Lupo B'New York (1976)
Great Family Movie with wonderful Music
Of course, I understand Hebrew. Translations to English often really "kill" a movie. I vaguely remember the translation as being o.k.
I really enjoyed this movie back in 1976. I had returned to the U.S.A. and had been back for a few years.I always intended to return. This movie really made me want to go back to Israel even more. Now looking back it is sort of ironic. In order to go back to Israel, I would have to leave my family. This movie is about missing (ga'agoo-im) for family. Of course, this movie may seem a bit hokey today. But the message of close family ties, respect for elders and appreciating grandparents is still wholesome values for today. O.K. it is quite corny. But I really did like it. The songs are really really good.
Unfortunately,Boaz Davidson went on to make the series of garbage Lemon Popsicle.
Edut Me'ones (1984)
It Could have been a very good movie...
but it fell apart trying to be every type of movie in one.. about the moral obligation to come forth if you are a witness(to a serious crime like rape) -a family movie about divorce raising a child as a single parent -depression after being raped
-the Israeli Police apathy -The criminal justice system in Israel
-snakes in Israel -crazy drivers in Israel
-a movie that portrays a real incident that happened (a year and a half jail time for hitting a rapist on the head one too many times)
-and of course, a soft porn movie with Anat revealing again to the world her beautiful body.
My goodness.
Sex and children in the same movie.
Makes me want to vomit.
This movie has very little to give its audience. I must say that many of the scenes unfortunately reflect extremely well various humanoids walking around in Israel.
Of course, the laws have changed since 1984 and may God Help anyone who looks at a woman 'the wrong way' - if she knows her rights and is willing to nail him to the wall! AS IT SHOULD BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shlosha V'achat (1974)
Hidden Messages
This movie is full of hidden messages and they are political in nature. Assi is saying that after the Yom Kippur War, all the old ways have passed. By not changing, not living in reality not taking responsibility, the older generation lived in a fantasy world that vanished and almost killed off the hope for the future. Assi does this with a lot of T&A. and screwing. Probably most people who saw this movie missed the point. I wonder what they were doing?! Weren't they paying attention to the message?! ;) Well, in order to have this thing printed I need two more lines. I think Yona Eliyan has a beautiful face. Later on in her career when she appeared on television, my toddler (a little boy) couldn't keep his eyes off of her on the television. I think that was back in 1986. Is that enough? I hope so!
Al Hapanim (1989)
No Candid Camera
Sorry. This is a really bad and stupid movie.
I used to love "Candid Camera" growing up.
Israel would do well to drag out the old black and white series by the great Allen Funt and run THAT on television.
Even so, the potential for this kind of film in Israel is really great. Attempts every week are being made at this genre in Israel but they don't even come close to doing it right.
Here are some guides if anyone is listening. -No cheap thrill jiggles. -Children when treated with respect are some of the greatest comics. -No one should be harmed or humiliated. - Use imagination and/or sophistication - Poor taste is not funny. - The truth is funny. - Obvious setups that are re-staged are pathetic and third world.
