Vysotskiy. Spasibo, chto zhivoy (2011)
Symbol vs Death
I would say this is film about man who is the symbol of the people versus death. And the death in this film closely related to government and KGB. Death is also can be seen as the Visotskiy inability to further work on his poetry - which is the life. Most people who do not know about Visotskiy, how people lived in Soviet Union, will find this film as waste of time. Most people who know Visotskiy well will expect bio type film. It is not. Audience younger than 40 and who lived in former USSR, may expect true satisfaction. As film it is very good. Soundtrack selection sometimes strange. Actors are excellent, except Visotskiy, dialogs are good.
Lady in the Water (2006)
Prophecy or subtle joke
Nice movie. Just when watching do not forget it is kind of fairytale mixed with reality like sometimes we have in our dreams. By the way it is not the first M. Night's movie which mixes fictional and real worlds. Somebody sees prophecy in this movie in place where narf tells about a boy destined to become the president of the United States. But for me it's more like a joke. Actually narf says that the contents of the book will be the 'seeds of the minds of this boy which will become the president'. Ironically the book called "The Cookbook" (although the book is not about the cooking). Isn't that the critics of current president of United States?
Definitely must see, but not in cinema. DVD only with appropriate mood.
Would I want to watch this movie one more time? The answer is: YES.
