Pescuit sportiv (2008)
Low budget and progresist, politically oriented art, ergo myzantropic
! this is a re-post, wih some grammar corrections
! Contains Spoilers..other than the movie it self, whitch SPOILS humanity and real statistic Romanian guys and women..
I am Romanian, age60+, I do practice Catch and Release (The proper translation of the title and maybe the only "good" , in double language , think of the moovie; another acceptable translation, ''mot a mot", could be 'Sport Fishing") .
I went fishing where the film was shot and there the "real stuff" is that the 'the newly enriched spoiled the forest and the lake with a lot of villa-s.
The 'clou"' of the film is that the middle (.."old" ) man and woman, and ''traditional" society, even saying thay care about and respect the "marginal' guys, in reallity they are acting a contrario, up to permit accidental death.
'Cath and release" in sport fishing suggest that in any interhuman reaction, the parts are free to go "their own way" (Fletwood Mac) after. Or 'If you love some one, set him free" -Sting.
Here in the movie, the 'traditional"couple spoils up to death the "pure" marginal character. And do not "release" after "catching" it! Spoiler!! They KILL. In screenwriter and/or director's vision.'Like bad guys they are . The character seems to be killed in the beginnig and dies drawned in reality at the end, with the non-intervention of the man, to "cover" the sins of the traditional couple.
better and forever said allready:
"2 feet, bad, 4 feet, good!!"
absolutly undigestable!
I do not agre with the former virtual colleagues, who rated 10/10 a movie with no public impact, with 4 reviws after 12 years!!! Real Romanians , 35+, are not giving a flick-flack on propaganda, they have had a lot allready.And in my opinion, about 2 pieces of 10/10 ratings in 3 reviews I have a strong suspicion of home critics, or'cause' support.
One star , because it has 5 corners, like the (neo) marxist one.
Don't waste your time if you are not an activist, whatever barricade you are on!
Please do excuse my English!

Loverboy (2011)
A must for any man, any Romanian, any "client"
I wrote this review before reading any other.
It's a must (to watch) for a Romanian, for any man, especially for any (potential or real) prostitute client, for any girl too young at mind, too poor, too far from school, too good looking for the neighborhood. It remembers what my school teacher told me: beauty in art it's not beauty in life. The movie really turned me on.I have seen it once, I do not know if I am man enough to watch it twice. It's not the happy -end stile, like 'Taken".It's very realistic, in the sense of the the famous Italian-neorealism.
I know well the location where it was filmed But I walked only at the surface of that land.It's a poor and rather uninhabited county,economically dead, lost somewhere between the end of Danube and the Black Sea.I used to go for sport fishing there. I did not realize what was strange there, above the solitude.Now I realize: I have seen characters like in the movie, but no girls or young and good looking women. But at news, once-twice/year , there are told stories about young girls missing, never to be found, or found drowned in the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Station Channel. The movie tells about an horrible form of manipulation, changing and twisting personality , that I find worse then physical or psychological violence. It's a sad story.The movie made me feel sick, like "Se7en".
A plus for the physical love scenes, absolutely realistic, equal to any other famous ones (maybe at the intensity of Last Tango in Paris, or Rocco And His Brothers). A+ for the main female character, B for the (lover)boy; must improve his talking, sounds artificial and obscurely.
The Book of Eli (2010)
Good movie , but not by itself
I liked the movie ....because it reminded me about some other very good ones; reference ones. And ageless directors.The first one is François Truffaut's "Farenheit 451"- the book-people, same end. The second very great director is the Russian Andrei Tarkovski with its "Stalker" and "Andrei Rubliov"-the same color code: black and white for bad and dead World, "true colors" for good right and living world .The closer to us movies are the Madmax series.Not to forget "Last man standing."Looking at Denzel's character survival techniques and behavior reminds my Bear Grill's ones, in Discovery channel documentary : 'Ultimate Survival". About the religion theme, I find it very brave for an American movie.Is rather unusual in American culture to mention the bad side of religion power and manipulation, including through the Bible,usually named (only) as "The Holly Bible". So, in my opinion, for a born-today spectator ,the movie would be rated 8-9/10. But 3-4 points are not its own ones...Maybe it's true life is given by Denzel Washington's and Mila Kunis' performances.
In Bruges (2008)
In Bruges
It seems long , but is only complete, round and with open final. Must be seen and re-seen.Is not about Bruges or Belgium, Bruges is only the scenery..I think is about life and- and, not vs.- death and even afterlife or parallel situations, redemption, healing, paying;Bruges here is a sort of portal.Or a string with hidden dimensions, or a "black whole" which does not allow you to go away.Or a purgatory.It reminds me "Jacob's Ladder", and "With Closed Doors"-I don't know the English title-J.P.Sartre's drama, the one with the idea: Hell is the others.I liked the movie because I found more levels:1- the touristic level ,the scenery ; as the title, it's only the teasing ;2 -the adventure-detective one , rather unexpected or expected, depends where you look from;3- the artistic one ;one part movie in movie(like in The American Night-Fr.Truffaut); other one, how the so called dead for centuries art becomes very connected with the happening;4. the religious/ moral level, what leaves us thinking.
