The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006)
another excellent film by ken loach that tells is like it is
just saw this film in new york and though long, i loved every minute of it. the script runs a perfect circle throughout irish history by personalizing the story of a struggle for independence. i did found myself thinking of there was an analogy to be made with modern day Iraq i.e. a people's struggling for sovereignty. i realize the historical elements between Ireland and Iraq are quite different but the analogy of the US as invader i.e. england, is not.
top notch acting all around - cillian murphy is a great young actor that chooses great movies and is a pleasure to see.
go see it.
Mutual Appreciation (2005)
What the hell is the voice of a generation?
I don't know why people insists on labeling things (films, albums, etc.) like this. Can't we just like or not like a movie?
I really enjoyed Mutual Appreciation. If I had to judge it for its allegiance to my generation - which is zero, by the way - then I probably would find it lacking in many respects. but that is not why i rented it.
I loved the shooting, the editing & the acting. i thought the acting was great and natural with a touch of arrogance which went with its characters.
great job!
fun stuff.
