Ten years ago we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope, and Johnny Cash. Now we have no jobs, no hope, and no cash.
I’ve just seen Jobs (2013).
I recently saw The Smurfs 2 (2013). Some feed-back? What did I like? Pleasant characters, I enjoyed it. The movie was, at times, funny. Not all the movie. Quite relaxing & joyful. What I didn’t like as much: The story is not coherent. At times, it goes from A to B without a clear logic. Quick changes, sudden changes, no smoothness. Not realistic. Having a huge wheel go through Paris without hurting people is not realistic. Plain weird. The negative guy turns positive and then negative again, just like that. The smurfs where supposed to be caring & happy & joyful & a family. Yet, at the beginning of the movie, they make classifications and decide who is worth going on the trip and who isn’t based on skill. (more) The bad guy, Gargamel, really suffers in the movie. Physical pain & stuff. I didn’t like that as much.

Planes (2013) – IMDb – the problem with this movie is that they kept exaggerating. You can’t go from first to last, then again last, then again first (everybody else just seems to keep their positions, the real fight is only for the first place). You can’t take a few training lesson from an ex-military and all of a sudden be much better than anybody else who flies in the competition. You can’t have a problem with heights the whole movie, and then you just stop having this. You can’t lose your place in the formation in the previous-to-last step in the race and then continue the race in the last stage as if nothing happened. You can’t have a stalled engine, and via the mere power of high altitude currents be better than the top performer. You can’t beat your system so easily (a plane built for agriculture be better than another one built for races), with no reasoning for this. You can’t get to be the second to finish the race, milliseconds behind the winner, and everyone to boo you. These are questions you can’t answer just like that – “well, it’s not anymore”. You can beat your condition, but it shouldn’t be at a blink of an eye. You need more than this. Things are soooooo much exaggerated.
I will now tell you it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen.
In The Great Dictator (1940), there is a character called Garbitsch (Garbage, but funny). :)
(spolier alert!) I’ve had quite a few insights while watching Life of Pi (2012):
Still, why don’t I like the movie?
“Moaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamă, ce film!” am zis eu la sfârșit. Dacă vreți să aveți spoilers, citiți mai departe. Dacă nu, vedeți filmul pe baza comentariului meu. :)
I wrote here – Ce filme mi-au placut in mod deosebit? – Fii eficient! – the following:
Ambition to Meaning: Finding Your Life’s Purpose (Video 2009) – “Nu”-urile pentru film țin de gradul de credibilitate a mesajului. “Da”-ul pentru film vine din faptul că are o perspectivă interesantă asupra vieții, care te pune pe gânduri. Un film non-excepțional de excepție. Poate fi văzut cu subtitrare în română: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtbaOOrDQvY
