Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
It had me on my toes the whole time
This movie is an overall picture of the relationship between man and women.
The movie starts with a couple going to a party. In the party, they both confront other couples and cheating.
This starts a sequence of events that teaches inexperienced Bill the many sides of sex while his more mature wife stays at home and tends their daughter.
The counterpoint between a prostitute and underground sex party is quite huge. But essentially both show the mysticism and rituals over the same theme. They both are essentially cheating or exploring what is naturally ours.
Tension. I have felt it through the movie. Maybe because the topics are quite sensitive. Taboo. Unknown.
Whose fault is it? In the movie we see both man and woman make mistakes and make up mistakes. The underage girl with the men, the secret party, all over the movie.
The movie gets little by little more psychological and spooky even. It's wonderful how we get the whole spectrum of sex from innocent flirting to HIV and death since sex represents life.
The buildup towards the end is immense. Nothing like I've experienced ever before. Maybe the guilt of Bill makes him make things more serious as they really are. And also what his wife experienced was probably not as serious as he thought. He made everything worse for himself.
A 10/10. Must see. Unique piece of art on film.
Das Boot (1981)
the best wwii movie
A picture about the crew who go the scariest mission.
As it's quite long, there is time to tell an in-depth story about a German submarine. The plot is just awesome. The pacing is to the point. I liked the characters.
If you like war movies it's a must see.
Boogie Nights (1997)
review
This movie really succeeds in giving many different views on one central theme.
The characters are absolutely amazing. Nothing like i've ever seen. You don't see such colorful cast nowadays.
It's just a really good overall view of 70s and 80s scene.
A must see.
Boys Don't Cry (1999)
Who am I?
This movie just shook me.
Even though I kind of knew what's going to happen in it.
The movie tells about people having identity crisis. Whether they are running away from their enemies or themselves nobody is safe from those monsters really.
It all could have happened in a big town but having the small village atmosphere amplified the feeling how remote and lost we are.
Even when the characters are having fun or dreaming, they show some kind of awkwardness or confusion. Nobody knows what they should do with their life.
The ending was quite an intense one. Everyone got what they had coming to them.
Even after 21 years, the message of the movie still persists. We are all lost, confused and scared. But we are not alone.
Bodigâdo Kiba (1993)
Miike boilerplate
This was a quite entertaining film. It's your average yakuza film. But a bit more Miike style. Comicy fighting and plot twists. Nothing too serious. Reminds me of Tintin as the characters travel around and every now and then there's some evasion.
If you're looking for high quality cinema that's for everybody, look it somewhere else. However, if you're a fan of Miike or looking for niche stuff, you're come to the right place.
Chinatown (1974)
Amazing film
I came back for some old charm and nostalgia and that was what I got.
A well-woven plot, good acting, nice pace.
There's action, romance, battle for power and thriller, but not too much. It amazes me how good taste they had with this one.
It's a masterpiece that is still one in 2020.
Catch Me If You Can (2002)
an unique title
Do you want to see a chase movie without the painful tension?
Do you want to cheer for both sides in a competition?
Do you want to feel amazed by every trick this young man has in his sleeve?
A movie about family, love, home and being accepted. I think that deep down, Frank Abagnale Jr. was just missing a family who support him and understand his true passion. All the moments in the movie when he was the happiest was when he was in a family doing what he can do best.
It was Carl Hanratty's talent to see through Frank's bluff that brought them together. I believe that Carl lied to him twice: about the French police and about his daughter which I don't believe he has.
Nonetheless the men respect each other.
Of Mice and Men (1992)
heartbreaking story
Story of dreams, friendship, love and hard work during the time when mental illness was not understood as well as it is nowadays. Curley's wife was the breaking point - a mixture of hot and cold in a kind. Chaos, as George predicted. She made the most tender creature turn into a violent machine even though both wanted the same thing.
All the characters in the movie just wanted to be understood. Not to be alone. The old man losing his dog, the black man separated in his room, even the villain, Curley, did not want anyone else to take his wife.
A must see for some beautiful landscape and detailed image on how it was in the countryside.
There Will Be Blood (2007)
Anticipation
A totally unique point of view to the oil rush era. Disturbing feelings and tension like I have never experienced before. Deep character building. Two and a half hours went really fast with this one. 10/10
Da 5 Bloods (2020)
foo
This movie brings me a new point of view to the Vietnamese war. Actually, a few of them. It discusses many themes using the stories of 4 Vietnam war veterans along with their dead comrade and other people involved.
That is also the weakness of this movie - it's a mishmash of everything in one movie. It isn't as solid as I would liked it to be. The pacing is numbing at times.
Considerable pros are the beautiful scenes and good music.
It's a 6/10. I'd never watch this movie again unless I learned something new about its meta and wanted to come back for that reason.
Toki o kakeru shôjo (2006)
One of my favorites as of today
A full spectrum of emotions, vivid colors and fleeting moments.
Time is a fundamental. Time does not wait for you. We have been always wondering, what could happen if we could bend time to our will and repair the past events to our liking. No wonder it will cause logical problems and other events that were not evident to us.
Portrayed in a single day (?) of our main character's life we get to see several alternative truths when a person from the future meets a person from the past and they share a summer together.
There were some truly heartbreaking moments combined with the sheer joy of being young and everything related to that.
I gave this movie 10 out of 10. It did not have any obvious or otherwise boring plot twists in my opinion. What I learned in the end was that we should take our destiny as it is, and thrive to preserve what's valuable in the future as well. A true gem.
Lucy (2014)
Last 15 minutes are worth watching the rest of the movie
I am happy I didn't follow my instinct to quit this after the horrible first hour. With all its second-class action movie plot in the background and not so good CG the major part of the movie did actually build quite a good momentum for the surprising end.
Some very interesting philosophical points were given through the movie, some very discretely and some not. All of them led to quite good portray of life. I personally did find some references to the evolution and rise of AI. Especially the pace of the AI revolution may match to the one in this movie.
If you're looking for an action movie, this is average. If you have a taste for details, be careful. In the end you will be surprised as I was!
