lioil Review of Bold Native

Bold Native (2010)

Unique life-impact and controversy potential with tempo/storyline flaws.

[7/10 · 10 January 2011]

The film is unique in its impact potential but it lacks in the tempo/storyline fullness. I think that between recruiting Karl and unexpected meeting with father it was too fluffy and/or vaguely hinting. Its 56 votes rating is 9,8 now: I should feel like I have missed something. Without prospect of seeing it for the second time, I rather see my assessment as the most correct, just for the fact that almost all the other reviewers found it flawless. It just was not seen by enough law-abiding, humanocentric, monogamous meateaters who would from the emotional silliness vote it as awful same way as too many others found the poignant topic enough for a great filming achievement. I agree: the topic description is stunning and if I stop eating flesh now (I am ripe:) I will be this movie's heartbreaking witnessing; few movies have any real-change impact potential. Thus this movie should be seen by everybody and it feels only sad that its present cut is not as good as eg. its sibling Edukators (Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei) which lacks Bold's topic urgency yet works on all movie planes. I enjoyed the colourfullness of the characters: they are slightly off the balance as to be good and victims as opposed to a corrupt, terrorist frenzy-unsensitized regime, but not too much. (Is USA after 9/11 manners really mutating into bigbrothership?) Other highlight was the guitar song. I think that Joaquin Pastor is a great singer and should have tons of songs on you-tube...
