If you ever feel down, think that a movie nobody remembers about Robin Williams playing with fucking jello made more money than you and all your loved ones together in your whole lives.
I liked the part where the white guys fought their egos out for almost an hour when the world was about to fall apart. The battle of the second half was really cool, anyway.
Is this Feuillade guy just about aristocrats being robbed by criminals named after horror creatures, or what?
As well as with Les vampires, I just couldn't understand the fuss around this particular one. It is naïve, slow, and has monotonous sets and takes. Or maybe just silent crime thrillers lack the dynamism I'm used to in contemporary cinema.
If music for this film is the one that appears in Hunziker's link, at least its music fit really well.
It is always ambitious to encompass the whole life of such a character like Jesus Christ. Context taken into account, this one is really well done, problem is, however, that, what makes it worth the merit, makes it also banal. I guess that the unreasonable explotation of the Bible as film subject makes this way less stunning as it probably was, as it would have happened when a Christian, already grown audience had watched a wounded Christ hanging on the cross for the very first time in their lives.
After all, I consider it is of good taste using Bible quotes, instead of anything, as intertitles. Worth a look.
Don't you people even get some joy in watching naked people running around with demons and that sort of things?
In my opinion, the best film so far from the 1890's until its date, even including Méliès in between; on the other hand, it could have become exceeded easily and quickly by more Hollywood-esque—and vulgar—stuff, like Griffith.
Having read the comments before watching the film, I thought this would be really bad; it wasn't. However I agree on that the music is awful, and what a director selects to be heard in their film is, for me, as important as staging and dialogues. If listening to a piece of Baroque is by itself already insufferable, specially when played almost with just one cello, doing it continuously for a whole hour is like an actual trip to hell, which I think it wasn't the directors' intention. Since the film is not as vulgar as the music given to it in this adaptation, may the film work a bit better with a more awe-inspiring music? Just sayin'.
It is a good attempt at the end of the day, but a work like Divina Commedia deserves the most dramatic sort of production, just like the Lord of the Ring's trilogy.
As ok as the previous one, although very similar, as expectable anyway; inferior in relation to action, yet more solid when it comes to drafting the plotline for those who aren't familiar (and perhaps don't even want to) with the comics, like me.
Nevertheless, I think it's not really worth the time if you're not into this Marvel thing or haven't watched the prequel.
The very beginning is simply unbearable: sex, imperialism, and rock and roll. Then, it gets friendlier, and even enjoyable as time passes by. Far from something worth-remembering, but worth the explosions anyway.
