Oscar (1991)
The best film of Stallone and no mistake
this is the best Stallone-film! i don't know why this movie is rated so low! or ... i know why!
i've heard this movie was failure in the USA. it's not surprising. the average viewers' taste is horrible in the USA, so the viewers are lowbrow on average.
well, it's not an action movie, not a killer and bloody movie, but this movie is very funny and the actors and actress are brilliant! the typical American viewers didn't feel this movie, i think. this is like a play - you know, in the theatre - and this is like a typical European comedy. i think the viewers in the USA doesn't like the typical European films, and the European comedies. so, the average American viewers doesn't like this film.
i feel sorrow for the American viewers, because the feeling of this movie is fantastic, professional, and very funny! really funny!
Egy bolond százat csinál (1942)
A brilliant Hungarian movie
A brilliant Hungarian movie from 1942.
The main character, Latabár Kálmán is believed to be the best Hungarian vaudevillian of all time. The "Egy bolond százat csinál" is one of the best movies of Latabár.
The title in English: One Fool Makes Other Hundred. This is originally a saying in Hungary.
Latabár played two roles: a chief steward (his name is Dömötör - this is a classical Hungarian name, but not too popular nowadays, because it sounds very funny) and a world famous lion hunter (his name is earl Rog-Igor-Szu-Azerew - this is a coinage, unreal name).
They are as like as two peas, and Dömötör takes advantage of the commonality. When the lion hunter goes away to the shooting-party the poor chief steward (Dömötör) personates the wealthy hunter, and lives like a king. But, the real hunter pops in unexpectedly ...
There is a sequence when we can see Latabár in both roles - this was a big special effect in Hungary in the 40s!
In this movie we can see Benkö Gyula, Hidvéghy Valéria, Egri Mária, Rajnay Gábor, Árpád Latabár (Kálmán's brother), etc. - they were very famous actors and actress in that time.
The "Egy bolond százat csinál" is an indisputably perfect movie, a masterpiece and great fun. Required to the movie fans!
