I found the screenwriting to be quite weak as well as the others here that commented about the story missing this or that.
The point is that even being a weak story, it's simple and it's enjoyable in most parts, but visually speaking it's just stunning... 5 or 6 for such a visual masterpiece is an injustice I'm sorry.
PS: Don't worry there is no spoiler, only an incentive for you to watch it.
This won't be a huge comment, but the scene at the end is worth the entire movie and even more. That scene is a result of very good writing and god-level acting and directing. I felt powerless and sad. It also demonstrates the duality between romance and life in a way that I never experienced in cinema.
:clap::clap::clap:
They did a very good job on all fronts. The script is very well thought which makes it really enjoyable, the acting is superb, it's spooky when it has to but overall it's a crime show.
As always the best things are an inch "harder" to find, it's delusional that the average people gets hooked by cheaper shows.
Really poor acting along with bad writing of the characters. Can't believe this movie comes from nanni moretti...
This work is important, majestic, biblical, huge.
Sadly, a lot of time has passed since my last visit to a cinema and there couldn't have been a more appropriate movie to watch there.
In fact, I consider it important because watching Dune we are all reminded that we still cannot do without cinemas.
This piece of art shocks, us spectators, very hard for the sounds and music, the scenography, and the customs. To those who said they didn't feel particularly connected to the characters, I must say that I think it was intended to be this way.
This is one of the reasons I find this movie majestic and biblical because it's a bit like watching photographs from the past or watching a paint: you hardly empathize with the characters in it, but you're able to admire the beauty and you can still feel certain emotions.
But at the same time watching Dune is clearly a more immersive experience compared to watching a paint. It's a journey from the perspective of an omniscient narrator to a dystopian futuristic world, made of technology, tyranny, and sand
At the end of this movie, I felt exhausted as much as the characters themselves... As it has already been said here between the comments, I think that this was intended by Levinson and therefore I cannot criticize him over this. I do recognize Malcolm & Marie as a great movie but it is not my cup of tea.
It's absolutely not about boredom or some other bullshit I've read in other reviews. I personally think that I didn't really enjoy it because I felt no attachment to the characters for some reason. What a pity.
I'd comment this movie with only one sentence: is love a sickness or being sick is to love?
By the way, great movie. Great Lewis as always, I just love every way he behaves behind the camera... what an actor!
I think he's one of the best italian actor and filmmaker of all time.
The thing that excites me the most is that this movie, made in 1981, is very contemporary in the way he tells the story and for all the topics that it talks about.
I would have liked to see him still alive :'(
Since this has been released on the day of my birthday I really hope this is going to be a great show.
I liked this first episode a lot and funny fact: every time the camera points to the king, it seems like he's going to die one second later.
It's more a movie than an episode due to its length and it's just awesome. I loved this episode and the whole show in general.
Black Mirror has this power, that relies in every detail, of showing off the raw human nature: its photography, the concept behind the plots, the actors that are very good to let us feel the obsession of the characters, even the soundtrack... everything take a huge part to the whole experience that the writers want us to feel.
Very good job!
Awesome shit... My god Black Mirror is back, everybody.
What a finale... "Is there light where you are yet?"
Don't know why precisely, but the ending scene and more in general this season finale have been something glorious! Wonderful
Some people didn't like this movie because they expected something else, they wanted something like a funny, happy and joyful movie, I'm sure about this. But its greatness relies on the pain of the characters. It is full of concepts and problems and love and hate.
Loved it and unfortunately underrated.
I've seen so many tv series and I want to say only one thing. The last long scene of this episode has been the best longest artistic and emotional moment of all the shows I watched.
Thank you for this.
So many feelings in this episode.
The first episode of the show was so bad, but now it's so deep and full of suffering and joy that you find yourself crying without a reason.
Wonderful.
The way the horror movies should be done.
It seems that the film makers of these days have forgotten how to do good horror movies, infact I stopped watching them a lot of time ago. This movie, instead, is the wonderful example of the great things that can be done, it's not just blood, screams and scary moments, but there is a whole story that keeps you glued to the screen thanks also to Sam Neill.
Awesome! It's incredible the strength that this movie has to send your mind back to the first time that these two little monsters appeared on the big screens. I was just a little kid when the first movie came out and watching this it's like being child again.
Leaving memories apart and judging the movie for what it is, I can say that it's never boring and very funny.
