The visuals/cinematographic aspects of this film are excellent and really show imagination and push the film in the direction where it is meant to go. However, the characters are nearly all complete pieces of shit who I don't care about in the slightest. The main guy has absolutely no presence at all, which may or may not be intentional but it's still irritating and if it was intentional then it failed miserably at sucking me into his position. Paz De La Huerta plays these annoying bitchy characters far too well. The French guy is actually pretty cool but he's only in like 30 minutes of the movie. The philosophy that this movie centers around is the most pretentious bullshit imaginable. I'm no prude but the sex scenes in this movie are absurd and could have been done in a million better ways. There are also certain things that this movie does that are overly irritating. Yeah I get it, the strobe lights and that disgusting abortion scene are supposed to irritate me but they just go too far and those goddamn car crash simulations are practically giving me PTSD.
Long story short, I respect the imagination, directing talent, and effort that Enter the Void showcases but I fucking hate this movie. Oh, and the best part is the Beginning credits
I have seen this film many many times, last night on my hd tv in blu ray, and looked absolutely amazing, this is a masterpiece, this is cinema's mona lisa, absolutely spellbound watching it, gets better with every viewing
Seven Samurai can only be described as magical piece of art.
Don't let the 210 minute tag on the movie scare you. It is worth the ride and experience.
Each samurai has a distinguished trait which makes them memorable and allows the audience to form a bond with them
The cinematography is simply outstanding especially when it comes to the scenes that include rain.
An easy to comprehend plot with thrilling action scenes is also what adds to the appeal of Seven Samurai.
Depicts the Japanese culture and relation between Samurai and Farmers in the 1600s.
Memorable movie quotes:
* This is the nature of war: By protecting others, you save yourselves. If you only think of yourself, you'll only destroy yourself.
* Danger always strikes when everything seems fine.
Whole fucking system is corrupted!
Thought - provoking film +amazing music totally recommended
My father is a fan of Al Pacino and he always told me about a film where he was in called Serpico. I already knew the story of the film. It was about a policeman, Frank Serpico, who were the only honest man of his division, he believed in justice but all of the others around him were corrupt. He was the only one who doesn't accepted any kind of bribes, he not let himself take by greed and he had the courage to denounce the situation even knowing that everyone would turn against him. Sounds like a great story, but even with my dad always recommending me this film I don't know what took me so long to see it but I'm glad I finally did.
Al Pacino is one of the greatest actors in the history of cinema no doubt, and in here his work doesn't surprise because he is amazing, once again. Serpico is such an interesting and complex character and Pacino is able to play him in such a cool and smooth way.
This story is very believable, and told in a very real way with the perfect atmosphere of the 70's, afterall it's based on the true story of Frank Serpico. Serpico is a fantastic film due to the fantastic direction of Sidney Lumet.
Breathtakingly beautiful film. The first three quarters have familiar beats but they never get tiring leading to a pinnacle of a last quarter that absolutely broke me. Ends in a picture perfect “happily ever after”, which, for critics, could have been a gripe. But I don’t know who deserves the “happily ever after” more than these characters.
Please watch this beautiful film. If you have anything bad to say about it after, you’ll have to get by me first.
Wonderful and sad animated movie.
Did you know, that picking something up with your foot is surprisingly easy?
What? No, there's no particular reason for me mentioning this.
Overly dramatic movie, the trailer tells the whole story already and of course it has a "happy end".
The amnesia thing is way too convenient for the premise, waaaay too convenient.
Predictable in every way, shallow characters, nothing is explored whatsoever.
The past of the couple? Only a few hints at best.
Did she ever get her memories back? No-one involved cared about that tiny thing.
She's going to San Jose? What significance does that place have? Never explored.
Her family is dead, we do not know about any friends at all. Her husband was killed.
She's all alone and most likely incredibly traumatized but going to San Jose after 3 months.
Well, okay then.
This movie is uninspired all around. From writing, through acting, to directing/production.
A filler movie for a timeslot not even hiding it, nothing more.
Oh, we fulfilled our runtime requirement, let's wrap it up with killing the perp and skip 3 months ahead for a closing scene.
Cut.
What do you mean, it doesn't make sense?
