The film takes place at a time when smoking cigarettes was apparently more important than paying attention to the traffic lights.
Carole, the main character, seems to be under the spell of something. Even in her childhood, she is not with herself, as you can see in the photo of her family. She constantly looks quite apathetically somewhere, as if she were not there, or as if she saw something that others do not see.
She may be obsessed with something that she has been able to suppress halfway successfully all these years, but then is unleashed by a trigger and can no longer be held back.
Actually a really nice movie. Only the end was a little too abrupt for me from today's point of view. The film builds up for a long time and it does that very well. Soft camera movements and a beautiful image composition make you very close to the main protagonist. It almost feels like you're experiencing the story together with Carole.
Except that the film is black and white, I would not have thought that it was from 1965.
Precisely because the film is black and white, lights and shadows appear much more clearly in their expression.
In my opinion, the film is even better in black and white than in color.
The German film title is: Disgust – Ekel.
So I wondered all the time where the film title finds its place here. Now I know it's not the disturbing moments that are disgusting, but rather the men in this film. They take themselves more important than anything else, simply touch women and invade their privacy.
The scene where he, who fell in love with Carole, visits her at home and then enters the door violently because he supposedly saw a shadow through the peephole, is the icing on the cake.
What's going on? Then he stands in the middle of the room and says: "Oh, sorry." No wonder Carole feels harassed. Or the landlord who browses through the whole apartment, looks at everything, condemns the tenants and then also harasses Carole.
I think I'll get some cognac.
Huge thanks for maintaining the list!
This is the beginning of my long journey into the Marvel Universe. :)
The movie was really fun.
For me as a gamer there was a lot to discover here.
I really liked the idea of the 3 easter eggs.
These created the entire plot of the film and it didn't feel far-fetched. They were secrets like I imagine them in good games.
The plot in the game world was well thought out. On the other hand, I found the plot in the real world to be a bit overdone.
I can imagine that people will eventually live as shown in the film due to their own mistakes, but I can't imagine that there are no more laws and order, whoever sets them. Throughout the movie I wondered if there weren't any police and how big corporations could just kill and blow up anything. But whatever, in the end it all added to the tension.
I'm already saving my money for a full body suit with a microfiber coating in the crotch.
The picture in UHD and the accompanying Dolby Atmosphere sound must have really scared the guy on stage when the train rolled up...
This old short film actually had a storyline!
The scene with the criminal's dream was portrayed quite nicely with the picture in picture. Good techniques are used here for the year 1901, only with the stage design they could have made more effort.
Crazy facial expressions, otherwise I really don't know what to think of the short film...
In the short film was probably the first focus pulling?
With such a thing, I always think: 'Crazy that someone hasn't come up with this idea before!'
Nevertheless, it is nice to have seen this piece of film history.
That's kind of nice to look at. Now I just have to play the movie backwards again so that I can see the reconstruction...
When watching the short film, I got the feeling of looking for security on the only constant in the picture, on the stairs.
Everything else changes through the shadows and seems threatening with the music. Do not touch the ground!
How can David Lynch actually sleep relaxed when he writes such films? The entirety of the movie creates an uncomfortable atmosphere.
A film that could have originated from a child's nightmare after the first day of school.
Really nice to see moving pictures from this time. Beautiful shots of Piero Marelli.
The red tone at the end somehow created a parallel to David Lynch in my head.
I am really impressed by the quality.
Good picture and beautifully colored by hand.
At a time when a dressing table stood in the living room instead of a TV.
First spoken words on film and then everything in color...
A nice part of film history.
Nice movie trick.
Greatly executed and very elaborate for the time.
Wow, how Loie Fuller performs Serpentine Dance here looks pretty good, almost psychedelic.
The short film was colored by hand to illustrate the impression of the lamps that illuminate her from below.
They probably won't get very far with the small nutshell.
The very short film has a nice image division and somehow a calming effect.
That felt like 15 frames per second and yet I am really impressed by the quality of the recording from 1900.
The whole thing was filmed by a real magician named Nevil Maskelyne.
He probably also traveled through a stargate to the Asgard to finally ascend and sit at the round table again with Merlin and Artus.
What is completely normal for us amazes the people to be seen.
A camera...? ...and it moves?!
It's about the Eiffel Tower, but the whole thing around it is much more interesting.
The Astronomer's Dream, the prequel to A Trip to the Moon shows a moon as scary as I have never seen before.
The idea of watching this film in 1898 is simply crazy. The viewers must have thought that Georges Méliès was a magician.
L'homme machine is not the very first animated film, as I thought at first. The short film shows what happens when Étienne-Jules Marey, a bird researcher, tests how to move objects on film.
A bad story, and trivial decision-making processes, as well as bad actors have made the movie what it is.
Should I eat this huge, fat, disgusting, winding maggot? You decide!
Should I chew the leech or swallow it whole? You decide!
Bear Grylls as you know him.
Deciding which path to take was kind of funny, but in the end the monkey grilled the lion in the electricity fence.
That's what you get from not listening to and trusting mom.
Before you know it, she belongs to a Celtic circle of witches and lives forever.
Finally, the mathematicians were able to see completely crazy colorful pictures at their seminar.
I'm glad about their discovery, that's really cool shit, the documentary was a little lame, but still super interesting.
Nicolas Cage meets a poorly animated animal...
Movie is good to watch by the way, but nothing more.
David Lynch did it again...
This morning I saw the movie and thought to myself: 'Oh God, what will that be now?'
After the movie, I was confused at first and didn't think of anything special. But throughout the day I had to think of Rabbits.
The movie gave me something.
During the film, I noticed how I tried to pay attention to small details all the time and were looking for a specific goal or storyline. At first I missed a clearly told story, but then I realized that I had a very uncomfortable feeling even without much action.
Was it now due to the rabbits, who talked like in different time parallels, but were somehow able to keep their conversations?
Was it the special camera perspective and the setting that made everything look like miniatures?
Angelo Badalamenti's gloomy music and the rain, which sounded more like it was in my living room?
The movie made me shudder, although not much actually happened. Even the rather demonic scenes made me less uncomfortable than the overall impression of the film, especially in the quiet moments.
Rabbits shows how to tell a plotless story and leave the viewer any possibilities for interpretation.
Nevertheless, the film manages to leave an unpleasant feeling.
A very nice story of how difficult it is to escape the hustle and bustle of our time, to find true love and to keep it.
Everything accompanied by good music and beautiful pictures.
It's all about Toototabon.
Is it the true love of the poor little, interrogated monkey, or is Toototabon just his excuse to distract from a terrible murder?
Who knows that?
In any case, the monkey finds the right words and always looks like the poor victim of a false interrogation against him through his facial expressions. He remains cool and calm to distract the suspicion of the crime. Well, that goes well until Toototabon appears.
And what should I think of all this now?
My first thought was: 'Incredible how emotional and credible the interrogation situation seems and in such a short film length!'
Maybe David Lynch wanted to show how much different and more real it can seem if you sit down a real monkey and make him speak using old techniques instead of completely animating him, as today. Whether the film was shot with old cameras, or it is just a filter that lies on the film somehow supported my thought. Just as this completely normal interrogation situation is depicted, I really believe that the animal kingdom plays a major role in the film. Monkeys go to work, orangutans may not be the smartest, but also have their place in society and all are also subject to human rights. Even how the monkey spoke and what he said felt honest and not wrong.
However, the perspective from bottom to top to the big man, the interrogator, already made clear the inferiority of the little monkey. I really hoped that the poor little one would get out of the situation safely again.
... and all this in 17 minutes.
Dynasty Warriors is literally screaming for a sequel that I don't think would be necessary at all. By this I do not mean the content, but rather the quality of the film, of which I have definitely seen enough.
Since the video game Dynasty Warriors 4, which I loved, I have been following the game series, which got worse from time to time. I was always wondering why no blood is depicted. This would greatly enhance the game with all the thousands of killings. The developers' answer is that this is too computationally intensive.
Okay, but that almost no blood could be seen in the movie made me smile. Don't misunderstand, I'm not thirsty for blood, but in my opinion that's just missing.
Surprisingly, it was extremely close to the games, which I think is very good. Even in different movements of the characters, you could see the parallel to the games.
However, the problem was often also here.
Many things were animated so badly that I often thought: 'Oh God... really?'
In contrast, other animations were extremely good, which I found extremely strange. As if they had two CGI teams. One for the extremely pretty and well-done animations in the background and a team that took care of the animations on and around the characters and had little to no time for it.
If I didn't know the game, I would have rated the movie even worse.
However, the camera team is very commendable. The movie can really score points with very good camera work and beautiful drone images.
I have to admit that I would probably have just turned off the movie if the beautiful landscapes hadn't been there.
Overall, I still have to say that the movie reminded me a lot of the cutscenes from the games, which I only skipped at some point.
Extraction is more action-oriented than attaching great importance to story and giving the characters depth.
Nevertheless, I didn't think the movie was bad at all. With the action as a good-supporting element, the summarized quite short plot has at least not harmed the movie.
Somehow I had to think of Solid Snake.
'Hey Snake! This is a rescue mission!'
One is sent in, clarifies the complete situation and leaves again. However, the infiltration mission here was far less tactical and much more conspicuous. With a lot of shooting and noise, a small war is sparked because of a boy.
Ultimately, I had to be ashamed to have a parallel to Solid Snake in mind at the beginning of the film. Well... La Li Lu Le Lo
