fucked up film: the piano teacher (2001)

the piano teacher is a french film about erika, a piano teacher, who has a very low self esteem and is a huge twat. no joke. i had a teacher awhile ago who acts and looks exactly like her. always unhappy and never satisfied with anything. erika seems to have a lot of issues. she cuts herself and sleeps in the same bed as her mom. anyway, a young man named walter is really attracted to erika and wants to get lessons just to win her over. the thing about erika is that she has dark fetishes. she goes to sex shops and watches young kids get it on at drive in theaters. she also wants to be hit by walter while theyre having sex. SPOILER ALERT walter isnt cool with it so at the end he punishes her by raping her. in a way, i think she had it coming for the way she was treating him but michael haneke is a sick fuck who makes you believe into that lie. i wish i could say more but i would have to write 5 parts for this review cause this movie is really fucking good.

easy rider (1969)

for the longest time i've wanted to check out this film and i finally did and oh man it was a let down. it starts out with peter fonda and dennis hopper doing coke supplied by a bunch of mexicans then the rest of the film is just riding motorcycles, smoking pot, talking about nonsense, going to new orleans with jack nicholson, doing lsd, bitching, getting shot by hicks. whoops i just spoiled the film.

i feel like the ending was so half-assed. peter fonda and dennis hopper are just riding along the highway and these hicks in a truck go "HEH HEH LETS SCARE THEM" so they shoot dennis hopper, peter fonda freaks out and leaves to find help while the hicks come back and shoot his motorcycle and explodes. NOT COOL

i liked the part when they were tripping out on lsd. it had some good cinematography but every movie looked cool in the 60s right?

peter fonda looks just like nick mccarthy from franz ferdinand. just saying..

5.5 OUT OF 10

life is sweet (1991)

life is sweet is a really great film by mike leigh. a while ago i did a review on his film naked which ill probably watch again since i was too daft to understand what was going on.

life is sweet is about a middle class family in north london. the parents are exactly like mine. they laugh at everything and always pull their "i know everything about life and you dont" card. the daughters nicola and natalie are really interesting characters. natalie is a plummer whos a bit of a know it all and is fascinated by america. nicola is an arrogant chain smoker who struggles with bulimia.

there is not much of a plot line like most mike leigh films but every character is so realistic and fascinating. i think the purpose of the film is trying to show how life can be fun and exciting but incredibly hard at times. its up to you to make life worthwhile. (i know that was deep)

1 OUT OF 10

closet land (1991)

this movie was a mind fuck. i just finished watching it and i dont really understand the ending but ill try to make sense of it as i go along with the summary.

it starts off with alan rickman, a goverment interrogator whos trying to get this children book writer to say that her book "closet land" has anarchist messages for children. the book is about a child who is locked in a closet in punishment for bad behavior by her mother. while the child is in the closet, she makes friends with a bunch of animals who comfort her. the interrogator thinks this idea is showing anarchism to naive children. (SPOILER ALERT) which is not the case when we find out she was abused as a child by some man and the closet is a form of escapism. the man turns out to be the interrogator which left me wondering how did she not figure that out by his face or his voice.

the film leaves us questioning if the government should use inhumane and brutal torture to receive confessions from victims. if want to watch a movie that makes you think, check out closet land. the entire movie is up on youtube. if you read youtube comments, you'll notice that most people would enjoy to be tortured by severus snape.
