Momo

The first hour of Momo is an adorable orphan and her adorable turtle are beloved by a small German town. Maybe a little more than an hour, actually.

The last act is high fantasy beyond Terry Gilliam, Kafka, and Dr Seuss. It's just stunningly beautiful with a speculative fiction (as opposed to sci-fi) plot that is wholly original. And so dang cool in every way.

1998's Dark City (which failed badly despite being quite nifty) is very much based on Momo. It's from the author of The Neverending Story, if that means anything to you. It's kinda boring for a while and then it's briefly, at it's end, one of the best things.

(There's a YouTube video titled "momo Ave Maria" if you want to skip the film and just see the tasty candy from it.)

A mysterious girl, Momo, and the gray guys who grab the time from her friends. There's the scene in which they tried making people convert by explaining the breakdown of time in their lives. It sounded convincing to me curiously.

Those are not only time for sleeping and working, but also are the time for caring for a parrot, talking to the hearing-impaired mother, hanging out friends and reading books. Too detail! I'm sure that gray guy is capable... On top of all that, he says that it's "waste" even if it's 30 minutes per day to go to see a wheelchair woman who a guy has been in one-sided love with. He totaled up 27,594,000 seconds of damage. I feel like dizzy.

By those cunning time robber, people came to save their time and be busy. But, the more they save their time, the more they lost it. People don't live to just work, working is the way to live.

This lesson was tough for my ears because I think I shouldn't be stingy with time. It's not a waste to spend time for someone. I hate these : "When are you free?" "Do you have a minute?"

If I must get time or money, I choose money without hesitating. Because I can buy time. If you struggle to think up a menu every day and choose the clothes, the better ways are to delete the selections or hire the person who decides that. If it's bad to spend a full of day working around the house, you can hire a housekeeper.

Still, I want to enjoy time to work and think basically. "The waste" is determined by the subjectivity. Also, a tough time is "the waste." But I would think that enjoying time itself is the knack to enjoy my own life. However, to enjoy that kind of time, it's necessary to have a room in our hearts. Additionally, we need some money to have the room. Everything related.

Maybe all of the things happen at the same time in parallel. But our time which we feel is absolutely only uniaxial and irreversible. Don't lose your standard of "the waste."

So, when are you free?

when we watched "momo", there were apart from us only children and a few mothers to move the children about in the cinema. obviously, the "mothers" were paying not very much attention to the film, for it is a "film for children". that is not true, it's a film for any age.

"momo" takes place in a small village in italy. there lives a small girl (momo), who is the most liked and trusted person in the village. one day strange haunty gray men arrive. they visit one villager after the other and steal time from them. the villagers get busy and hectic and have no more time for each other. momo and her friends try to do something about it, but it gets very difficult and dangerous.

the film is well-acted, has a intense atmosphere and good music. beside of that, we can learn a lot from it - expecialy the adults. so watch this film and pay attention.

Quite strange but after all a really great film. For families to enjoy a sweet moment of time (in every sense). I liked the fact that contains three different languages, the acting wasn't great at the very beginning, but the effects and the story was fluent and easy to follow. No strange metaphors but a good connection between past and future. I won't spoil anything but there weren't any bad scenes, even if it had people who smoked. It didn't have any character that I hated a lot, such a bad feeling when it happens, because even the antagonists were well made as evil and didn't make any useless move.

One of the best movies for children and (as others said) adults as well! The story is very interesting as it is true that people have less and less time for the truly important stuff in life. Another good point about this movie is the fact that the evil is displayed without a lot of violence, and it is still thrilling to watch.

Radost Bokel plays Momo very well and I love the turtle

As a kid I enjoyed watching this and as an adult I still do.

Good stuff 9/10
