I feel I will soon stop watching award-winning films at Cannes. And so I knew from childhood that they were only given to the craziest movies, the silent, the slow, the boring, the mind wrapped, that didn't even show in theaters, because the crap wouldn't pay off anyway. But as an adult, I was convinced of this again when I started watching movies. Recently, "Melancholia" looked - what is there, that there are boring people sitting here, lamenting their bored life and abstruse shit in space in parallel is happening. Yes, I love philosophy, but I understand philosophy – when you are picked up on the stream of thought and led through images to conclusions, you can then agree with them or not, but you are provided with catharsis and you see what the author specifically worked on. And not a fool chased, filming some incomprehensible crowd of people in slow motion walking along the ocean barefoot, looking at the sky and kissing each other's hands. Who are all these people???? What are these two-and-a-half hours of kids running around and starbursts? Kitsch looks like it. On the verge of thrashing. The duration is like a powerful epic, and of these 139 minutes, about 100 show how people water their heels on the lawn, how the boys in the pool swim, stick a finger into the barrel of a gun, tie a toad to a firecracker. Read the information - it turned out to be the director of his biography up to every gesture in the frame of vanity. Who wants it?
By the way, Wikipedia says:
At the premiere in Cannes, the film was booed, which, however, did not prevent it from receiving the main award – the Golden Palm Branch and high ratings of film critics.
Do you understand? I mean, it turns out it's a decision there made by the ass. They booed him.
I also hated seeing Brad Pitt as a despotic, violent, crazy father. It doesn’t suit him, we’re used to seeing him well.
Are there any pros? Yes, I liked the camera work, lighting, paint. The camera is very alive and travels for any action, which in fact only drowning the viewer in its movement and light saves everything. Also pleased completely heroin trips in the abyss of the universe and the world of dinosaurs, which frankly to say ... no need here.
