Notes from the New World

Notes from The New World represents a wealth of classic wisdom thoughts brought to the fore by the producer.

I particularly liked this movie because it takes us on a journey through contemporary culture and wisdom. Throughout the film, dreams and harsh realities of life, live side by side.

The actors are definitely a strong point of the movie.

Moreover, this movie faithfully describes many aspects of our society.Notes From The New World, is a superb adaptation of a classic novel by Dostoyevsky.

The background music is superb!

I've had an opportunity to attend the private screening for this film. "She is like a firework or a bomb!" - This is my first impression of Sonia, one of the lead characters of the story (she's characterized as "angel" on the movie home page – www.notesthemovie.com) because she is not only beautiful but also unpredictable like terrorism. She causes the deaths of many people in Notes from the New World's story.

For Steven, Sonia indeed may be a girl who combines in herself the qualities of mother and "femme fatale" or should I also say "love and terrorism". Is this is why she is a sort of a special "angel" for him? I must say that I do worry a little bit about Steven when he starts again his life with Sonia. So, the ending theme is very meaningful.

As of this writing, I think we don't need to live underground to isolate ourselves. All we have to do is have cell phones. And indeed – now we could find many tweets from different Steven-alike guys on the internet.

This genre-straddling film is about both the past and the modern things.

I saw the rough cut of the film some time ago. It was a private screening for the industry guys in the sound mixing studio, in LA. Recently I've watched the completed film at the Marbella Film Festival, Costa Del Sol, in Spain. The movie considerably improved - honestly, I didn't expect the final version of the film to capture the essence of Dostoevsky this good.

I'm glad to have seen the general idea of "Notes From The New World" being manifested successfully in the modern times and in a place like Los Angeles. The acting was surprisingly good and the build up of the suspense left me wondering what would happen after every scene. The scenery and cinematography were pleasing to my eyes.

We don't get to see these kinds of films very often and I hope the director Vitaly Sumin has more projects on his plate. Overall, it was a delightful experience for me!

This movie is what the art of film is all about. It doesn't just present a famous literary tale--it refracts it through the prism of the camera lens. There have been several other attempts to present modern renditions of Dostoevsky's famous "Notes from the Underground," but this movie takes it far beyond that. It's a story within a story within a story. After a stunning opening shot of Los Angeles seen from underground (the metro station), we're exposed to the amazing sight of none other than Dostoevsky himself, beard and all, tromping through the streets of Los Angeles. But as it turns out, it's not really Dostoevsky; it's an intense young guy portraying him. And what's driving this dude? Ah, there the plot thickens. Let's just say it's a world of competing agendas, of boxes hidden inside other boxes. This is one of those films that would take far too much time to describe; it just has to be experienced.

I had the opportunity to watch ''Notes '' (private screening) and I was really impressed.Honestly, there is a lot of our society that can be seen in this movie. It shows how people can be really alike in spite of their differences. It also helps to realize that the world has not changed that much.It reveals the deep feelings that we all hide. It shows the power of choice in life, and how it is hard to be who we want to be when the past is all we know. I really enjoyed this movie, because I could relate to what we see in society, and how opposite worlds meet each other.It has opened my perspective. It has helped me to see beyond the surface, and the often judgements we see everyday. After all, regarding our professions we are just humans trying to find our own place in this world.
