Canadarm

I will say that I had very high expectations of this movie at first. I mean you have a great director in Werner Herzog and when I heard David Lynch was involved and saw the cast I started rubbing my hands together. My expectations changed slightly when I read other IMDb reviews many of which gave the movie a mediocre rating. But wow, "My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done" proved to be the best movie of the year for me personally if not one of my favorites in a decade. To sum it up without giving anything away; its awesomely beautiful, the story is most intriguing and you have a cast with a performance to die for. Also the music is excellent and the direction is spotless. In a offbeat way it is actually very sweet and funny at times too. Enough said. If you get the chance to see this strange and beautiful movie, I highly recommend that you do. 10/10 no question about it.

I almost always look at reviews here on IMDb before I see a movie, this time I'm really glad that I didn't. Can't really see why there are so many poor reviews... If you're in the right mood this movie can be really rewarding. It's not perfect by any means but some of the scenes are mesmerizing! The acting is great all around and the atmosphere is really cool. Most of the dialogue is pretty weird and funny but also sad and emotional at times.

Anyway, just give it a few minutes and I'm sure many of you will get into it!

see it....

I saw Daft Punk's Electroma late last night at the Stockholm Filmfestival. This was right after seeing Gondry's "The Science of Sleep" which was brilliant! This evening turned out to be a great french evening.. Even though I have always been a big fan of Daft Punk's music, especially their live performances, I didn't really think that I would enjoy Electroma that much, but I was wrong! I was really touched by this story of two Robots (the members in daft punk) trying to become human. The theme is similar to that of their latest album "Human After All". It reminded me of Kubrick/Spielberg's "A.I", but Electroma is much more symbolical and humans play a less important role. The movie depicts the robots desire to be unique and human, and just like "Stalker" and other Tarkovsky movies the scenes are very long and for the most part there is no music just background noise, this made me really get into the movie. The whole movie is fantastic but the high rating is mostly due to the ending which is crazy good! I don't know if Daft Punk's robot-era is over after this movie, but I'm looking forward to seeing more stuff from them.

This is probably a movie that many people might find boring because it is a very silent and slow movie (heard a guy in front of me snoring..) but give it a chance... The french are not as stupid as the look!

oh and the music is not daft punk, but I heard some Brian Eno and Curtis Mayfield, overall the music choices were excellent! Merci;)
