Reviews

From time to time I watch some movies just like gattaca. Everytime I watch I either refresh my memory or find something revealing. I call those movies puzzles. I do not think gattaca could be compared to blade runner.I wanted to say because I read some of the reviews.Could not be compared because both tells different spectrum of the future, gattaca is more like bound to history,many references to history or the time present now, blade runner is totally future and its world is completely different. I checked wikipedia and wikipedia says Vincent saves Anton on the last race by following celestial map while swimming back on their backs.I always think Vincent lures Anton to murder and Anton dies.Because after that scene I do not see any sign as to Anton is alive. I always remember the scene while Vincent look at the start and swim back and dead Anton is in his arms.I take this ill sacrifice of Vincent, because Vincent passes the road, it is more like suicide and of course Jerome.Everything happens to Vincent is like that never stopping soundtrack.

Four persons life somehow interconnected even if 9 years already passed.Graham's one key theory tells his all misery which is similar to Ann's life.Johns backstabbing rage ends up with Graham's Elizabeth who is all about what happened Graham through all those years. John is a kind of key to connect all those 3 people to tell their story. Soderberg dives deep in humans nature when Cynthia tells her perverse thrill when she wants to sleep at her sisters bed and again John's guilty regret when he tells Graham he had an affair with Elizabeth that he would not know this much damage would do to him. Graham's one key theory is Ann's unhappy marriage, this key is literally a key that tell unhappy story of those people. And guilt.Even Ann has that guilt which is lightly covered with lies, even if those lines are told to yourself. Soderbergs movies have always a dark side to human nature which we see all day around and that weird guy in the bar makes those conversations which are not dull at all. Sex is chosen because I guess it is most controversial and repressed issue which makes it darker and needless to say makes part of human nature.By the way videotaping or just recording is something you should try, even with talking to yourself or to someone else.It is revolutionary.

You should look closely at their profile, their jobs especially.One is a doctor from the Harvard university which is called ivy league in the US I guess.The other two women, one is also from the Harvard and academic and other one is a student at the Harvard.I think this is important aside from their inventions which last decades because their fight against society and religion, which I gather from fascist/catholics discussion.I just find them brave and wonder whether they would imagine their lives would be told years later after their death today.The irony is what they invented or created touched other people even if they were punished by them as well.But they were punished for what they chose to do. What would happen if those people even did not exist and even if what they created or invented did not exist? Would people today lose anything in their lives? I admire this kind of people, state,society,religion, they do not give up and fight for what they believe. "Believe in something even if it means sacrificing everything"

Clint Eastwood is a great man for cinema.It is an excellent idea to tell the story of a war from two different sides which are the sides of this war.He uses many ways to show us how ugly the face of the war is.That ugly face may force you to kill an innocent dog before the eyes of little children,that ugly face may force soldiers to kill surrendered enemy soldiers,and the worst the commander may force you to suicide with a grenade instead of fighting the enemy.This is a strong movie.I don't see any sign of heroism in the movie,but lots of drama and sad heartbreaking stories.I think Eastwood wants audience to notice the drama side of the war through the lives of individuals.I didn't watch American version yet.But Eastwood is very brave and honest to make such a movie.

a very strong story.at the beginning I think there's two separate story line.when Sylvia calls the lying man Santiago everything falls into its place.There is something I find not plausible.when Mariana lets pipe loose what does she think will happen? obviously it's gonna blow entire trailer.this aside, movie tells a woman's life who is gonna have to face his past which she tries to escape all her life.she kills her mother and her lover.she keeps this secret herself and tries to cope with this by sleeping every man she meets which is a way of hiding her guilt.she also tries to share this guilt by burning his hand with her mother's lover son.Just to make her history to present a sign of love.however it is in reality not a love, a guilt.she tries to hurt himself escaping being loved by a man.she can't bear this pain and leaves his baby with his father behind.she maybe treats her baby a product of this guilt.when she learns her daughter had a scar when she was 3 years old she later asks her forgiveness,feeling that guilt again.this movie is full of drama.it takes you from a woman's life who had breast cancer to another woman's life who had killed her own mother just to punish.Afterwards she tries to punish herself.movie ends without a resolution.I wonder whether she's gonna tell him how she killed her own mother and his father? the father of her daughter? even her daughter?
