Gitarrmongot (2004)
I'm not really sure why i like it.....
I think this movie is kind of hard to rate because it is so hard to compare to other movies (wich is something i kind of like in itself). The narrating style is very open and the storyline or kind of lack of storyline makes it a very different film from what at least i am used to. I must admit that i am not sure what the director is trying to say with the film but.. do you really have to understand that when a film reach you in another level. The "main" characters in the movie are people you usually find uncomfortable to be around or even annoying. At the same time I found these feelings mixed with sympathy and sometimes pity. Watching gitarrmongot kind of "makes you" take a look at the people you usually pass by while looking in another direction. I do recommend it to anyone who think they can watch it with an open mind. If you just want to be entertained for an hour and a half and not reflect over the movie you probably are better off with something else. gitarrmongot is a movie that i will remember and that actually might have changed my views on the world if only for a tiny little bit or at least it made me think about this subject for a while.... for that I'm giving it a 9/10
2009 loseuteu maemorijeu (2002)
Fairly good looking but still a B-Movie...
I thought the first few minutes in 2009 had potential but very soon the story turns in to a cliché filled, below average b-movie. The details that annoys me in this film are so many that i can't count them all. I'll try to give you hints to what kind of film it is without giving away the story.
1: How's this for an alternative time-line... the Germans had the main character of this story on the beach of Normandie with a submachine-gun and one clip...
2: Why would a Japanese national agency have an English name (JBI.. my god..) and a graphic interface on their computers that makes the HUD in any computer-game look like the first version of donkey kong.. (not a big thing but it's just an example... )
3: When you hear violin music in a gunfight it's OK to stop running and shooting...
4: "OK guys: If someone is about to make an important kill everyone stop shooting so we can hear the empty shell bounce.."
I could continue on and on but i think you get the picture..
It is impressive though that they singled out a credible event that could have changed history.. it seemed like a good movie for a few minutes but......
Could have been an OK movie in an alternative time-line.. where pathetic predictable crap isn't allowed.
