The Flemish Bandits (2018)
Ignorance and arrogance
In E7, at min. 31, instead of Gypsy language (Romani or any other name, I don't care) they sing in Romanian. Except the name, which is very similar and many times very convenient to some for this reason, there is absolutely no link between them.
Romani is the Gypsies international language (as gypsies are spread everywhere in Europe) and its origin is from India, while Romanian is a Latin language and official language of Romania.
I understand that the names can create confusion for low educated people. Folks pretending they are educated and that did a serious research for the movie, just show ignorance, superficiality and arrogance.
As a Romanian citizen I noticed this many times, so I'm somehow used to it. Every time somebody do this, it's not about Romania, it's about his/her level of education. Which we all know that it's lacking more and more, being replaced by the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Movie is OK, I gave it a 7.
Taksi bluz (2019)
Magic !
As I'm born in Romanian side of Banat, I grew up with ex-JU movies, music, tv channels and all. So, I'm inevitable nostalgic. But I'm also exigent. This movie is great. It has everything is expecting from a good movie done i Ex-JU. But, most of it, it has a soul.
Pig (2021)
Original theme. Nonsense script
As I have a long history of watching movies, I know to make the difference between a good and a bad one. You may be seduced by the theme, by the acting of Nicholas Cage, newcomers may find the script interesting, but there are only old mediocre ideas poorly reinterpreted. Overall, a C movie. I'm in minority ? I don't care.
