Le monde du silence (1956)
Le Horror du Silence
We watched with such glee the later Cousteau's of the 80's from our thrift find dvd boxset. Each night an episode, until the last dvd we realized that it was not an episode but the movie!
And as the movie progressed we watched with lot's of uneasy questionmarks (all of the harrasing and destroying) and finally we just watched with plain horror (all of the slaughtering)...as the other reviewers have described the scenes, it is insane to witness this. What was this man doing that we watched with such pleasure..? Our scientist and animal/nature-lover was not so scientificy and not so lovingly to say the least! We were dumbstruck. How a man can change? From bombing a reef to making sure his anchor is not going to damage or hit the reef in any way.
People say: "You have to see it in that time". Or that it still serves education, that is true in a way. It really shows how dumb we were back then. I think we had enough Cousteau's for now.
Legends of the Fall (1994)
Beautiful scenery, messed up time line
I have read many reviews on this movie, looking for someone who was as annoyed as me about the timeline. I think alot of the reviews explained the film beautifully about this long predictable shampoo commercial.
But what annoyed me the most was the time line... Susannah is supposedly going to wait forever, well forever is i guess just less than two years? Tops?
Tristan will not be home for many years, many winters. Yet, when he comes back Susannah married a couple of years ago and his father had a stroke many years ago... but then Susannah writes him in 1921 congratulating him with the birth of his son? What? Meaning marrying and 9 months of pregnancy including etc. he was just gone 2 years maybe ? Am i missing something ? He wrote Susannah in 1918 to marry someone else? She did just that? Isbell supposedly just grew up in 2 years? I have many questions.
It was like they had to have him back in time to include he would become a bootlegger.
The scenery is so beautiful but all i was thinking was about this weird timeline.
Love, Death & Robots (2019)
Raving reviews
From Russian Doll to this, a solid 9 ?
I feel tricked with all these one-liner reviews, what is going on with the ratings on IMDB?
Where are all the reviews that explain why a movie/series is great, not that Jesus died for this show and you have to see it just "because of reasons".
8 episodes in and my eyes are glued to my telephone, figuring out why this show is a 9! And #26! If i look down that list, how can any of these shows be inferior to this?
I do appreciate the creativity, wich it has. The animation is great but that doesnt make it that, what ever happend to great writing? Dialogue? Is it out of style ? Am i getting old ? Why are robots cursing so much?
The idea is great, different episodes in different animation styles. It is just not really consistent, especially when the episodes are short -o wait some nudity-
Well maybe i am just becoming an old fart but i just had to give it some critique in a sea of 9's and 10's, because of reasons.
The Last Man on Earth (1964)
Be warned
I have been on imdb for ages, reading all kinds of reviews in my movie search. This is the first time i ever wrote a review.. it's that bad.
First of all, the whole look of the dvd gave me such a thrill to want to see this ! But it just resembles nothing in this movie..
After reading the book i coudn't wait to see it, it worked so well on my imagination, i was instantly hooked. And i feel so bad for reading all these amazing comments here, praising this film.
The acting is so bad and scènes appear so clumpsy and rushed. It felt i was watching a local theater perform with such little emotion. I was bored out of my mind and heard myself grinning at this old sillyness.
In my mind this man from the book seems so well organized and full of emotion, rather agressive on the whole situation. But it almost looked like they sometimes just thought; just throw some lines/scènes from the book in there. These vampires can just be shoved away, making them not scary at all, moving so incredible slow. Nothing like hearing lurking creatures, staying all night doing anything to try and get you...
They just randomly swing around a piece of wood against the wall...impressively scary i must say!
Just to inform you, don't be fooled with all these raving reviews. Watch with buddies and laugh, but seriously? No.
