Being Napoleon (2018)
Vive Lémpereur!!!
As a kid i was really into books about Napoleon, the era and the battles. Later i came to understand the historical complexities and the impact this man had on Europe, in the past and now.
This great documentary shows the passion that is felt worldwide for this great man who is often falsely depicted as a man of small posture.
The actors in full accurate uniforms in our modern day life is sometimes hilarious. But their passion is real.
It becomes a battle for the title of Napoleon and my sympathies were very clear from the start.
Engaging, moving, funny and beatiful. a must see for history geeks like me.
Cartel Land (2015)
docu or film?
Editors note:
Almost always people comment on films on this website in quite a good way. So I never felt the urge to write/contribute something....
The film:
First of all I never wrote a review on this website before. And to be honest i don't think this will count as a review. Actually it was never my intention to write a review but more so to ask a critical question... Is this still a documentary? The quality of the images, the story and of the film in general are mind blowing! It gets you thinking and shows you the good, the bad and the ugly (pun intended).The story itself and the people involved are real, but in my opinion this is a reenactment! Staged, beautifully done but staged... The subject and the way they showed it is compelling, brutal at times, and it will get you thinking but I can't lose the feeling i watched a movie/film and not a documentary... Which is either brilliant or bad... Help me out, your thoughts pls.
