LavourArcaica (2001)
Do you love Batman the dark knight?
If you think the dark knight is the best film ever made by mankind. If you cried watching Titanic If you love cgi and action and
explosions...
then this movie is not for you.
By the way, is it a movie? Is it a poem? Is it a painting? Is it theater? It's a masterpiece that can bind all of these arts together into a coherent and - above all - intelligent story.
Another classic that will never be recognized by IMDb users: it's not Hollywood, it's not industry.
IT'S ART
Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
And the moral of the story is...
As art, it's reasonable. Although I'm a fan of Boyle's work since Shallow Grave – and I consider Trainspotting one of the best movies of the 90's – Slumdog Millionaire disappointed me. It's the classical Hollywood self-overcoming cliché with the "I love you" conclusion. The old argument: if you are a good boy, God will help you in the end, no matter what are the obstacles you must face. As a social reflection, the movie is revolting. The moral of the story clearly is: only poor people are truly happy. So, if rich countries keep India, Africa or Brazil in poverty, they are doing us a favor, since they are helping us either being happy or going to heaven. And I could not avoid saying Boyle's movie sounded to me like a bad taste fairy tale version of Fernando Meirelles' masterpiece Cidade de Deus (City of God). 3/10
