The Foreigner

There are a lot of things which really made strong impact, such as the shaky camera, the inadequate editing and the sound effects. The plot didn't make any sense and the acting is terrible most of the time. I took in mind that the movie is directed by Niki Iliev, who graduated in film directing and the set is financed by private companies, which probably limited the budget, but a more careful consideration of some scenes would have been useful.

The plot brought up questions such as how communication is so poor among family members, business partners and how come the people from the two villages are so unaware of what is happening around them. And at the same time girls have perfect manicure and make up all the time, some of them are even following the fashion trends. Providing that the natives in the movie live a rural life, they dress classy for their standard of living. GPS navigation doesn't exist.

The action scenes in the movie can be characterized as a parody and a parallel with action scenes from Bollywood can be made. The director, as an actor, showed great kicks and punches but they were miles away from the desired targets spots.

In terms of after effects, low- quality SFX were used and more detailed work on audio should have been great. The ambient sounds and the non- diegetic music is rubbish. Heightened FX are partly used, rather inadequate songs are chosen to do that instead. Some songs were not referenced like the other 3 songs circulating in the set. Perhaps of copyrights? A good idea should have been to collect "buzz tracks" on location, rather using ready- made ones. There is great software which can compensate for shaky camera footage.

As a summary it would be a great production if it was made by final year students. Good camera motion. Ridiculous plot.

The movie isn't bad but also is nothing special considering that it is a directorial debut. It is true that the rating is too high I gave him 5 but I must admit that there were pretty funny moments. It is a light and pleasant story, with very nice music and also with beautiful actors. Interesting fact about the film is that it is an extended version of the short film with which the director graduated from the university. The film has no deep meaning and it's just a story about the clash of people who have nothing in common. It's good for wasting time and if you are looking for something that doesn't make you think about serious things. The feeling that one feels after watching a film depends on expectations before watching it so my advice is have low expectations and the movie will surprise you.

As the movie shows, now, I live through something extraordinary. I am making a memory that will worm me when I get old. Because life without memories flies away as the wind does. Or at least in the movie is said so.

At its middle I decided to write because it was a participant in a contest for Bulgarian movies. At its end I decided to wrote about it because of what it was. I do not forget to note that it was recommended to me by a close friend but I haven't the courage to watch home production. I will note also that I am writing on a piece of paper with a pencil because my battery went down. And I miss only the candle.

Because of that contest I wondered why our people do not make movies about foreign countries or at least talking about them. Naturally I throw aside this idea as impossible.

And here! In this movie! Staging is good (on times hand shooting is beyond the measures, but not so much), acting is good, french speech is receiving. The atmosphere can warm your heart. In general, a movie able to give a lesson to most of us. At least I say it. Bravo! A movie that succeeded to change the meaning of songs. In life there are songs and is up to us which will sing - the sad or the cheer ones.

I note: one of the elderly family couples reminds me of the couple in "Shrek" about which I will add what people say. It is not important that you are a monster. It is important to find a monster like you that will love you. The end.

Ultimate the variety in your life. Inspire your next getaway. Trace the story of the style and culture in the Bulgarian film industry. The early years of the Bulgarian era finally agains the difficult life situations. The director and writer is Niki Iliev. Magnificent screenplay, which will associate with a team of star actors. Striking architecture, grand boulevards, world-class art and classic places to stay from countries all around the world. Traveller and the beauty can join to the mountain town, the rocky islands knowns with theirs black seaside imagination and wildlife. Extraordinary film which includes action scenes, excellent food, French wine and remarkable sound.

It's just bad. Each Bulgarian film in the last 5 years is a weak excuse for cinema. Of course the audience can be blamed for not putting a higher standard, they are satisfied with this bad acting. No story. A few funny lines.

The screenplay is awful. And not just in the Bulgarian movies. It's every single commercial. Bulgaria also suffers from bad music. Wrong youngsters culture. Ton of bad books.

I really hope that it will be fixed. Start with the cinema. And grow a beard. Make a hoax( I'm still here. Joaquin phoenix). Do something interesting.
