Traquée

Traquée Seven oN ★ 6

Great potential, both in theme/premise (how to love and forgive yourself) and execution. However, though conveying the theme/premise without the use of words sounds interesting, here it felt very unnatural and forced. Also, it left too much unexplained, which may have been on purpose, but too much of anything is never a good thing. The same goes for the middle part: about an hour of run-hide-run-hide repetitions.  So enjoyable enough but it didn’t quite realise its potential. 0
Sound of Freedom

Sound of Freedom Seven oN ★ 8

Very powerful, though heartbreaking and heavy movie with an important message. Those children(’s acting) really touched my heart and soul. The message at the end though was not necessary imo. Also it’s an incomplete message. I can understand they want to raise awareness of how big of a problem child trafficking is, children being used in the sex industry and the need for law enforcement from different countries working together better, but what can I /we do as “simple citizens”?? Also, the leading actor and perhaps the agent his character is based on, seem to be problematic. The actor has been a prominent promoter of the false, violent QAnon conspiracy theory. The formal federal agent the character is based on as well as the film distributor reject any of the conspiracy theories. Though apparently the agent has recently said that (the abduction and killing of children for) the harvesting of a substance called adrenochrome, is real. The movie itself however has nothing to do with QAnon, it does not have any references to any conspiracy theories and was even filmed before QAnon started (source: NPR). Another criticism is the amount of fictionalization of the true events. As if Ballard would be able to take up a whole crime syndicate on his own. The studio acknowledges taking "creative liberties."(source: NPR). Well, no surprise there. This isn’t the only studio doing this and they never made the claim that this was a documentary instead of a (dramatized) movie based on true events. So imo still a good movie and most definitely worth the watch. 0
Chappie

Chappie Seven oN ★ 8

Wow, so many themes, thoughts and emotions , just don’t know where to start… A small selection: - The impact of upbringing on the “clean slate” of a new borne.  - The impact of social and economic status on life style and upbringing. - The inner vs the outer self, being different, being judged because of your outer self and being different. And being hurt just because of that, and despite having a beautiful inner self. I cried so much for Chappie! - It’s not all black and white, even when talking about crimes, good vs evil. I laughed, I cried, I even came to love the “gangsta’s”.  Loved how the love and goodness of Chaplin changed even Ninja. He not only got to know love but got to protect “his child”. His last a sorry was a true, heart felt one. 💜 0
Suzume

Suzume Seven oN ★ 8

Such a beautiful movie, beautiful in all its aspects. It touches on so many meaningful themes. How bonds are formed. How loss is processed. How to reach your inner child (search the door!) to give comfort, given all it’s been through/all it will have to go through. Loved how the circle was completed: Suzume had a feeling she’d seen Souta before. Because she had: when her older self waves goodbye to her younger self. Then enhancing this bond by their joint adventures while saving the world, their care for each other. And then that imagery, just astonishing! I just felt sad that Daijin “couldn’t be her cat”…. 0

L'Exorciste 2 : L’Hérétique Seven oN ★ 7

Ok, is it as good as the original? No. The acting feels less authentic, more theatrical. I often didn’t understand Dr. Gene’s choices. Nor did I fully understand the (why so small) part that Sharon played. The original movie simply was more eerie and engrossing, a classical example of less being more. Was it bad then? No! It has good cinematography and an interesting plot. I enjoyed it and I’m actually looking forward to watching the third movie! 0
