The Masterpiece
19 January 2014
I was amazed to see that there was not a clear 10 rating for this movie . This will be the first . From my point of view, after watching many movies directed by Lars Von Trier, this might be the best one . It is several levels above other movies which will take dozens of prizes and acclamation . The first layer which attracts people is sex , but this is only the fly (see first chapter in the movie) which will try to catch u to see the rest. Sex is only a means to open the box full with human feelings like solitude, emptiness, self hatred, egoism all seasoned with a lot of irony and links to music , poets and manners like eating pastry with a fork . I like to believe all this details are close to Lars Von Trier and like Tarkovky's library they represent a part of his life and feelings

In the end, I consider a piece of work (book , music , movie) a masterpiece when the author puts his feeling inside , when he "writes it with blood". I think here LVT gives us his soul and that makes the difference between a good movie and a 1 in a thousand movies .

Gravity (2013)
5/10
Best SCI-FI movie ??
8 October 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I feel the need to share a different view about this movie . I went to the theater expecting to see a mind blowing movie, as all the reviews and marks indicated . Instead, I saw a linear plot, with a 100% typical character for Hollywood movies . It's not bad from a visual perspective . It is not bad for a commercial movie which does not have to say anything new compared to hundreds of movies done before this one. Unfortunately it is just that: a decent visual commercial movie for popcorn eaters . The spoiler alert is marked because there is nothing to spoil :D , it's the plot u saw again and again and again in countless movies . What Gravity delivers is so much lower compared to "2001 a space odyssey", from where he borrowed some nice tricks .

My grade for the movie is 5 due to the fact that is not even close to what it's supposed to be.
