Prenom carmen

Image
    This title made me think something quite serious . Instead this story is something very carzy and awkward in any case. From the very first a woman who;s name is called carmen advises us that she could not prefer to be called this way Indeed in tis movie we see Carzy focus on people being talked instead   of the takler   The producer acting in his movie as a patient in a madhouse (nothing special but   his stereo playing some carzy sounds ) People doing carzy moves inside his house Gun fires for nearly no reason with fortunately limited spoiled blood (no tarantino ) Classical music a bit untuned played in between   with sudden stops as also other sounds   in the start of the movie Some unnecessary nudity or   partial nudity in many scenes. I have nothing with nudity   For me this movie has a ‘no plot scenario’ or what is called in Greek “I write everything my brain storms”!     One of the funniest and mo...

Cities of last things 幸福城市 (no review)

  source : wikipeida Before reading anything on this movie I didnt noticed that there  are 3 different stories est in 3 different times  going backwards ie from future to past! In other words it shows First story is shows  a man around 60  years of age living or taking the futuristic bus in  the streets in a Chinese town, gong into a socially underground district to find  a woman in a brother  who gives her a gun. Some one tells him to divorce his wife. In the bus we see some technology with glassy tablet over the rear part of the seats .This is a   marginally interesting and boring story with a relatively slow pace. A few intesting things of the futuristic part: -Something as LED under the arm -`Glassy'   tablets in the bis chairs -Mini robots -Serum of juvenility in a commercial Second part shows the same girl stealing from supermarkets and other shops because she is kleptomaniac as she advised the policeman as she noted late...

Dangerous beauty :commnets

    image courtesy :Netflix This is a movie that soon would be removed   from netflix’s servers . as shown in imdb is is an old movie just before 2000 and based on a novel. Information shown that dialogues is also designed by author.   This is the reason that the dialogues are made very well I was deeply impressed with them. This reminds me also the story of Cassiani   a well known Greek woman of the 9 century who has the most characteristics of Veronica the main character . The main difference is   that tough veronica continued living in the community Cassiani left in the monastery and became a saint. Veronica pepperly dressed and maquillaged is looks as like a princess. Story is Located in Venice a city with women inferior to men living as slaves Worth to mention dialogues are also full of impressive quotes many of them will be foundin the imdb page Another nice example was the verbose war with another courtier of the palace who sung nice erotic ve...

The assistant : opinions on a malay movie

Image
  One again to my interest to Malaysia and its culture after Mt Kilau last month   and around a handful of movies long ago. As shown, this is new release this year produced for Netflix. If I can write something in short its simple: an interesting but very violent and blood-y movie with lots crazy fantasy scenes. Getting now into some analysis : I know some little Malay and could understood around 10% of what told but Greek subtitles greatly helped me. A good way to tst and learn a bit of the language live.   This is the story of   Zafik or Just Fiq as many times noticed in the movie. He was unjustly imprisoned He is a calm but legitimate but poor civilian. After being released he aimed to get revenge against anyone involved to get him imprisoned (for trafficking   drugs) His aim is to get informed who and why killed his family. His older close friend a suddenly rich person welcome him   in his company to work for him but .. In the mean time Fe...
