Phileine zegt sorry (2003)
Phileine charms her way through love
Too little depth, too bad. Following the book by Ronald Giphart word for word, this movie doesn't have much to say. It doesn't fascinate the viewer, it's just another love story that has been tried to make interesting by making the main character talk into the camera in the middle of some scenes. Makes you remember Saved by the bell and Ally McBeal. The Lead-role is played by Kim van Kooten, and if you like brunettes you'll probably like her. Good for you because the sex-scenes could make up for lack of story / plot-line. She ends up saying she's sorry for all the things she's done, big deal. This scene (which should be the climax of the movie) doesn't seem to express it's importance to the viewer. An average movie that has some humorous scenes in it and Kim van Kooten is a very attractive woman ;)
Waking Life (2001)
An Excellent movie dealing with some nice philosophical questions.
A movie in which the actors don't do the work (although they the acting is good). No really big names in this film (although I recognized some well known actors through the paint).
The story starts with the main theme: "Dreaming is destiny".
The story always keeps you wondering when the lead character is dreaming and when he's awake. What is a dream? Is lucid dreaming possible? What if I'm dreaming right now!?
In going through life the main character gets into a car accident. When he wakes up in his own bed, he meets a number of interesting characters, some of which have a nice view on life and death.
If you're in to philosophy and science, this movie is one of the best movies you will come across, not only is this, what you might call, a mind-f**k movie, it also has something to say.
