Little Fish (2005)

well...

[3/10 · 20 December 2006]

One of the users whose review I have just read wrote that he/she really wanted to like the movie... I had the same problem... Hugo Weaving whose amazing performance in V For Vendetta I saw just before,Cate Blanchett who is always worth watching and admiring, Sam Neill... And a trailer that intrigued me, promising an interesting story... Yes, yes, I know, I am naive... never judge a movie by a trailer... But I just couldn't help it... it reminded me of Me and You and Everyone we know, a movie that I really really liked... But, after watching Little fish, I felt nothing... Maybe a bit of confusion, because I wasn't sure what to think, after a movie that gives you nothing to think about... I felt empty, and sorry for the time I spent watching it... A movie with no story... I felt sorry for those great actors... They deserve better, cause they always give their best. So I have no objections to their job, brilliant as always... But that is definitely not enough to make me say this is a good movie...

V for Vendetta (2005)

There has been quite a while since I last enjoyed the movie this much... despite it's length it kept me fully interested in the story and it's development to the very end. It is an intelligent, emotional and exciting fiction that slightly reminded me of Orwell's 1984, and I'm probably not the only one. I don't like to find political connotations in movies, so I wasn't trying to look for parallels with political situation today. I think it would ruin it. I must say Hugo Weaving pleasantly surprised me again, and yet proved he's a brilliant actor, a master:) The rest of the acting crew also did an excellent job, just as the director, music composer, special effects team, costume designer, and all the others that were involved in making the movie... I simply don't have any objections to it... so it is left for me to conclude that V for Vendetta has all ingredients necessary for a great movie:) Well, I won't write anything more, I will let that to those who know it better, because it's their job... and their language...:) I will simply add: People, watch this movie, it is worth your time!
