Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982)
The Wall is Your Wall
I remember years ago, the time that in my country the only magazine that could be called a 'cinema" magazine described the film like one of the ten absolutely terrible rock movies. Then I stopped reading this magazine. Alan Parker's film is going straight to the heart and also straight to the living hell inside people minds. It's a superb work that spoke with images and lyrics. It's the revolutionary film of the ugly decade of 80's. At the same time it's a poetic and strongly deep film with a touch of humanity. Waters and Parker attack with powerful elements to the English way of thinking at the period. We are bricks. If we don't break our personal wall we will remain bricks. We are human creatures when we try to break the Wall. The animation scenes are more than art and the messages of the film give to the audience the opportunity to think. Anti- War, Anti- Nazi, deep sensitive film and a rock star with the name Pink. The real name of him is Mr. Isolation. I loved it. A real masterpiece and cinematic experience.
The Tarnished Angels (1957)
The Tarnished Angels
The Tarnished Angels is a pure melodrama. Black and White excellent cinematography and good performances from all the cast. That's the Douglas Sirk way. Building the story with strong elements and hidden lines about the American way of life and the bitter behind the curtain. The man is a master. Melodrama is a Greek word so you have to know what exactly means. There is a big difference between melodrama and "melo". The film is a masterpiece. Sirk was a director with strong elements of morality. The region 2 DVD from Universal is in very good condition. No extras. The film has guts. The plot is not as simple as it seems with the first view. The scenes with the airplane "battles" are so fast and full of adrenalin. A trio of losers, an alcoholic but deep moralist journalist, a kid with an only friend that was called loneliness and a mindless woman make this film unforgettable. Highly recommended.
