The Sandman (2022)
Sandman is one long yawn-fest
Sandman is one long yawn-fest. Not a slow burn instead a butt burn.
Many adult themes for a tale that seems to be made for simple children.
This had much potential but was squandered away with dopey dialog and a story line that was bloated and boring.
Umutsuzlar (1971)
As if you could actually spoil this film by a review
O.K. so the serious bad-ass badman Firat can not have this gorgeous blonde with huge hair and equally huge false eyelashes not because he is a bad-ass outlaw that she will have to worry about reading his obituary every day. They can not consummate their passions because... now brace yourself, because Firat's badman partners won't allow him (Firat is the top crime dog) to have a girl friend. More puzzling is that (spoiler) at the end to prove his love for Cigdem, Mr. criminal Firat tosses his gun away then walks out into a hail of bullets. Shot down dead. Of course. So, why this stupid gesture? Who knows. Who even cares. The movie made almost no sense and I expected no sense to be made from the outset. But as usual with Turkish garbage genre (this refers only to their bad bad bad films) it was fun and entertaining. Did this review help you? I hope not.
Flatland (2007)
great animation - very thoughtful
I had not read the book that this was based on. There was even a sense that this would be a waste of time.
I realized I was very wrong. As others have mentioned in their comments: this is no Hollywood canon fodder intended for the spoon-fed masses.
Some interest in mathematics or science is not essential but more than likely contributes to ones viewing of the film.
I found the story very thoughtful and entertaining at the same time. The film is well executed and easy to watch.
(Two dimensional characters do not have facial Tiks - just my thoughts)
Muleupgwa muleupsai (1984)
Clash of Western and Traditional Korean values in the 1980's
Ja-young is experiencing difficulties navigating the two worlds of her traditional Korean customs and those of the West. Having been scarred by inappropriate contact by an adult as a young girl; she has difficulties distinguishing between right and wrong behavior with young men. Her overbearing mother has driven Ja-young to the point where she can no longer act on her own will and this leads to trouble for her. There is a theme of men fondling and caressing women's knees in the is film which is the focal point of all male sexual advances towards Ja-Young. Things spiral out of control for not only Ja-Young but her family who has their fair share of issues and skeletons in the closet. We tend to see this film as addressing some of the modern issues that affect the lives of young Koreans in the 1980's.
