this is a really great no bullshit movie, only movie I've seen where people act rationally to everything and there's no unnecessary jump scares.
I never want to watch it again. Haunted me like Hereditary. One of the best horror-movies of the last 10 years.
The last movie of a masterpiece. Everything is extraordinary, the music, the acting, the costumes, the story, the battles... The epilogue is a little bit long but who cares ? You don't want something like this to ever end and every little moment spent with the characters is more than welcome.
Maybe it’s because I watched this three hours after a funeral, but this made a ton of sense to me and resonated with me a lot.
I do wonder if there’s some kind of informational gap between the sub and dub (I watched the sub), because I’ve read a number of comments/reviews after the leaving the theater that claim certain aspects were confusing and disjointed. And in a number of cases (not all, but many), I feel like the movie actually did tell you what was going on, either in the literal dialogue or the visual subtext. There is definitely room for interpretation and the insertion of your own life though.
Ultimately this is a meditation on grief and moving on. People are not “boring” or “emotionless” when they’re grieving. Grief turns you into a shell, a husk, and you have to fight your way out. Sometimes while wrapped up in grief, you don’t want to do the right things, but you do them anyways because you know you have to. You might not do it with a smile on your face or a bounce in your step, but you do it nonetheless, because the ones you grieve for would want nothing less from you.
A beautiful vibrant and real way to spend a quarter of an hour in early sixties Santiago, Cuba. You're keenly aware by the end of the immense loss of Sara Gómez at so young an age - after this and her feature film, what could have been ? A sad thought but this film throbs not with sadness but with life!
We're so lucky to have a restoration of this.
I give Paul Walker's hair a 10/10 and this movie a 07/10.
I thought I couldn't get more disappointed by Indiana Jones after watching the (in my opinion) absolutely hyped "Raiders of the Lost Arc". But then I saw "The Temple of Doom" and it's even worse! I will never get how this franchise got such a huge fan base: a mediocre plot at best, mediocre acting, laughable characters combined with special effects and stunts that let you tear out your hair (at least in the year 2015)! I suggest you skip this crap-fest and watch another one of the 1001 decent action/adventure flicks available!
Watching Michael chase Laurie and Dr Loomis chase Michael, I felt like I was watching trivial pursuits.
The first 'Thankskilling' had a nice low budget charm about it and was a decent slasher parody. This sequel is absolutely fetid dogshit. Bigger budget doesn't mean better.
Perfect blend of 80s cheese and mindless fun. Also, will be useful as a historical piece when shopping malls no longer exist.
It's hyped as one of the classic movies this one, and while there were some fantastic elements of noir and murder mystery, I think I have seen better. It looks lovely (I don't think I've ever seen so many Dutch angles in one film), and the performances are solid, but the middle segment of the movie slightly lost my interest a little. I can imagine it was a real eye opener back in the day though
I'm mad that the biological mother of Suzie didn't try harder in looking for her lost 3 daughters. I mean the on-going case was heavily televised for a looong time and she didn't recognize her ex-husband and her own daughter???!
What happened to Suzie's younger sisters, Allison and Amy? The mother told they were probably dropped off at an orphanage. Did someone look into their whereabouts?
Wow. Just wow. If this was just a movie, you’d think the storyline is too much and it’s not believable at all. But here we go.
… If the birth mother cared a little more, if the high school friend would speak up, then maybe none of this would have happened. Heart shattering.
The dialog in this film is fantastic.
I never thought a remake would be on the same level of greatness and get that same uncomfortable feeling as the original. Both films should hold up today and that's the best thing ever.
Remakes (to me) can turn out in many different way's if you look at it's history of films. There are remakes that are known as classic and way better than the original. Films like John Carpenter's "The Thing" and the 1986 film "The Fly" that has been kept in everybody's hearts as one of the greats. But whenever there's good there's always bad. Remakes seem to everywhere now if it's horror, Sci-Fi, action or drama you can't escape of what I like to call it, "The Curse of the Remade".
But Nosferatu the Vampyre (in my opinion) is the best remake I've seen.
The atmosphere and it's slow build up of suspense is the top key things that made this movie kind of chilling at times. I was glued me to screen with those two supporting the film. That's what makes a great horror movie; no stupid and annoying jump scars, and no mindless blood and gore. Just a creepy setting and the atmosphere around the movie really hold up the film.
Klaus Kinski who played Nosferatu did one quite a performance in this movie. He got the character so perfectly well that it's like the actor is doing a small little tribute to Max Schreck original role in the 1922 film, and an awesome tribute it was.
Overall rating: Brilliant directing, the acting from everyone was great, the cinematography was some of the best I've seen, and the set designs was just perfect in this movie.
Typical Fassbinder heavy dialogue and elegant camerawork. The film deconstructs female relationships through a mesmerizing performance by Margit Carstensen. The framing and focus pulls are exceptional considering it's a 2 hour film shot in one room. von Kant spirals into despair as certain relationships explode, but the final scene is beautiful.
The original title of the film is Die Bitteren Tränen der Petra von Kant.
I found this documentary really interesting. It shows the ability of the human soul to bond in unique ways to an animal.
Plus, it was beautifully shot, with great views of Istanbul and its cats.
A great father and son journey, Bruno is just the best. That mozzarella sandwich looked fantastic. The whole time while he was looking for the bike I was thinking just steal another one but when he actually did I was shocked. I didn't think it would go down like that and I'm still sad he didn't find his bike.
[DOK.fest '22] The director makes a connection between the development of Turkish music from the 60s to the 80s and immigration to Germany, but without the possibility of breaking down cultural barriers. From the need for labor in 1959 to the resurgence of xenophobic movements after the fall of the Berlin wall. The film knows how to make good use of the color and the imaginative representation of those decades.
This should cool off the Rambo wannabes. The opening beach assault sequences were the most violent, realistic, and upsetting filming I've ever seen; looked as though the thing was actual combat footage. The shushing noises of rounds cutting through the air was the most chilling part of all. Perfect portrayal of the insane stupidity of war and the anguish of all who enter this most foolish of enterprises. A must see.
I find it sad that so many people are so narrow-minded that they will not watch a movie that is black and white or, in this case, is subtitled. I feel sorry for people who refuse to watch a movie like Life Is Beautiful just because it is a foreign film. They have no idea what a beautifully acted and directed film this is, and they'll never know what an amazing experience they are missing.
Life Is Beautiful manages to walk the extremely thin line between humor, fantasy, and tragedy. Sure, the film is clearly comedic, but nevertheless it manages to very effectively communicate the tremendous losses suffered in the Nazi concentration camps and has scenes at least as intense as any scene in Schindler's List.
This is one of the best films that I have ever seen. It manages to be so encompassing that you hardly notice the subtitles are even there. I proudly cast my vote of 10.
Great motion picture representation of the Hulk as I always knew him. Spectacular, well done.
This movie takes no hostages... The driving was absolutely top notch, the special effects were beyond good and although the action was relentless, it never once felt fatigued or over done. This movie delivers on all its promises. If you want a pure action flick that wastes no time, Mad Max Fury Road is it!
So in other words, everyone up until September 25th who has the collected status of this movie here on Trakt has a crappy cam version....
Movies like this one should not be viewed from the recordings of a camcorder someone managed to hide in his jacket or bag or whatever. I have not seen it yet, but i refuse to let my experience of what i hear is an awesome kick-ass movie be ruined by a cam version with a shaky view, people who get up and stand before the camcorder and a sound that just doesn't do my ears or my expensive headphones any justice.
Watched it randomly when it came on the TV, I actually enjoyed it
Absolutely weird and creepy
