La pianiste (2001)
Never forget the other side of the fence
This movie was moving , delightful , shocking , horrorifing , honest real extreme and nieve .
Any person that looks at a Gardner and never looks past the lawn mower ,will never understand it .
The music was brilliant the setting was real , the acting fantastic ! The difference between the different generations ...aged mother , the daughter taking the role of the father , the aged daughter coming to life and taking the role of a younger girl with a younger partner .. the games ....the ball of string unwinding ....
Congratulations ....
Yesterday (2004)
Yesterday
Yesterday was a wonderful time a wonderful day . Yesterday was a time of less knowledge as we know what we know today from yesterday . As a viewer from a western country ,watching the extreme isolation and the tribal affairs ...Yesterday is no different to today . Move the people move the setting .... and yesterday is today or tomorrow ... The movie makers are to be congratulated . The actors are to be celebrated . The helplessness is the same , the isolation is the same ..the feeling of being a leaper is the same . The untouchables looking after their own . What touches me most in this movie is world is not the perfect place we are told .People are not always the best ... but somewhere there is always a surprise . Yesterday was a total surprise . Congratulations
The Woodsman (2004)
What a movie ....
I found the movie and the content disturbing and yet riveting . The film makers and the actors need to be congratulated . This is an area of society as we know it ,that is never explored . The phobia Bacon goes through is one that any one with an addiction goes through . yet his is so real as he is .....caught .
An alcoholic does the same with a drink, looks ,feels , touches but does he taste the drink .. perhaps one sip ........ but society accepts that . Bacon asks when will he be normal ? What is normal ? Are any of us normal , are we ever normal . In the darkest corner hidden away do we have a secret ....perhaps not as a pedophile .In what we call society ... normal society .... will there be some time some secret that we want to box away ....... The telling part in this movie is the turning point where we wait for Bacon to re offend .......the huge twist is in the young girls telling of her story .....
What a compelling and yet well planned thought provoking piece of film making ........
Candy (2006)
Great emotion Wrong drug
The content was brilliant the drug of choice was confused with crystal me-th ............
Why in gods name do a movie on Herion!!!!!
when it could have been a cutting edge movie on "Tina"..
The call of emptiness was exact .
The use of camera lighting etc was all above average ... less Hollywood and more Europen.
Would have scored higher.
Ledger was the same Ledger in Broke Back Moutain .. an emotional void ...
This idea that Australian parents are trapped in the Sullivans is unnerving .....
The basic plot was good ...
All it needed was a push and it could have been brilliant
