Les aventuriers (1967)
Wish we were there.
It's is hard to say anything about a movie like this. The previous commentators almost told everything. Let me share you just some extra thoughts.
This film is about freedom. If you have not seen it, maybe you do not know what freedom is, and how it feels to be free. It shows a world that will not come back any more, and we can not be sorry enough for that. Something has gone. Something, that is present in each and every moment of this film. When watching it, you will feel short of breath, and that the room is not large enough.
You will not forget the name Laeticia any more, and wont forget the song about her. Her death (I think this can be said) is the most tragedic one of film history. Incredible, but so simple. I'm a strong man, who never cries, but this is a moment that I can not resist crying.
Her funeral is a memorable moment. I can suggest to everyone to see also Luc Besson's Big Blue, and compare Enzo's funeral to Laeticia's. That is Monsieur Besson's salute to the makers of this film.
Resident Evil (2002)
Terrible!
I like horror movies. GOOD horror movies. But in the name of those who have not played the game i can not recommend this film. I almost fell asleep. The whole thing seems to be a pure money-making try. No real effort in it to make it a real MOVIE. Each and every second of it is stolen from somewhere, which can tell much about the attitude of the makers for the expert. Well, I have seen very good re-makes, so this does not mean anything. This could have been a good piece after all. But there should have been any concept in it, and not only cliches. I guess the audience of this film is the players of the game. Those who are very sensitive of logical errors. Well, I lost counting somewhere around one hundred :) OK. It could have been a good movie even with these errors, if the makers had anything to do with suspense. Not only up and down, up and down, monotonously. Fingers appearing on the screen is NOT a terrifying moment. If they make one of it, they destroy the suspense in the film. And that is what they actually did, throughout the whole film. Should it be just a little bit worse, I would have left the theatre at halftime. Yes, there are some good points as well. But miss Jovovich's beautiful body wrapped in a tiny piece of cloth or some good songs can not save the film. This is a failure.
Please forgive me for my poor English. I hope you could still understand what I am to say.
