| The Match Factory Girl From Amazon (US) for |
A Must-see!!! (Rating: 5.00) Review : This movie is great, for it shows the bitter truth of life in a witty style. It deals with a serious theme; by serious, I do not mean philosophical or sophisticated but just very deeply concerned with our everyday lives. One may feel a little depressed while seeing this movie due to the general dismal atmosphere of the film, and above all, due to the idea that human beings, even though there is no such thing as a soul mate, are doomed to chase this unreal object. But at the last sequence of the movie, he or she may smile at the way our protagonist, the match factory girl copes with the harsh reality. This last sequence is that witty and unexpected. I relished this movie because it makes viewers realize that human lives are the course of yearning and searching for a fragile but beautiful illusion and that in this sense all human beings are the same. Anybody who sees this movie will feel sympathy for the factory girl, who suffers from the gap between the dream and the reality; feel pathos of the human lives' insignificance; and yet perceive the truth of men--even more keenly through the mordant wit and the lucid style. BREAKING OUT (Rating: 4.00) Review : I think I counted only 13 or 14 spoken words in thismovie. There may have been fewer, I am not sure. Naturally, then, thisis a film you must watch to appreciate. It is remarkable what depthand nuance can be conveyed simply by looking at pictures on ascreen. A rather dreary tale is told here about a homely,wallflowerish girl who lives with her parents and works in a matchfactory. She gives her entire income to her family, but one day spotsa dress in the window of a shop and spends some of her earnings onit. She wears it to a club, where she is approached by a man for whatseems to be the first time in her life. ... Again, this is quite adreary film, but it was worthwhile to view it. Also it is a thoughtprovoking film in that it makes you evaluate the people who surroundyou... maybe perfect strangers that you see in your school orworkplace. They seem quiet, shy, unassuming, and the next day they aremurderers. In my high school years, actually, there were an alarmingnumber of people with whom I attended school who ended up beingconnected to murders in one way or another, and this film made merecall these sorts of feelings and thoughts, wondering about what goeson in people's heads to lead them to such rash acts. Close to a perfect movie (Rating: 5.00) Review : At first you think that you are watching the most depressing film ever made, but then things go completely awry. Very funny. bleak simplicity merged with sheer boredom (Rating: 1.00) Review : 70 wasted minutes, and I believe that I have a large interest and tolerance in trying out diverse films. There are far more clever and intriguing films out there that plumb the depths of revenge and meager existences. You got to be kidding... (Rating: 1.00) Review : Is this art? Excuse my ignorance but these were the worst 2 hours I have ever spent in my life. I just sit there waiting for the "movie" to start and it just ended. This movie is depressing, ugly, makes no sense whatsoever, pseudo art ..., good for some depressed Finish audience on a looonnnggg winter night. Have fun. |
