Léolo (1992)
I don't understand why so many people praise this movie
I have seen this movie on DVD, and I was a bit confused. I always thought that I am somehow intelligent and able to understand even complicated plots and thoughts, but this time, I failed. Or can it be that this movie is really not as good as so many people tell us? The story is weird, and I cannot believe that it is a proof of intellectual level that we see a young girl eating an old man's toenails, while a young boy watches her and "plays with himself". And also the rest of the story is only weird. Frankly speaking, this movie is also boring and did not touch me, at all. Everything only seems to give me the impression that the director wanted to talk about some severe problems that he might have had during his childhood!? If he wants, he should go to a psychiatrist. But he should not bore audience with his thoughts.
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
Are there 11 points to give?
First, I must admit that I have not seen "Phantom" on stage, before I went to see the movie. Of course, I knew the music and the story behind it, but that's all. But know, I'm completely on fire, mostly, as a lot of the male audience might say, because of the superb performance of the - perhaps - most beautiful and talented actress I've ever seen. Emmy Rossum is "Christine". Her performance has set the level for all actresses that will play this role in future. From this moment on, when you think of "Christine", in your mind you will see and hear Emmy. The rest of the "Phantom"-cast and the entire crew have also done a perfect job, so it is the best chance for everybody who has not seen the musical on stage, to become a fan for a lifetime. The music sounds perfect, you'll never forget it. The story is well known, but it goes deep to your heart. The action on the screen is perfect for cinema and the sound of the music and the singing deals perfectly with the surround sound system offered in a modern movie theater. Also those who have already seen it on stage will love it, because it opens a new dimension for the performance of the stuff. So from now on, we desperately wait for the release of the DVD, but meanwhile we can go to our local cinema a lot of times.
