That was an excellent one.
Let's be realistic.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
View MoreI found The Princess and the Warrior to be engaging and interesting but too long.Simone or Sissi was born in a mental hospital and she tells her love interest that her father is 'out there' as she indicates the common hall where the patients now congregate in the place she is now employed. This in itself could make one feel claustrophobic and develop a sense of dread. Sissi walks like she feels a sense of dread and she sometimes acts that way too. With good reason. Her life is one that anyone would want to escape and this is what she wants also.It is all interesting but the film is too long. Some of the scenes are played out way too long and I found myself becoming bored. I never want to fast forward through films but this one made me feel that way. I really believe that if they had trimmed this down and compacted it a bit the film would have better and made more impact. By the time the ending comes you find yourself feeling bubbly not because of what is happening on screen but because you know this film is actually ending. I say shorten it up and trim some fat and you've got a good film here but as is it's slow.
View MoreThis had a very good story and could have been a very good movie, if it had been directed by someone that understood that his audience needed to be entertained while watching his product or at the least kept awake. I was constantly dozing off with the pace of the whole movie. Everyone took an unusually long time before speaking their lines, as if they were trying to remember them. The scenes almost fit together but seemed to be lacking in continuity. Even the final scene is milked for an excessively long time. I presume that is in keeping with the central mind numbing theme to bore the audience out of its' mind. The scene where 'Bodo' is driving the car and sitting in the back seat watching himself is precious. I'm sorry I wasted my time.
View MoreThe first three-fourths of this movie is absolutely fascinating. It moves along seamlessly, hovering somewhere between reality and dream logic. The characters are fascinating and rather tragic, although the movie doesn't allow you to connect with them particularly.And then, well, something happens. A bunch of stuff is just sort of tossed in, weird plot points that come out of nowhere and the balance between fantasy and reality shifts radically to just plain nonsensical. The ending was particularly odd and unsatisfying. The movie neither ties things up nicely nor leaves you with an interesting ambiguity, it's more like it just sort of hiccups a few times and then just trails off to nothing.Still worth watching though.
View Morewell this movie captured me from the start to the end....well I loved it but I didn't like the post-modernistic scenes at the end...it seems that Tom Tykwer had ran out of idea how to end it......the last sequence was so out of the world he has been defining in the whole movie....this maybe look like a post modernistic view but its also one of the big mistakes in writing a screenplay.... overall I liked the cast and the characterization flow....it was damn perfect.....Franka Potente she played perfectly...I liked Tom Tykwer's way of storytelling...you could see some sequences passes by much slowly than the others.while Sissi was under the truck it seems the timeline goes by as for Sissi...but you could see the sudden events one after another on the chase sequence.
