Apocalypto (2006)
Expected a bit more:-(
I just saw the movie yesterday, and to be frank I expected a lot more. Maybe Im just too stupid but I just didn't get the point. Allow me to make it clear. First of all the trailer, title and every pre-comment of the movie was telling us that the movie is about the end of a civilization. I haven't seen anything like this in the movie. There was that one tribe attacks another and they make human sacrifices. So we're watching like half an hour at the beginning as they are captured, another half an hour while they are taken to the other tribe, then a another half an hour expecting for some kind of miracle to happen, and the last hour of running in the jungle. Second thing, if someone goes to watch the movie, who hasn't got the proper knowledge of American history, how should one know which civilization are we talking about in the movie? And then at the end Columbus or who comes on the shores and that's all, but what does this have to do whit the destruction of a civilization? I mean OK, the evil tribe was killing all the others,but they still went on living in this very evil kind of society they were living in, but there just wasn't a word about its end.
Hostel (2005)
A bit funny but OK
First of all I have to say that I come from Slovakia. So lets deal with the movie first. Its really hard for me write something original now, because I read a few reports above, and while at the beginning everyone was caring about the main characters and everything, I have to say I was laughing my ass off on the first half of the movie. Lets ask some important questions first. Why do they talk Czech on the train station when our heroes come to Slovakia? Why do they talk Czech in the TV at the Hostel? Why are every signs on the walls in the streets in Czech? I mean come on, there ain't an actual word spoken in Slovak in the whole movie. Well maybe in the disco the music is Slovak, but thats already 20 years or more old songs. My parents used to listen to that music. At the beginning the Dutch guy tells them that this place is near Bratislava and it is true that Slovakia is on the border with the Czech republic, but shouldn't they have explained in the movie,like: "look there's a hostel near Bratislava the capital of Slovakia, but the hostel is in the Czech republic?" Another thing, obviously the movie was shot in the Czech republic, believe me I know my country and that just wasn't Slovakia at all. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to dis anybody and I am not saving my countries reputation, its just good to have some things made clear. The scenery gives us very raw images of central Europe, but thank God its imaginary. The places don't actually look like this in reality. Nevermind, these kind of things happen once in a while.
JFK (1991)
It opened my eyes
I have never seen a better movie in my entire life, and believe me I HAVE SEEN A LOT!!! It just opened my eyes. You cant put in words. Just the best of the best. Flawless, Perfect!Thats all! I mean,lets just talk about the cast at first, shall we? Comeon, the only person I haven't seen before in a another movie was perhaps Silvia O'dio. Putting the Hollywood's finest in one really long movie had to have a lot of courage. Well maybe not in those days, but today its too risky. Then lets take a look at the plot. Just as I said, perfect and flawless. The camera work is amazing, never seen anything like it. Comeon just from the short "cuts" which appear in the movie you could make a whole night production. If haven't watched a hundred times than never. Best of the best!
Oscar (1991)
Absolutely fantastic
What I like about this movie the most is, what very few people recognize. The art in a gangster comedy movie. You must have noticed that this movie is actually a theater role play captured on film. The scenes and scenery are made as if you were sitting in a theater and were watching a role play. Sly plays just great. Doesn't really have to act to much, but its great to see an action hero making jokes than blowing up buildings. And putting Chazz Palminteri,one of the biggest gangsters of Hollywood in the role of Connie the most stupid of them all was an amazing idea. Too bad I have only two hands because I can give only 2 thumbs up, otherwise it would be definitely more:-)
Snoopy Come Home (1972)
Beautiful yet very disturbing
When I first saw this movie I was like 3 or 4 years, and I thought of it as one of the greatest adventures in the world. But after a short while I realized there are many sad parts in it, especially the good bye party. I'm 21 now, and I'm still watching this movie over and over. I found out that no other cartoon has as beautiful loving parts filled with love as this one, but on the other side it is one of the most negative cartoons I've ever seen.
Remember, right at the beginning Charlie Brown cuts his hand and is yelling at Snoopy. The other day Snoopy is very drastically fighting with Linus over a blanket(?). Next he goes boxing with with Lucy, ends up with a shoe in his face. Then we see as Lila is in the hospital, very sad music under it. Then Snoopy is thrown out of the beach because of the NO DOGS ALLOWED sign. He runs away from home to see Lila and meets this little girl who wants to keep Snoopy and Woodstock. Turns out to be a freak and beats Snoopy because of the tea SHE spills out on his dress. After they try to run away she takes Snoopy to the Vet where by sounds we can assume some pretty bad things happening. Meanwhile Charlie Brown is really sad. Snoopy gets to the hospital after a journey full of NO DOGS ALLOWED signs. Snoopy is hesitating with whom to stay Lila or Charlie. Snoopy goes home to say good-bye to his friends which is the saddest part in the movie. Snoopy goes to Lila and while leaving his Doghouse with the "For sale or to let" sign on it Woodstock runs after him crying while we can hear this really sad song in the background which later Charlie Brown is singing in his deep depression. This is the last sad part in the movie thank God, because when I'm watching it I cant manage to watch the whole movie with dry eyes.
Thus the movie has VERY beautiful and happy and lovely parts in it. One of my favorite parts is when Peppermint Patty and Charlie Brown are at the amusement park and are talking about love and Charlie touches Patty's hand.
This movie has marked my life for a lifetime positively and negatively. When I'm sad I just think of how Snoopy begins to laugh in the library. No wonder I always get upset when see somebody kick someone in the leg like Snoopy did to Linus,etc.
I would recommend this movie to everyone because its beautiful, but warn children with weaker soul( I just cant find the right expression), because it can leave serious marks in a child's life. You can never get enough of this movie.Its brilliant Its beautiful yet very disturbing.
