Well it is a classic. I then watched this movie when I was 13 years old at the cinema. Entrance would have been only allowed with 16 and over.. ;) It was an unforgetable experience. A fragile love-story written in a world of enprisonment and brutality. Beautiful music and artwork, genious actors and a story that still manages to make me cry.
genious masterpiece. Never seen such a cutting before. In the end all puzzle parts fit together and form a superb picture. And then you have to watch it all over again to find it totally different from the first time you watched it. Impressive.
It's old and it is impressive. It is even more impressive if you are aware that this movie was produced in 1939 and if you know how the movie-industry in the USA reacted on it. Chaplin made a true masterpiece.
This is an absolutely incredible film about a gay couple in modern Israel. Don't be turned off by the szenario, I am not gay myself and this movie still managed to "blow me away" ;) The movie does hit many aspects of the Israel-Palestinian conflict and does show it in a more or less neutral way. It is emotional, funny, sad, very very well played and complex enough to not only stay memorable but also will make you to want to watch it again and again. I absolutely love it. This is a must watch!
Well I expected it would be good and it was. It does not dig as deep as you could do, but it is touching and it is just fun to watch Freeman and Nicholson acting together on screen :)
A really beautiful lovestory.. :) There is not much more to say to it. The actors are good, the music fits, the screenplay is great and you should watch it with the one you love :)
I saw this twice, the first time I just was too tired to accept all this creativity at once. But then the second time was really good. I like all this thoughts floating around and forming different pictures. Great movie! Very poetic.
Well this picture is for me the best movie of monty python. Yea, I know, most people would not agree with me on that, but it is a poetic web of comedy constructed around life and death, so that you may get stuck in it and think about what they really wanted to tell with all this scenes :D For me this movie shows the meaning of life perfectly without ever spelling it out loud: laugh and be happy, enjoy your life while you can. It is something very precious and we should celebrate this instead of being miserable.
I saw this first at the cinema and it was kind of hard to follow this film if you do not watch it with all your attention. But if you do, then you see how well this film is put together. I like it.
well, it has a very cynical view on life. Of course it may be depressive as hell but well, it is told in a so cynical way, that I could not take it too seriously ;) Great ideas. I can't believe I missed this until now
This film is both very funny and very sad. It is well done and entertaining. Well this film is proof to me that you can still make good movies without any special effects and with mostly just a good script and ideas :)
one of my all time favorites.. al pacino really was great in this movie. They could have taken a better guy instead of O'donnell though. That whiny.. well I just don't like him.
nice cinematography, great idea with the music, good actors and deep emotions, that will pull you into this movie and leave you behind differently. Very impressive.
Eine meisterhaft umgesetzte Romanze mit wunderschönen Landschaften und tollen Hauptdarstellern. Beide Hauptdarsteller haben dabei etwas verschobene Vorstellungen von der anderen Person und auch von der Welt und finden sich dann irgendwo in der Mitte. Besonders gefallen hat mir das Ende. Also wer den Film nicht kennt: es lohnt sich wirklich, diese unbekannte Perle zu entdecken.
I think the sadest thing is, that most people watch vanilla sky first... the movie is really a masterpiece and does really not need any 1:1 copy with Tom Cruise.
I remember when I saw it at the cinema. It was very confusing with the time-jumps and quite depressing. Now I did watch it again and it is so well played and nicely contructed if you are able to really focus on the movie. Naomi is very very impressive and in 21 grams Iñárritu did still dare to show death as it is. Maybe reactions on this movie were the reason, why he did not let end Babel as it should have.. ;) :)
Well it is surely impressive, especially the switching between words and silence and the 1-shot-scenes that just cannot be made any better. Pictures and words will be stuck with you for a while. I'll have to watch this movie again.. :)
This is one of my favorite movies. It has charme, humour, drama and great ideas. The screenplay is very memorable and Bleibtreu and Khamatova did a good job as main actors. Khamatova especially because of her "glow", Bleibtreu because of his acting ;) All together it is a dreamy masterpiece. A must watch for everyone that likes unconventional movies.
Absolutely brilliant movie. Very colorful and creative. If you watch it again you may see lots of influences and connections you did not see at first. A masterpiece.
This movie does kind of remind me of the movie "forrest gump" or the quite more aggressive "Bad Boy Bubby". It is about a simple man with less intelligence than average that somehow manages to become extraordinary. This movie still is fresh (although it is already 30 years old) and the character is very likable.
Still I personally would have liked a change in storyline, I would have liked him to finaly say "I am just a gardener, I don't know how to take care of you, or money, but I know how to take care of this garden. Please would you let me take care of it, yes? That would make me very happy."
What is love? Well you will not get a straight answer to that of course, but it is a humorous movie about love, sexuality and life with great photography and dialog.
You will step into this movie just like a child does in this world. You will find it hard to understand the things you see. The whole movie is like a dream, mostly in a dark and evil way but still very innovative and deep. Very good screenplay.
Well, for me again one of the pearls that we western people almost never get in touch with. But it is a good story with very beautiful actors/actresses and with lots of sweet ideas that either make you laugh or smile, a good movie to watch together with women ;)
