BOF Posted September 16, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2015 Y'know what I mean though. I tend to have a far lower opinion of it than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I think it's one of those things that you're not supposed to criticise it but like everything else the book is a lot better, it goes in to a lot more detail about his character, his bribery days, drinking, womanising, gambling and profiteering, the film touches on all of these but doesn't really show what a good life he had at the start of the war and iirc doesn't really say anything about who he was before and after the war, which was an unsuccessful nobody reallyIt's a decent film, fiennes is absolutely superb in it but to me it says a fair bit about the Jews, fair bit which maybe isn't right about Schindler and then a lot about the nazis being absolute bastards, it doesn't make any attempt to explore why other than deep rooted anti semitism which isn't necessarily the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2015 I think the Pianist is a way better movie.But then again Polanski > Spielberg.We can agree on this one. The Pianist is one of my favourite ever films, certainly my favourite film about the war. Heart wrenching, from all directions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted September 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2015 Pacific Rim 2 has probably been binned.I was surprised it got this far tbh.. I like the first fun for some schlocky nonsense trading on nostalgia for Kaiju movies, but financially it didn't do well enough to justify big bucks on a sequel.

tonyh29 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 The Spandau version of The Krays was on TV last night On reflection Legend is miles better .... the sound effects of Martin Kemp punching 2 guys into his Car were embarrassingly bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Everest is very good. I didn't actually know any of the real life details going into the film so I was insanely anxious in the build up to the disaster bit. Score was a bit over wrought at times though was mostly very effective in keeping you tense, along with all the usual shots of mountains which remind me why I definitely don't do mountains, and Jason Clarke is particularly excellent, but all round the cast are pretty fine. I don't think it breaks any mould in these types of films, but it's very good at what it does. Was fascinating to see how much of it was actually true, including a particularly emotive bit the conversations between Hall and his wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooligan Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 From Hell (2001 Not the best film i have ever seen for sure ,but i enjoyed watching it and is worth a look .It is more or less Jack The Ripper with a different name .I thought was really good in it 710 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 It may be a masterpiece of film making. But it failed to remotely entertain me. Honestly thought it was awful.If there's one film I could have erased from my mind, I probably pick Boyhood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
