im not sure If i was just very sensitive and was in a bad state of mind at the time as when i was watching the film.But i only remember thinking that NObody should see that film!It was just a lot of violence without any reason to show it really... It was a long time ago I did see it, but I just remember how absurt it was. She was clearly a psykopath.she slept wit her mother, for what reason! ? the most stupid and most voilent film i ever saw, wich was really really bad!
