10 years in the making, unbelievable if it all wasn't the truth. Well told with a sinister form of humor. Will never think of north korea the same way.
Of cause for some people, this is old news. But it's the masses that need to change, information is power. What is good and what is bad information the algorithm has no idea about. But hey, give me a upvote, it'll like that.
Many movies tries to tell about life in the 19th century. This one gives a view into the 19th century mind and how they perceived the world. For me very few movie actually does this, and it's difficult for me to remember one that does it without really trying to be smart. And it isn't even the main part of the movie, but these small "i never taught about it that way" will ensure that this movie is one I'll never forget. That the cinematography and the acting is top class definitely helps as well. But most of all, this is a story well told.
fantastically poetic. A true dance of reality, what is facts, what is ideals? How do we remember them, and how can you show that in a film? What would we do without poetry.
As always with David Lean, well acted (children being not as well) and brilliant cinematography. if you don't read your Dickens, my guess is that this is the second best option for this classic.
This documentary feels made with all the standard tricks in the documentary filmmakers field manual, and thus brings nothing new other then the points made by Piketty, and other like-minded intellectuals, which in themselves are enough to watch it. Especially the parallels to 18th century autocracies and generation-heritage and where it can lead, are easy to imagine.
And there are a lot of film references in the editing, so that's always something.
It is easy to understand why some people are offended by the staging and the clichés of this movie. I on the other hand found the cinematography mind blowing, considering the recording equipment. Some is staged, but that doesn't make it an easier achievement.
Look into the mind of an internet generation would-be serial killer. Probably not the last. Raises the whole question of how much effect our action on the internet have, and how the information society has changed the name of the game. food for thoughts.
Already in his first movie Werner Herzog shows that he is a masterful movie maker. The setting is quite interesting, set in acient Greek ruins, an old fishing town, and beautiful landscapes, perfectly captured on camera. The German soldiers are all part of the German Nazi army, but are all shown as human. No traditional all Nazis are evil triviality. Humans are humans.
Incredible how much more substance there is in this movie compared to 95% of what has come out of the mc universe since Spider-Man 2. Perhaps it's because all the stories are kind of the same, in this one though there is more craft put into storytelling than 50min fighting CGI sequencenses. Some of it may be dated but the heart is still there.
A family drama and a world changing event, where the drama is equally important. "Maybe it's the most important event in the universe right now."
I found it quite refilling to see a movie about Woodstock, and festivals in general, with a focus - not on the music -but the people behind the festival.
All in all we're all just a bunch of naked hippies wanting to break free.
Ang Lee knows how to make beautiful pictures, this one set around bushwhackers in the American civil war, from a southern perspective. Feels more like a western than a war-movie. The nonchalant violence fits perfectly with the love stories. a strange form of realism and a bit to long.

It had a lot of feeling like a John Pilger documentary from the 60-80's. Not that that's a bad thing. Less abstract that Herzog usually are.Movie comment on The Social Dilemma

Herzog will always be Herzog. In this movie he's taking his camera to Australia, focusing on Aboriginals and property rights. As always worth a watch.Movie comment on La danza de la realidad
