Review of Hunger

Hunger (2008)

Having respect for life in a very powerful-raw-hard-human movie
25 December 2013
"I have my belief, and in all its simplicity that is the most powerful thing" (quote from the movie). This is a very hard to watch- traumatic movie but I'm sure reality was even worst. In some parts in can be disturbing, I felt sick at the end, but Steve McQueen did an amazing-superb work as director. The story is so human you can feel it every second. The rhythm, dialogs and acting are superb. Without any personal political input in this movie, I'm going to focus on the human side, the way human dignity is more important than anything and the way most of the times we forget about it, fighting for an ideal without violence makes the difference. Michael Fassbender acting is superb, physically he made a dangerous but incredible work to prepare for this role. The use of dialogs is perfect and the images are so strong and hard you can feel "Bobby Sand's" feelings. Again, hard to watch but very powerful human movie that should encourage people to think about the value of their lives. Hats off for Steve McQueen as director.
