This Land Is Mine (2012)
Death is the real winner
I'm a fan of Nina Paley works, Sita Sings the Blues is one of my favourite films. This short movie kind of reminds me with its themes of the Pearl Jam animated video-clip Do the Evolution. Do the Evolution is more intense and raw, This Land Is Mine is more poetic and artsy, but I like them both. Although This Land Is Mine seems to be more about Israel specifically, I think we can transpose the message of the world in general too. Pat Boone's song, cover by Andy Williams, fit well the message. I didn't seen Exodus, where is song is took from, so I can't make comparisons. I could totally see this as a part of a bigger feature.
Only God Forgives (2013)
Not sure if God should forgive
Wow, that acting, was unholy. I love Drive, Ryan Gosling and Kristin Scott Thomas, but wow, this movie... I don't know how they thought it would be a good idea to acting and deliver lines like this. The cinematography is clean, it's beautiful, stylish, I love the colors, the music is really good (even if I think sometimes it didn't fit well with the movie) and Kristin Scott Thomas had some OK moments, but the rest wasn't my style. The story has some interesting symbolisms and it could have been great if it wasn't on how it's presented, with the weird acting. It's like they are trying too hard. Too bad, the movie had one of the best trailers of the year, I had high expectations. But I plan to rewatch the movie, maybe it will be better on a second watch, but I'm not sure.
