Dogville (2003)

This film has power of clear Catarsis

[9/10 · 30 March 2024]

It turned out to be very interesting, it has its own depth. Unexpectedly received incredible impressions, without exaggeration. If you consider yourself a full-fledged person who always has room for development and likes to discover new things both in people and in yourself. The impressions that this movie will give you will be a real breath of fresh air and clean water - a novelty. MUST watch this "Dogville"

In the movie Dogville,

the dilemma and its morality are gradually revealed.

________________________________________________________

RE-UNCOVERING for more_:

The story of Dogville, clearly illustrates that a person can punish himself, instead of becoming a better person in this world, when time has came, and This settlement was his test of life, Which she Grace, could not overcome because of some of her harmful and immature beliefs or moral inability for responsibility and dedication.

The honesty and dishonesty shown on both sides, Grace - 1 side, and settlement - 2 side, assigned where and whose place in this world really is.

Will Grace belong to this settlement as a full or better part of it.

Here is the full answer, clarification_

If the heroine's feelings were sincere towards Tom, she should not push him away from her, but on the contrary become even closer, because from the very beginning she was accepted very well... And no one was in a hurry to do this. I did not wish her harm. First.

But then the following happens:

Tom, young Edison, whose father is a doctor, was almost the only decent person in the whole settlement of Dogville, kind to everyone, the most decent in Dogville society, who studied, loved and appreciated them all. And wished them the best., whose morality became and could become for everyone in this settlement, an effective example - the future.

And probably the best and only candidate for a marriage relationship with Grace... When, at one time, Tom confessed his feelings for her, she most likely did not reciprocate him. Although she clearly answers that she also has similar feelings for him, feelings of love.

If in that case, she didn't lie and she really had feelings for Tom, the best candidate and moralist:

• then she should become closer to Tom every day, not ignoring his feelings and needs, appreciating all that he did for her from the very beginning.

But instead, she, either by her own whim or stupidity, she did the opposite. And she only had time to wait for the time when everyone gradually began to turn away from her and demand more. And further. The first and subsequent rapes, when everyone just started using her.. as he saw fit.

And all because she had no additional moral protection that would work in the minds of the residents of Dogville. As would clearly see that Tom and Grace are together once and for all. That she is specifically under someone's care and protection.

And if her feelings were untrue and her words false:

• then, from this it follows that she (Grace) used Tom (and maybe he really wasn't the best on Earth, but.. still...),

but, with this lie, she used such an open person with bright and healthy principles, which means that she also deceived the entire settlement.

And having used like this, a person who could still become a better future, for the settlement, for her, for everyone. She reproached herself to the appropriate reaction.. And in response, this society, which she also used, punished her, gradually starting to ravage her already.

Morality, when someone uses a person with bright healthy principles, who is something good, almost the brightest of all, then with this, she destroys the pillar of society in which this person (Tom) lives and in which she herself (Grace) found herself. That is, it is like impersonating yourself and the one who helped you from the very beginning to the end, and tried to help you.

In response of universe justice, or law, the only thing she received as a reward was gradual contempt, which increasingly grew into an unjust punishment, but the only one naturaly law.

Thus, she received from those people a desrved relationship to herself. This society punished her, gradually, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, by her own actions, she personally allowed this society to do this...

The story of Dogville, clearly illustrates that a person can punish himself, instead of becoming a better person in this world, and This settlement was his test of life, Which she Grace, could not overcome because of some of her harmful and immature beliefs or moral inability, responsibility and dedication.

__________________________________________________________

ALSO more..Some another (my) point of view___:

"Young Edison, Tom, in the prime of his life,"

repeatedly helps the heroine Grace and supports her., but what happened later, not immediately and naturally., Yes. He fell in love with her. She reciprocates. Whether it was sincere on her part or not is really a question. But she answered. In a society, especially a small one, where the circle narrows, it is more noticeable when someone departs from generally accepted norms and traditions, there it is more strongly felt. And it is natural to adopt a new personality. In the case of Grace and Tom, their relationship did not move forward.. In other words, Grace had a great opportunity to establish herself in society. Thus, it would be better for everyone: society, Tom, her. Especially the main character Grace. Yes, she would get Tom's full protection. And all her efforts and efforts were valued. When already together with him as a young couple or family, she would not give any reason for anyone to think of taking advantage of her as it was shown., . And in a really wild society (at first glance so cute), which is only one step into the abyss of moral decay - at least some thoughts about the possible use of violence against her or a decrease in respect for herself as a person or as a person. But, on the contrary, I would be safe. And by artfully strengthening the relationship, thereby daily letting everyone around know about it, and demonstrating even in small things that she belongs to someone, with someone from their environment, especially after her engagement with Tom, she would become truly complete and accepted by everyone. In the long-needed and revealed feelings for Tom, she was important for the environment of people around her, who, on the contrary, treated her as a necessary part of society - the future. Thus, having a beneficial influence on yourself and others, having affirmatively received a full-fledged moral and psychological right - definitely not to be repeatedly raped by someone from outside.

But on the contrary - at least to be loved by her husband. HAPPY.

By me - (author M. S. Ya - Marksuatrom = MarkStromberg) also aka - QuasteinQ.

As always.

Irreversible (2002)

How thay can did it ?

[8/10 · 29 March 2024]

How did they manage to do it? I do not understand...

but I can explain some a lil! Or even MORE.. from my own point of view =)

STARting from 1st point and next:

This is probably one of the best gritty movies I've ever seen (and I have about 2 or only 3 max on my list).

And all thanks to the excellent cinematography/and/camera work, especially. And acting play +

The idea and production - everything is at the highest level. The picture and events, despite the specificity and complexity of perception at the mental and psychological level, are perceived by a moviegoer. Personally, I am an opponent of all violence., But there is also an instructive aspect in such cinematography.. Such a film is not for everyone, for understanding and perception, at least for the age of 30 + and this is no joke.

Therefore, if, for example, a young person (for such a film) is only 18+ with a small hook - it is advisable not to watch, or at least to rewind the most difficult scenes, _ there are 2 of them in this tape - as many as 2.

Although from the very beginning the topic is presented from a difficult point, some details/frames of episodic nature, not everyone is able to endure and are not left aside both emotionally and mentally. And the Way of showing the event by turning it back helps to see more and understand better, and closer to the end - it is more soothing, and even relaxing, for obvious conclusions. In some sense, this is the brilliant cinematography of those times - first of all, that's how it is.

Before watching, I expected that at some point I definitely wouldn't be able to stand it, because I'm not too hardy/not very mentally resistant to films of a similar plan/theme...

But this film became a special exception, thanks to the noticeably refined directorial and cinematographic work and the approach to the disclosure of all events in a balanced presentation that took on a more favorable form, which

in turn, gives the viewer a unique opportunity to be at the center of all challenges. Gradually returning closer and closer to the initial trigger and main motive. Explanations, Conclusions, and main Lesson.

Enter the Void (2009)

Who knows.. It can be...

[8/10 · 24 March 2024]

Who knows.. It's can be...

Ofcourse it's was an one uniq, and so refreshingly interesting trip

THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING IN THIS... Such operator works are quite rare. They have their own charm/characteristic and attraction... Probably, such slow cinematography (slow picture, process) is not suitable for everyone, but it is closer to those who have the stamina to pay attention in order to see something in it for their personal view and understanding. What can make this journey interesting to think about. With this, this film product will keep interest well, which raises the question, what the hell is this film about, and why was it all filmed!?

And oh wonder, everything becomes clear, until the very end. As a probable theory - it is possible - it is wonderful - it is wonderful.

Also, there is a certain excerpt from "Monstro" and "Requiem for a Dream" and even, in some sense(places), from "Odyssey 2001". This is a certain reference point for viewing.

In general, it was filmed interestingly, despite the slow pace of events.

YES, it is worth for Watchable.

Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)

as if a game designer created his own first debut film

[6/10 · 21 March 2024]

About Part One:

When I watched this tape, it was like playing a computer game, but without an interface (just pressing the "PLAY" button)

This film has its significant pluses and minuses. And it was even filmed with the soul, and it is felt... Overall, despite the mediocre specific cinematography/operator work, at first glance, at first, filmed allegedly and interesting enough (more interesting than the other way around) based on the story shown. But over time, you notice that everything is not so good, true connoisseurs and moviegoers will see under-processing/low imitations(falsificatio).

The plot is too sluggish and straightforward (although, appropriate involved here special effects, even a little somehow corrected it all), the script and the idea have serious potential, but still, along with the acting barely balance at the appropriate level to hold the whole story for sufficient perception, and the desire to (to) watch further.

There is a noticeable attempt to reveal the personalities of the characters and the main hero s/heroine s, although it turned out to be inferior in them*... Based on everything, this film product can be watched, and try to appreciate, without expecting something special for over-OVER expectations.

Although, indeed, it was filmed with a soul, it is felt.

Done.

Extinction (2015)

Just for the sake of play a little actress

[6/10 · 8 March 2024]

This movie is not aptly named, or, must be with add-name.

Only the little girl's performance (play/ing) at least somehow saves this movie to get at least some meaning/desire to watch it and watch it to the end. The idea is not new, but its presentation is noticeably different, atmospheric and unhurried. All the obvious potentials that are contained and could be contained are not fully revealed everywhere, even taking into account the low budget and all the obvious efforts to make this film, under such conditions, at least a little better... Therefore, as a result, some such - and "yes" and "No". To watch only, for the sake of the performance of a small actress in that atmosphere, and in a leisurely manner.

It Follows (2014)

Great Idea. . executed not enough

[7/10 · 4 March 2024]

Good acting........enjoyed it very much. But.

For now it's only - 1 (enjoy YOURSELf)

The main and only drawback of this film is poor executing/realisation. After all. The idea is quite interesting and original, to some extent even instructive... However, its implementation itself is inferior: the acting is at the appropriate level, but the plot is noticeably weak - its step-by-step and presentation, as well as a poor script, too illegible, insufficient, everywhere there are blanks and it incompleteness; Even the same filming: the cinematography is quite good, but the editing of the entire film looks like an amateur debut. As a result, the film's potential is largely neglected.

Some explanations of script actions were missing in places where they are needed. There are not enough corrections in the actions and filming before these actions. The transitions are edited too discretely and not coherently according to the script, when at least a little, but it had to be refined.. . In sense, when more for the sake of a full perception of the picture, (meaning) not for the discovery or understanding of the already obvious. . As a result, in fact, it is too weak and overrated modern cinema. But with a wonderful idea, plan. And only because of that, I can rate it at 6/10.

It would be nice to reshoot this film - this idea, because there really is something for it.

47 Ronin (2013)

47 Ronin. Rare beautiful adult fairy tale

[8/10 · 20 February 2024]

47 Ronins. A rare beautiful adult fairy tale framed in a realism ofamazing Japanese culture, manner, style, Life.. In which the revealed honor and dignity of a person becomes the eternal beauty of the soul.

/4_______________________________________________7/

The depth of thought put into many scenes, in the director's frame/mastery, impresses every time, as in the revealed so and not fully disclosed form, which in a special way beautifies this saga, and conveys subtly and very aptly all the sense of morality that precedes the events... It complements the whole story and actions with dignity in upbringing and morals. When the acting of each of the characters revealed the full potential of the idea of this noticeably (excellent) cinematograph. And the sophistication and beauty of the music fuels and sharpens feelings and impressions throughout the tape.

This movie is worth watching for connoisseurs of genre like this.

Shame (2011)

A valuable Moral Lesson in the end

[8/10 · 18 February 2024]

The film is worth watching, even if at first glance it is not so.. (easily pulls for 18 + but for 25 +).

A valuable moral lesson in the end. 4 ALL.

Without clear SPOILING but some opening of ideas :

The main moral of the fable is revealed. In the middle of all the searching for yourself in all possible lust, In main, don't forget about the most important thing in life and don't lose the biggest part of yourself - YOURSELF. And is it even worth At all of it... Also, to be able to provide basic medical care and have adequate facilities for this in a convenient/accessible place.

And even better, do not lead to any of these sins and tragedies, neither yourself nor others. To love relatives and not leave them alone in trouble.

Bury your selfishness tightly.

I think.

Unusually, a rather interesting and unique moment of the film is where the main character is sitting on the sofa watching some crumbling cartoon... There is something about it.

Siberia (2018)

Not everything is so bad. Perhaps Keanu,

[5/10 · 7 February 2024]

You can watch it once, but only for your own criticism. Not everything is so bad.

Taking into account such an ending, one feels a double context intersecting with reality.. (without revealing the backstage) .. Perhaps Keanu, with his presence in this "masterpiece" meant the same thing what was showed in the end, But already in the sense of an Actor, for an unfriendly cold in all senses Russia.

And speaking more about the film. It somehow looks like a manual for Americans: "how to secretly cheat on your wife by going to Siberia yourself" or "sex can be bad, but having sex with a diamond ring is even worse." ["but messing up with a diamond deal (hoaxdeal) is even worse."]

Don't Look Up (2021)

Great movie. Too realistic in all senses

[10/10 · 7 December 2023]

Great movie. Too realistic, unfortunately. Reflects modern society and humanity. Unfortunately.

From the beginning, it is perceived in a rather frivolous way, but - the further, all the irony with which it is permeated, is more and more filled with vital meaning and morality (lesson). Captivating with its eccentricity.

The performance of the actors and their selection made me incredibly happy. The complete transfer of both reality and surreality both on the face and in the actions (movements) of the behavior of each actor is a complete gift of talent.

Such films are always gratifying, from which you expect less, but they, in fact, turn out to be a modern bomb in the basis of edification and moral origins.

These are the movies you expect every time.

A frivolous film to in all seriousness.

Dominion (2014–2015)

More GOOd than BAd, but, without ending

[8/10 · 27 March 2023]

Unexpectedly very interesting series. And it's More GOOd than BADd, but without finish (ending)., and this is just one big minus of this cinema project.

Such a good comic turned out, which entered the space of cinema.

If you do not find fault with small errors, the series is perceived.

And despite the shortcomings, the further you look, the more interesting the plot twists. It is also interesting that the script in its minimalism is perceived more positively, adjusted for - primitive and ingenious at the same time., because, even in its simplicity, it is full-fledged, original and unique in its own way. And already looking at how this movie picture is honed, this script betrays from itself, everything that is required of it. Easy and understandable. As a result, this minimalistic scenario is sufficient (balanced) And if you do not find fault with not particularly important trifles, then this film is worthy of attention.

The main thing is that a person, when viewing, should not go too far with criticism, but simply watch the story as a human being ...

So, such a good comic turned out, which went into the space of cinema.

And therefore I wish you - to see it, because, despite the simplicity, it still has the main thing - the soul. I think that this series, in its balance & cinema beauty, takes its audience... Those who watched with soul and will watch with soul - understand....

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019)

I was pleasantly surprised and touched

[9/10 · 13 March 2023]

Personally, I was pleasantly surprised and touched by this film, than on the contrary, I watched it in one breath. A worthy continuation and conclusion to the series BRom BAriy - BReaking Bad., based on the character of Jesse, was released.

I didn't even expect such a wonderful ending, which is able to hook you to the last, that in the depths of your consciousness and feelings of understanding... even if it is so ambiguous.

1. Yeap, even if it is so ambiguous.

2. Oh, Yeap, even if it is so ambiguous.

3. But, Yes for me this endin is some special for understanding more of easy on fiest look things, So yes, - it is so ambiguous.

Breaking Bad (2008–2013)

Oscar in the point of S.4 Ep.4 (in Jesse's Home)

[10/10 · 18 February 2023]

In point at - (in Jesse's Home)- it is real OSCARisng episode __ for (BREAKING BAD). More info. Maybe little Spoiling: If anyone is interested in the topic, it is about the part in this series when Walt came to Jesse's house to find out if he left any evidence at the crime scene... And besides, that music in the background... in the balance it's Oscar winning episode.

Oscar in the point of S.4 Ep.4 (in Jesse's Home)

And if to say in general for the whole series: Although not everything in this film is very cool, it is beautiful, well shot and presented. But still, very vital and with the most open moments. When you watch a film and understand that you are watching someone's real life with all the life circumstances that cannot be ignored, from which the plot is further woven. It is very concentrated and at the same time balanced. That is, the filming and the actors' performances in a talented and balanced way cannot help but touch the viewer with their frankness and sometimes realism. When realism, it is more correctly presented situation. When the viewer is warmed up with curiosity about the environment and is shown by this environment that it is really alive and could be and is. And that's what makes the series so exciting... Those who have seen it and those who filmed this movie product will understand. Very big well done, well done. But in between, there are also miscalculations - a very frequent phenomenon in modern cinematography, when certain tangential moments in the script and plot are blurred. And unfortunately, this series also has moments with an unpleasant aftertaste. A very vivid example. This is a series with an air traffic controller, when the father of the girl Jesse, could not bear the death of his daughter, and made a mistake that led to the tragedy. In this series, as in the previous one, there was great potential for a full disclosure of the problem and what happened to his daughter, from the father's side. But the creators of the series, for some reason, sharply hushed everything up and did not allow these moments to be revealed. This spoiled the perception of possible realistic - and what it would be like in reality... This is just one example. But all the others are already more minor.. All these miscalculations find their place in this series, and they do not embellish it, but on the contrary take something away from it...

The Young Pope (2016)

Unexpected & Unappreciated

[10/10 · 11 September 2022]

The series it is worth viewing. Somehow I didn't even expect... A light presentation(submission) that opens fundamental topics that excite many people has emphasize this film with their exclusivity. There is a worthy operator work, the same production(setting) itself pleases the eye - everything is clearly, atmospheric and pleasant to the eye. In episodes, all dialogs, briefly and laconic are valuable in every word, accurately in the main thought. The plot, respectively, playful, with an unobtrusive intrigue inherent, which, in turn, being filled with exceptional accents, can fall into the very hearts Having reached the peak moment of his sincerity. To people who are not able to catch all the nested subtleties cannot and are not able to appreciate this film enough.. Everything else is at your discretion.

The International (I) (2009)

A little underrated Film

[8/10 · 20 December 2021]

In general balance, a good movie of your genre. By climax, in the scenario floods the surface thin and weighty (significant) morality. In some places, a wonderful operator work was pleased.

Also, liked how Clive Owen played his role.. he approached this image(personality) and He was well embodied in him. The implementation of the tape is intelligent, with nuances in the plot.

Unfortunately, sometimes smelling unpleasant bloopers (cinema-goofs) at the heart of logical decisions during action - in different critical degrees.

The movie more than you can watch and more with interest. Slightly underapointed (Unappreciated) A little underestimated.

The Bourne Legacy (2012)

Unreasonably underestimated...

[8/10 · 14 December 2021]

I really believe(suppose) that the ratings of this part are unreasonably understated.

Movie Shootings are made very balanced, noticeably when viewed - dynamism increases.

The operator's work of Robert Elsvit at a high level.

In general, the film is very interesting. The only, all dynamic of events compared to previous parts, is more low.

As a result - Good for viewing and even very well done.

Easily approaching the averaged 7-points.

The Bourne Supremacy (2004)

As always GREAT !

[9/10 · 9 December 2021]

Musical accompaniment and sound effects, as always at the height in "Bourne" , even for 2021 year..... Do not get tired of watching, everything seems to be in one breath ..

1-st film - "Identification of Bourne" - more perfection in movie sense from all created parts.

Van Helsing (2004)

Almost good enough

[7/10 · 8 December 2021]

IF it was unreasonably torn plot in different places, the more complete scenario on the binding to the no longer ripped plot that could be done more justified. Film would enter a row of top, even in our time. The brain is also embarrassed, all sorts of flashes, too stretched in the implementation of the picture, in terms of the possibility of occurring events (theory of probability and laws of physics).

The Mummy (2017)

Could be better. but. max - 6

[5/10 · 6 December 2021]

From me - 5

No intrigue in what is happening events was not felt - not served at a sufficient level (Considering level)., The plot is primitive and banal - does not hold.

The script does not follow a minimum - does not cling. Tom Cruise, as not in its plate - Grimas. Operator / Directory work, in general, as it were, as it were, not bad, but also In some places, tape, chromium critical misfirements and flaws, as well as and in the conditional action... (in one of the episodes there is almost full of beaten Stamp in Terminator-2-3 , even By the Resident Evil there are mini-version of the stamps ..) Special effects, against the background of the above-described - do not matter. Film failure. A hint, on a conditional continuation - 2 part, not important, given this 1st film already failing.

PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal (1996–2000)

Nice Idea + Great Joke

[8/10 · 30 November 2021]

My JOKE - will reveal some seen and understandable essence(meaning) from the viewed series - I share it for Free ! ! !

_ The witness argued that it was a real rain from frogs :

• - Frenchman, with a great joy would exclaimed, - "This is a blessing!!"!

• - American, - "Apocalypse!"! " _

Time Loop (2019)

Nice Debute Movie

[7/10 · 27 November 2021]

Personally, (In result), I liked this film in most of the distinct individual traits it has, although not in all.....

From first minutes immediately guessed that it was some debut try (I even subconsciously worried for those who filmed it...) And felt persistent endeavour in shoots - in a positive way.... Besides, I really like twisted plots about time and space, even if they are too complicated. .. But, nevertheless, this movie could have been even better. If there were not all kinds of defects which further might not confused more.. , So that, with ease capable of confusing even an experienced viewer (And this is about crashed the basis of logic, but still ...) ... Maybe on first look, it Not the best movie for viewing, but in the end, it is more suitable for viewing, then - NO.. And even, you can, with some interest, try to evaluate.... or underestimate.

Rellik (2017)

Underestimated. Really good intriguing tv series

[7/10 · 15 March 2021]

The British know a lot about non-boring TV serieshows. The plot and presentation are kept until the very end - sensibly filmed. The script, like the acting, is sometimes very pleasing. Perhaps he will not be able to pull up to the Oscar. But the ratings of it are clearly understimated. Underestimated.

Project: SERA (2013– )

That's a nice job. trully ! and Julia Voth mmm :b

[9/10 · 30 September 2020]

The young director/-stage director is talented, but he clearly lacks experience... The main character is gorgeous in every sense, and as an actress, the same;) I liked the script because it keeps in a mystery the key unrevealed moments that could have been revealed earlier, but at the same time it does not spoil the perception of what is happening and watched... And so, the film itself - clearly underestimated (both at that time * and now *) - is still more worth watching., Especially people of the old school of gaming, expecting a more modern continuation of their gaming views, who have partially or more even become already vital - this movie will be to your taste more... THERE ARE bloopers, (but in essence of the filed - they are forgivable, although a little bit and puffs up the eyes / convolutions...)

_my rate-is-?-9-10_

Volcano (2018)

Very beautiful and atmospheric film

[10/10 · 20 April 2019]

Almost an art-house movie.. very exclusive, even UNIQUE film with, a tendency to expand the world outlook to places that for us at first glance - from distant view* may seem typical for most ... But in fact the film reveals that there are no typical places where there are people who have their own life story shaping them - they also form the atmosphere that surrounds them .... So, at least I'm, can see this movie like this ... Also, what's most interesting is why this valuable product is something that can be disassembled from different angles, pushing away from the shown and expand potentially outlook on those or other things familiar to us, and life moments, and especially people who, in fact, have their own history and uniqueness, the atmosphere of which they are capable of impregnating in our outlook in a certain way ...

ALF (1986–1990)

Wonderful series of my childhood!

[9/10 · 9 August 2015]

I grew up on this fun and enjoyable show called Alf - Alien Life Form or Alien Life Family. A great idea that can not be interested in his positive outlook on life with this curious point of view ... And be sure to be interested in a positive person who had not seen the show.

This film product is able to love life from other points of its aspects. Opens world outlook and expanding it, and in the positive, fun features! All pleasant viewing! And thanks to everyone who worked on the show, especially the actors: Max Wright (great actor), Andrea Elson, Anne Schedeen and else ... Thank you gave such wonderful emotions. I wish you all good and happiness in life. Thank you all.

P.S. I'm 1986 year of birth ;)
