Don't Breathe (2016)
How difficult is it to distract a guy who tracks sounds
Note that this review contains spoilers.
I probably would have enjoyed this movie, however as any one who has enjoyed any movie knows... you want the movie to be realistic.
I'm not one of those who are stuck up about loop holes in movie scripts, but I do expect the plot not to be easily figured out by me or else it will bug me through the movie.
The plot of this movie is that this blind man tracks the sound(s) made by these invaders of his residential domain, clearly he is very attentive to the sounds they make while they move about his house and they are not oblivious to this as they repeatedly suffer the consequences of providing him with sounds made by their movement which he follows, beating and butchering them.
On the other hand, all about them litter loose objects and tools with which they could toss to an empty part of the house to distract him from them. Also tools abound with which they could quietly incapacitate him. The only thing is, they never even try to do this. Instead they keep on leading him to where they are for his vengeance to easily find them and mete out maximum punishments on them.
This could definitely have been an interesting ride... but alas I enjoyed it not.
Winnie (2011)
The key problem with this movie
I am presently watching this movie at the moment. I must say I am extremely surprised at the flawed costuming of this project. This is a movie chronicling the life of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, a woman who was born in 1936. Yet from the very start of the movie(which starts at her birth), you notice immediately that they lost it on the costumes they used as they do not depict the kind and quality of clothing worn in a 1936 South African village. For one the clothing used are really really bright and very 2011 fashionable. Regarding the styling, you can clearly tell that they probably could not produce them that way back then. They also look too bright and flashy much like modern apparel. In certain scenes you see that the ties worn by the guards or police officers looking really modern day and therefore really makes you struggle to believe the events were actually occurring when the acting tells you they were. Talk about the wedding dress used in Winnie's wedding, it just looks out of place time-wise. So even though the acting is good, I feel that the strength of the acting was much suppressed by this flaw. It really would have been better if they had down toned the colors a bit but unfortunately they did not.
