Blabbing about: Sunrise: A song of two humans (1927)

Hello!

So, I first knew about this film when I was browsing through a
blu-ray website when it came up as a recommendation.
(Yes...same as before haha)
And...Same as always, I fell in love with the
Blu-ray Jacket(Or cover?).
I do judge movies with the cover don't I?

The Blu-ray cover which I Saw.

OK, so here we go with the very short review.
(yes....very, very short and boring as always)

Warning: May contain spoilers!




Sunrise: A song of two humans (1927)
Drama/Romance

So I will start of by saying that......
I loved this film so much! it was extremely
beautiful and everything was so..uh..so amazing.
I fell in love.

Yes, I thought the special effects were
AMAZING. I thought that this was one of those
films you understand the meaning and the
greatness after you have finished viewing it.
I've only watched it once and urgently want to
watch it again.
And, since I watched it on DVD this time,
It has to be on Blu-ray next time!



The romance between the man and the wife was
so beautiful and I did cry at the scene where the man
breaks down when they saw a wedding.
I love that scene so much.
(Silent melodramas are amazing, aren't they?)

Oh yes, and one thing that I thought was..
Well, I can't say that I've seen many silent films
but the title cards in this film seemed kind of
different from other ones I have seen.
I wonder why? well, this isn't important isn't it.

Yes, This scene.

I loved all the scenes in "Sunrise".
Oh man.. I....seriously...need to watch again...ahhh.
I know that I am going to cry hard out next time ahaha.
I think this film would always make me happy.

And, one thing I would like to say s that I thought the
special feature in the DVD was amazing!
I thought it explained everything so perfectly.
(well,duh.) It definitely deepened my understanding of
this film.

Overall, It was such a lovely, tender and romantic film.
It was utterly flawless in every way possible.
(I love that fact that everything was so simple..
The characters didn't even have names.)

oh man... I don't have the brain (or vocabulary)
to explain the greatness of this film!!!I'm so sorry!!

One of the most romantic scenes I have seen on film.
Uh...makes me cry. 

But...one thing I am sure about this film is that
I will have a different opinion every time I watch it.
I definitely don't understand the whole..
what it is called? amazing-ness,
 (wait, is that even a word? lol)
completely, yet.(Well, of course.
After all, I am still just 16 years old.)

If someday, I turn out to be"The wife"(well...hopefully.)
I think I will have a completely different view on this whole film.
And when I am like, 80 I will have a completely different
view as well. I fell like I can watch it film for my entire life actually.

Favorite scene:
When the Man and the wife is getting their
picture taken, and they think that they have broken off
and lost the head of a sculpture that was in the room.

I need to watch more silent melodramas...
What are some other great films? I need to look
for one sometime.

"This song of the Man and his Wife is 

of no place and every place; 

you might hear it anywhere, at any time.

For wherever the sun rises and sets, 

in the city's turmoil or under the open sky on the farm, 

life is much the same; sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet."

Blabbing about: Dawn of the dead (1978)

(This film has so many awesome poster designs!)

Hello!

So... I watched "Night of the living dead"
a while ago (The review was my first post on this blog)
and really enjoyed it and loved it and was always
interested in the next film from the "Living dead" trilogy
(or series? I'm actually not too sure.) 

But..The film just seemed too gory for my tastes
and I felt like I should watch it when I am more
confident...haha, because I am EXTREMELY
bad with blood/gore (as I have said in the previous post)
I do LOVE horror films, but I have completely no
interest in gory, (or should I say "gorror?") bloody,
splatter films. I mainly love psychological horror films.

So..."Dawn of the dead" was always in my..
what is it called, like a "Watch sometime later on"
list..BUT.....

I have no idea why but I really felt like I wanted to
watch like a action/horror film and I thought that
"Dawn of the dead" was the one.
So I HAD to watch it.
I didn't mind about the gore, and just thought that..
I will just, you know, cope and if it's too bad just give up haha.

OK, so let's go onto the review shall we!

Warning: May contain spoilers!



Dawn of the dead (1978)
Action/Horror

I feel like I say this every time but I thought
this film was absolutely AMAZING!
It was so much more then I expected.
I have so much things to say about this film since
I love it so much!

OK, but I don't want to be blabbing about
random sh!t for too long so I will just say the
important bits that I want to comment on
one by one.

I think the first thing I want to say is this film
was such a perfect blend of comedy
(Or should I say comic?) and horror.
I did have a couple of good laughs, and the 
amazing special effects and the make up, the music, 
the plot, the cast... even the color of blood was PERFECT.
(The music was really great! like, the ending
was amazing! haha)

Another thing I loved about this film was,
yes, the characters!

When I usually think of modern zombies films,
I image the female lead to be some kind of a
extremely-sexy-tanned-strong young woman
that is wearing a bikini or some sort of clothing
that shows a lot of skin.
(Here goes my random imagination lol)
And I do not like that.

Anyway, I loved how there was only 4 main
characters. I loved them all!
I just REALLY loved the heroine- Francine.
She was very strong, in a quiet and gentle way.



Compare her fashion with the heroines in
Zombie movies now days haha.
Ugh, I love her so much.
But, my favorite character is Peter, of course.
He was awesome as hell.
(And Roger..WHY DID YOU DIEEEE ahhhhh....)

Sexy Peter.

OK...maybe I should talk about the zombies now..
I thought that they were really awesome!
By watching this I thought that..zombies don't have to have
their eyeballs poking out or their guts falling off,
and all of those things are completely unnecessary.
(Well.. I thought this when watching "Night of the living dead"
too but) Are people trying to make things TOO gory
these days? I think that this film has nothing that
is unnecessary and is flawless.

And... for the gore... It was actually
completely fine for me, which was unexpected lol.
Yes..some stupid people might say it's campy and
tame in today's standards.. but fu#k you.
(there, I said it haha)
I hate it so much when people say that.
Nothing has to be realistic, it's only a film after all.

Overall, I REALLY enjoyed this film
and loved it so much! I would definitely watch it
again but I'm pretty sure that I will not
watch any other films of this genre(Zombies,action)
Because I think this film is too perfect, and I
personally think it doesn't get any better then this.
(Well, for me. I think I wouldn't enjoy any other
zombie films as much as this.)

To be honest, I don't have any interest in zombie movies.
I have never had. I don't really get the point!
But... I LOVE "Night of the living dead" and
"Dawn of the dead". So there's that! haha.


Oh yeah,
I found this photo of a video tape jacket
when it was released in Japan but...

















How freaking scary as that?!
(Especially the"back"..)
This VHS jacket is more terrifying then
the movie itself (Maybe)
And...I kinda think the international title,
"Zombie" is weird..
I like "Dawn of the dead" better.

Favorite scene:
I loved everything, but maybe the fun parts
when the characters are going around the
mall getting free stuff.
Ugh.. that will be so cool if I can do that..
But zombies.. how about no.


"Jesus, it's everywhere."

Blabbing about: Alien (1979)

Hello!

I knew about this film because..well,
It's an famous classic and most people will
at least know the title right?
And..I've always had the DVD (which was
included in a set) but I never had the..
guts to watch it. I thought that it will be scary as hell.
But....I don't know why but recently I've
been feeling like watching a horror film
and decided to give it a go.
I was always interested but too scared,
But since, now I knew I bit more about the film
(Didn't even want to know but well, there's
the internet with spoilers everywhere)
So, lets get onto the review shall we.

Warning: May contain spoilers!



Alien(1979)
Action/Horror

The first thing I thought about this film is yes,
the special effects. The special effects/make up
along with the set design was AMAZING!
I really wonder how they did all those...
(I would love to see a "Making of" but
unfortunately it wasn't included in the special features.
I love "making of"s. By the way my favorite "making of"
documentary will be the one for "The Shining".)
And, the Alien costume was amazing as well!
UGH, I love it.

For the plot, I thought it was really interesting,
but as I said before, just browsing though a pop culture
website can come up with either the "Face-hugger"
reference or that baby-alien-coming-out-of-body
reference. I knew about those two so I can't say
I got any surprises or shock but it was still
extremely frighting... Yes,as I said, the SFX was
AMAZING. (It will all be CGI now days, right? ugh.)
The scene where one of the character's (Can't remember
names) head ripped off was amazing...
(man how many times do I need to use that word lol)
That REALLY freaked me out ahaha.
ugh....that moment his head started talking again...ahhh

And..yes, I thought everything else like the
cast,directing,acting, was great too!


This is kind of out of topic and I think I have said this before
but I FU#KING HATE IT when people think
classic horror film's special effects are campy and tame,
in "Today's standards".
What the fu#k is "Today's standards" anyway?
When someone says something like "This movie used
to be really scary in the olden days but with the
technology we got, it's even looks humorous"
UM, WHAT? fu#k you.(oh man...I need to be more lady-like.)
Did you event CGI? Are you working in the movie industry bitch?
(Shut up lol) I always think this, but just because you were born
later then some people, it doesn't mean you are superior.
Just watching a film doesn't make you any better.
I personally think that older horror films are more "Horrific"
many,many times more then modern ones.
Because modern films are just re-creating older ones with
more "Realistic" scenes right?
I always think this, but "better" technology doesn't
mean better films. It's almost the opposite.(well,duh.)
Think about the 1933 King Kong compared to the 2005 one.
I love the 1933 one and thought it was very, very well done,
but Hollywood will NEVER do anything like that again, ever.
(Well, of course.)

OK, enough with my bitching.
I'm done. #phew.

Man...I talked so long for something that was 
nothing got to do with Alien haha.
How the hell did I get to King Kong? lol.



Well, in conclusion, I really enjoyed this film
and the special effects were absolutely amazing.
This film never bored me and I will definitely watch again.

Favorite scene:
Do I even have one? haha.
Hmm.... but since I loved the SFX I would say
any scenes involving the special effects, the Alien
and the make ups (even though I did no like it haha.)
Or just the final scene where the Alien is flying
into space.

I want to wear that Alien suit.





"You are my lucky star...
You lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky...."
