Love.net

It's a metaphor! The film ''Love dot net'' new approach are reinterpreting luxury with a western attitude that embodies the relaxed vibe of this part of scenario - one of the reasons I tipped it as one of the top film to watch in 2023! My wish for you in 2023? That you embrace the new year ready to travel the world and enjoy all that it offers! The start of a new year offers an opportunity to draw up lists of resolutions, and in our case, that means deciding which destinations around the world we want to visit and cherish! In whatever month you watch ''Love dot net'' movie, it is always warm during the day and chillout at night. ''Love dot net'' is a Bulgarian film, whom is not advertising specific hip hop group called ''Upsurt'' like stundup comedy and rolling commercials over the last 25 years ''bulgarian time.'' Has comprehensive from creative ideas to production and post reality. Profiled in marketing and management of concerts and corporate events as well as design and construction! Acting play perfomances of all cast and crew set and scenography. ''Love dot net'', I believe have will gathered acclaim at prestigions international film festivals and have been successful at the domestic box office!

What is love? Not Haddaway style (or any of the Metal version of it), but in the age of digital technology. Some things have not changed - like marriage being or rather becoming stale. And when that happens or some people feel that, they go outside to find a thrill ... when others would do almost anything to get with the partner they leave "behind" (no pun intended).

Good drama, with a few strands that are explored. Acting is up for it (again no pun intended) and the story flows nicely to say the least. Still a bit surprised this does so well rating wise here - but on the other hand, I reckon sometimes good drama is being acknowledged.

The only reason to watch this trash is if you're a big Uriah Heep fan. Ignore the high ratings - they're just Bulgarians trying to delude themselves that this is a good movie out of some patriotic duty.

Hristo Shopov was better in "Vchera" and "The Passion of the Christ", anyway.

I completely agree with the person who says that the 8,4 score is a joke. It is as false as the movie itself. I disagree with the other person on the account of the actors' performance, camera work, music, etc. The acting is so bad that I wanted to leave the cinema in the first few minutes. The actors recite their lines as if they were in some third class theatre play. Shopov utters his words with a pompous, almost tragic intonation but may be the worst is the actress who struggles with the English as well as with the lines in Bulgarian.

There are lots of shortcomings, I just don't know where to start. The script is not very good, there are lots of clumsy lines which make the job of the not very talented actors even more difficult. The music is quite obtrusive, non-stopping and plain annoying. The exaggerated, unnecessary camera movements increase the nausea, already present in the viewer. Bulgarian film makers don't understand that less is always more, especially when a real concept and ability is lacking.

When I say that this movie is false I mean that it gives an untrue picture of the life in Bulgaria. Yes, there are some affluent and even very rich people there but if you judge from the film only, it looks as if Bulgaria has reached and surpassed the life standard of Western Europe which of course is far, far from the bleak reality. May be this is one reason why many Bulgarian viewers like the film - it makes them forget the ugly apartments they inhabit, the run-down streets, the poverty, etc. In the film we see interiors looking as photographs in a furniture store catalogue, everything is overly coordinated and unreal, yet far from stylish. One of the couples in the film ate sushi which provoked some excitement from the audience, oblivious to the fact that they were eating the sushi with fork and knife! Another problem of the film is the product positioning - everybody seems to use the same type of computer and drink the same brand of whiskey. And the list could go on and on.

I think the biggest problem in Bulgarian cinema now is not the the lack of finance but the lack of real, original talent. The tendency is to make films which follow all the bad Hollywood clichés because the film makers think that in this way the movie will appeal to the Western audience. Wrong! Just look for comparison to the Romanian '4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days'.

First off - if some of the people here think that in any way they can express some patriotic statements and miss-leading ratings based on that in the global network, in a global site like IMDb - man, isn't that something not so clever..?

Second - categorizing people by terms and behavior, in a movie review website is a sign that something is really wrong with the person doing it..

Now, back to the review. To be honest - I've watched the movie long ago, and don't remember much concrete parts of it. But what's left is the most important - the feeling is alive. What comes to my mind when hearing about Love.net is "oh, I enjoyed it!". It doesn't matter if I'm a Bulgarian, Uzbek or Marsian, the fact is that I'll watch the movie again, not to return here and write a bunch of stuff to you, but because I have the feeling that I enjoyed the movie and I want to remember the details that made me feel this way. Love.net was, in my mind, the first truly modern Bulgarian Film Project. A movie, quite similar to US movies in ways of technical, aesthetic and visual appeal. One of the first Bulgarian movies, which is talking about something in the present and in the past.

I gave the movie rate 7 out of 10, because I remember that somehow the subject incorporated in the screenplay was good, but not deep enough. All in all - nice one.
