A Man Called Otto (2022)
Can't stop watching it!
Its about Otto, the man that just lost his soulmate and love-life. Like any of Hanks' movies, The movie typically resembles the American dream: small neighborhood, cosy relations, American patriotism and Hanks visionary talk and performance. What makes Hanks' movies loved is the dreamy pace of it; calm streets, colorful shiny cars and landscapes, semi-theatrical performance, soft criticism, and respect to the American civilization and the American army, bit highlights on deviations are made too. Hanks way is fading despite it is widely demanded and watched, his films are like soft breeze in a hot summer day. I live him and will definitely not stop watching films like OTTO. Love and respect 👍🏼
The Killer (2023)
8 for Fassbender
Michael Fassbender should never stop acting. I very much appreciate Fassbender's discipline sticking to his line of acting. Philosophical and charismatic at times of void action. The guy turned a simply shallow action movie into a mysteriously taking one through waiting for his next move while kills in cold blood not allowing his thoughts to weigh him down. Wished if such perspective was applied in real life to save and impose good manners! The film is artistically fine interms of only Fassbender's acting. Netflex is known for medium art it creates for fast consumption, but this time it managed to bring a good talent that will make this film last and honorably added to Fassbender's filmography.
Don't Worry Darling (2022)
Critical and eyeopening
Although I got sick from the first half of the movie as it depicts that kind of utopian lifestyle, the second half made me continue watching. Woman, she's the key to man's mental failures. In other words, the film embodies man's perfectionism and how he tries to involve woman in his illusions. Nevertheless, woman resists, revolts and turn it upside down.
I very much like the concept, and when I finished watching researched the crew and found out that it was directed by the same director of Her and other movies. Olivia Wilde is really visionary, and whether or not we lined up with her vision, we gotta salute her for thinking and developing a vision in an poor-visioned world.
The Adjustment Bureau (2011)
Love and capitalism, don't mix
A real masterpiece beautifully blended. A courageous mix between the forces of reality and imagination to surface the dilemma of the current form of capitalism. Love is really dangerous and stumbling to the prosperity of lust to more power. The more needed and missed love is, the more lustful to power to remunerate the missed part of us only love can fill. No wonder that the choice of either love or power is fatal, so that we either choose love and therefore represent our real and humane needs, or opt for power and be a tool and small-time-enforcers in the hands of greed. Love makes us real and genuine, while power makes us lustful for more of it, eternally.
Jagten (2012)
The other side of the story
Well, another film with more facial expression and fine acting. Social drama of everyday life; a drama we direly miss among the deliberate excitement of Hollywood.
In this Danish film we encounter and witness the efficacy of Hollywood lies. We see how the restless efforts of implanting rubbish in the human mind have really worked, not only with adults, the ones that have believed the little girl's story and demonized the innocent man; but with the little girl herself, whose imagination has been spoiled and was given a green light to think evil.
A simple situation if seeing her brother and his friend looking into porn images of penises and lustful women has triggered the little girl's imagination to kiss her kindergarten teacher on the lips and accuse him of showing her his penis!
Could anyone have imagined how it all started and do something to acquaint the poor man?! The answer is simply no. It not easy to expect the behavior and predict the causes. I hear you whispering it that the human mind has been spoiled.
One can write many article analyzing the implicit gestures of the movie, but I'm contended to have lightened a small candle that may grab your attention to the serious damages the American culture can cause to every human society.
Valkyrie (2008)
Side but important notes
Myself would give Valkyrie best picture, best performance, best music, and best photography prizes. However, the moviemakers abandoned important aspects that, should've been considered, the movie would've gained more prizes and drew more respect.
From among these aspects I pick the one that belongs to realism. From the moment the film started, there was an atmosphere of negligence and indifference; an atmosphere that collides with the state of alert Hitler's security forces have been adopting to guard his state and his regime. 1944, with Hitler almost losing his war against Europe, and with him and his caporegimes anxious and alert, I think and highly recommend the possibility that it was not easy to assemble and move that free, enter apparatuses and plant bombs without anyone raising an eyebrow!
The moment from which the film started presumes a previous knowledge of the audience how the protagonists of the coup have been planning to execute it. In addition, the film has maximized the small scene that includes the coup performers without putting the audience in the larger scene of Nazi Germany and that of Adolf Hitler's. The filmmakers apparently have depended on music, picture, and performance to fill in the gap, in vain!
Operation Mincemeat (2021)
Broken record
Brits keep shocking me with repetitive nationalist tone! It is apparent that the heroic esteem their movies try to establish is claimed and alleged! Getting into the chest would really hurt the British nationalist self-esteem!
Nevertheless, the script is awfully complicated and rhythm is monotonous. It is clearly apparent the Mincemeat, the operation, is a small intelligence victory Great then Britain has scored against Nazi then Germany. However, it was presented poorly, unless the British wanted only to reiterate their supremacy in counter-intelligence, a piece if info I can neither suppirt nor deny. However, that also failed to be conveyed by the movie makers.
My advice to my fellow British movie makers is to develop and smarten their way of consolidating their nationalist self-esteem and counter-intelligence supremacy.
Burden (2022)
An ordinary movie, just like us
This genre of movies, it is just depicted to draw our attention to the fallen details off our memory. No superpower and no superhero; just an ordinary life if everyday people we encounter. Striking on the right path, hopefully we see more of the same.
