The Foreigner

Unfortunately, I will strongly disagree with the current review of this film.

I am disappointed from this movie's script where dialectic-ism is used in a very flat, inappropriate and completely irritating way. The characters are underdeveloped, insufficient and much more work and complexity is needed to ignite someone's feelings. Actors play is on a very low level and inappropriately selected for their images. Some of the good features of the movie are the selected music and camera work. Otherwise, I had a pretty bad time trying to stay focused and watch the film.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not really into French movies and watch them only for particular cast members, and since THE FOREIGNER starred one of my favourites but in a supporting role, I gave it a try... with disastrous results. If you wanna know why, read my following text.

Gerard is a French man who came in Bulgary for business reasons and once there he falls for a feisty Bulgarian village girl named Sanya. Following his heart Gerard starts to look for the village where Sanya lives despite he doesn't know the language and the habits of the people living there. And of course, Gerard will end up in various embarassing situations that thankfully I forgot because they were too cringeworthy.

What ruined the movie for me is that the lead looked like a big doofus that ended in trouble after trouble because of that village girl, and after a while you simply can't care for him anymore. And the more time passed, the film became duller and dumber. Also, while I am a fan of Christopher Lambert, not only he was for some minutes for saying his occasional line, but he looked like he didn't wanted to be in this movie in the first place... who can blame him? I can only assume they picked him because since the cast is made of unknown names his name alone could have made it marketable, but wrong! Not only his talent was wasted but his appearence wasn't worth of saving this mess.

Overall a misguided comedy that must have been written in a room full of hamsters... very, very dumb hamsters. By the way, not only this has a score of 6,7 but most reviews that give it 1s and others that give it 9s and 10s. While the 1s are probably a bit too low the 9s and 10s would imply that this is a perfect movie, which clearly isn't. Perhaps they were written by folks involved with the movie, who knows and who cares?
