The White Ribbon

Let's celebrate for the existence of this movie in this frustrating production of silly cheap films, which not only decrease our taste, but also made us to think like a machine. We will forget the pure goal of picture and in this case, cinema. Maybe some think that there is no goal, and the cinema picture anything without any purpose, I do respect them but i don't think like this. Anyway, this movie is different. it isn’t a Hollywood product but it has a very strong structure. The cinematography is brilliant in this movie and compositions are well designed. It couldn’t be a miracle, just a well ordered schedule could result this output. The frames are really like to photos and its not happening by chance. I read somewhere that the movie was shot originally in color first, but then on post-production procedure the crew decided to alter to black and white; what a good decision it was! I haven't seen the color scenes and they have not been released; and I hope this won’t happen! Because i feel the movie this way, believe me or not it was a great feeling, i suggest you not to lose this chance.

The drama on this movie is the one you may seek for, but haven't achieved yet. The crew is wonderful. I liked the Pastor role and its powerful actor Burghart Klaußner. He played his role very effectively and you can track his emotion on his face but not on his dialogs. The screen play was also drastic. This movie has won the Palme d'Or at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival.

Truly deserved and more than that. Highly recommended!

Run Lola Run

Wonderful! As the movie begins you will realize that you're gonna face a different movie due to its interesting prime scenes. On the following, the movie takes you deep in the story and with its high rhythm music and picture, keeps your attention on details; details which you'll unconsciously compare on next episodes.

3 different looks to an event is the key point of this movie. sometimes i feel shit about these key points but we live in real world, and in this world you're going too need some! the priority of these episodes are very nice and absorbing. The beginning of the 2 last episodes are really really effective, when Lola asks his boyfriend Manny about love, her crazy continuous questions and his simple silly answers; And the second one, Manny's concern about death and Lola's reaction to his feelings. I also liked Lola's father role, it was strongly played by Herbert Knaup.

the complexity of the story isn't that much you can't handle. but its sweet and when you think of them, you feel good and maybe it made you to think more to find these kind of complexities in your life. Again, every thing was just fine but its make up, i think it could done better than this. this movie became one of my favorites, watch it, maybe you feel same!
