The Movie Thread

It's not about your joke. You did a shitty thing some weeks ago. Never thought you could be so mean.

I'm not really mean spirited, just sick in the head. Sorry, I will endeavor to show more respect to all members from this moment forth! :angel:

I don't have a problem with your sick mind and I can cope with being the target of your mockery. But It just happened that you posted a really disgusting thing and I asked you....
No, I didn't ask you, I begged you to delete it but you ignored my request altough you knew I was hurt. That's not what a real friend would do. But it's probably hard for you to understand that behind a forum nickname there's still a human being......
Sorry :angel:

I don't remember that part. :confused: maybe a quotation in a PM will refresh my memory?>

Background

Long fascinated by Francis of Assisi, Roberto Rossellini decided to create a film that placed a person of the saint's character in post-war Italy and showed what the consequences would be.^[1] The film's sets were designed by Virgilio Marchi, a veteran futuristic architect.

Any comments?

Leviathan. Russian movie by Andrei Zviaghintev.

For the second time this year I went to the cinema to find out that the movie announced was changed. :s

Two days ago I jumped for joy to see that Fellini's La dolce vita was scheduled on my fav theatre. Fellini is my fav director and you can't imagine the crazy things I've done to see his movies. But La dolce vita is an old movie and I never got the chance to watch it in a theatre.

I'm terribly disappointed and my day is ruined cos I cancelled the usual activities.
I just feel an inconsolable pain......

Just saw on TV an old movie ( 1932!) - If I had a million. Really nice.

I'm happy because I finally can talk about a Romanian movie. A few months ago I've told you about Aferim! ( meaning bravo! In Turkish ) and I managed to see it today.
Unlike other films of the romanian new wave that present the last years of the communist regime or the modern period, this one is a historical movie, the action takes place in Wallachia in 1835. It's also a road movie, an old constable and his son are chasing a run away gypsy slave, they catch him and bring him back to the boyar who owns him. It's shot in black and white and the dialogues are full of archaic words. Many people complained that they couldn't understand about 30% of the language but I guess it's because they didn't read enough the literature of that period.:laugh: Anyway we had the alternative to read the English subtitles cos this copy of the movie was probably presented at some film festival.:devil: I noticed that the translation wasn't quite good, a lot of spicy ( to tell the least ;) ) words were omitted or simply couldn't be translated. That's a loss for the foreign viewer cos the dialogues are the best part of the movie, I simply adored the perfume of archaic language and the humour of the replies.
Unlike our other movies about that period this one is realistic, presenting us as corrupted, ignorant, mysogins, hypocrits, drunkers, fatalists, superstitious but still tolerant. And sad to say, we haven't changed too much since then.:s
As a conclusion I may say Aferim! to the director Radu Jude, definitely I should see his other movies ( if you remember, I saw some short movies a few weeks ago, one of them was his ).

Since the movie had English subtitles I honestly regret I couldn't watch it with some of you, guys. Definitely you'd have liked it, some for the way it was shot, some for its dirty talking. :laugh:
