Awsome Cinema Viewing
15 years ago
I went to the Cinema last night with my sister to see two very awosme films!
The first one we had planned to see for a while - it was the restored version of Metropolis. It was greally great! I had never seen a silent movie before, but this was really good. This and the fact it was black and white allowed for a whole array of filming techniques that you couldn't pull off these days. It felt very artistic, and because you could sort of see the flesh and bones of how they made it all, you could really apriciate all the effort that went in to making it. I'de recommend anyone to go see it~
the second film we went to see was more of a spontanious decision - it was a late night showing of 'Brasil'. This movie was very strange indeed XD awsome, though. Its set in a dystopian future where paperwork entangles every aspect of society. The emence feeling of the frustration and pointlessness of beurocracy really comes through in it - something that chimes well with me, since red tape is a cardenal hatred of mine. Although thourogly depressing, I would also recoment it to anyone who gets the chance to see it ^^

FA+

I've heard many great things about Metropolis, I read Empire a lot and it's in their quite often always with a 5 star rating.
Well, I guess this will be one more great thing to have heard about metropolis :D its definatly worth seeing.
I've yet to see the restored Metropolis, but a guy from work has been talking about seeing it.
Brazil has such a great cast - have to love the surprise appearance of Robert De Niro. I love seeing how Ian Holm's character - being well aware of the issues of the bureaucracy around him - carefully avoids involving himself directly.
