Reviews

Students follow a couple of discipline rules and in 5 days a full blown murderous fascist movement spontaneously rises. One more day and they'd be invading Poland. In the top 3 of the stupidest movies I've seen

So I never wrote a review before, but I just felt I needed to write one for this film. I have to say that I'm generally very critical about comedies because they seem to me just stupid and the stories are too often absolutely void of any meaning. I usually don't like comedies. In fact, I'm usually too critical about any kind of movie. I'm too critical about people around me. I'm too critical about life in general. I'm too critical about anything at all. And that's part of the reason why I needed to watch this so badly. I tend to appreciate films and art in general that seem powerful, tragic, dramatic, that capture the depth and tragic beauty of life and existence. This film is the absolute opposite in a way and yet it reached much deeper. The whole ambient of the film is very good. It's very relaxed, very careless, and leaves you in a great mood and happy about what you have. In a way, it reminds me of the Big Lebowski. It reminded me in a very heartfelt way that life isn't about achieving, winning or loosing, it's not so much about the moments of sudden change (like death, or a separation, or the loss of a loved one) which we usually overvalue, but a lot more about the nice moments which we overlook - the in between. The film is an in between moment. The characters are in some kind of quest. But the way it's shown to you makes you realize that in no way the final point of the quest is in any way more important than the moments in between. I absolutely loved the ambient and the characters. They're just enough to the crazy side and just enough down to earth. Also, the way some parts of the plot seem to make not so much sense or are a bit absurd just adds up to the nice carefree feeling. And obviously also the way that death or the afterlife is portrayed. I know I'm giving an absolutely personal and subjective perspective of the film. But I felt I should say this because this film just reminded me or even made me realize that life isn't really a tragedy in a moment when I most needed that. Watch this if you need to feel good (: I loved it. 9/10 (which I don't give easily and is the maximum I've ever given)
