High Fidelity (2020)
What's the point? Just read the book or watch the movie
So you take a very good book adaptation (the movie), and just "adapt" every dialogue and the story ... Even the names of the characters BUT change the characters for politically correct new generation characters, withdraw all the rythm and originality, and extend 120 minutes movie, to around 350 minutes? I just stopped watching it on chapter 4 because: what's the point?
Eden (2014)
Worst editing and storytelling ever
Pick an interesting theme, nice music and beautiful photography and make it a sequence of boring sketches that take away all the story interest.
Music vs acting and story: I understand that the music doesn't need to express the scene feelings... But then it makes music something like a wall decoration ... It just happened to be there. Horrific.
A Star Is Born (2018)
Did I miss something here?
Please note that technically is a nice movie, I mean the sound and photography is nice. Bradley Cooper copycat Eddie Vedder so well in gestures and attitude (higher tone voice... but ok).. and that's it.
2 hours of nothing... And last 5 minutes of drama, I suppose.
Because the rithm, characters and story is really boring: The movie is about effortless way of getting to the top of music industry for a girl who was in the right place at the right time.. that's it. 2 hours of it. God.
You're comparing this "film" with an 8 as of today's rate to Fargo, Blade Runner, Black Swan, Tokyo Story, Jaws, The Big Lewosky, Annie Hall.. Are you crazy??
