Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Bloody hell, I definitely need to change that title! Feel free to jump in with some opinions. It has been a while since my last review but with the work and the graphic design course that I am taking right now, it's been a bit difficult to focus on this site as well but, I am hoping that things will simmer down a bit. 

So, this movie has been anticipated since it was announced and, if you are a true Queen fan you will surely appreciate this movie, not for the story but for the music and the acting. Why do I say not for story? Well, because I expected that with a very famous band like Queen and his more famous lead singer, the story will be presented different like in the other biopics that I have seen across the years and I have seen many. Unfortunately, the movie goes by the rule of '' if it's not broken why not use it'' and that is the main problem of the movie because it uses the exact same recipe from other movies that came before it. And because of that, the movie is predictable, if you don't know the story of how the band got together, cliched and very familiar, which diminishes the quality which is a bloody shame.

But, it's not all bad because the movie redeems itself with a couple of greatest hits from Queen, some great directing, extraordinary performances, Rami Malek especially because he becomes Freddie Mercury, apart from a couple of times where the interpretation was a bit uneven. The gem, however, is the last 20 minutes of the movie, with the Live Aid concert from '85 which is the main reason, in my opinion, to see this movie on the big screen because, first of all, it looks amazing, the recreation of that is unbelievable, it's like you are watching the concert live and second of all, the audio sounds fantastic so great job in sound design and special effects. 

Overall, it's not the movie that I was expecting, they did not dive in more deeply into Freddie Mercury's sexuality, just briefly, it has some good humor, which I enjoyed, great music, great performances but the familiarity of the story damages the whole end product. Instead of some great hits we got some OK medley. 7/10

OK guys, that is my review for this one. Next up, Grindelwald is up to something in Crimes of Grindelwald. Review coming tomorrow. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

In The Mood For Love Movie Review

Imagine
In the Mood for Love(O iubire imposibilă-2000)-Regia:Kar Wai Wong Comentariu:Filmul “In the Mood for Love” regizat de către Kar Wai Wong este un film frumos şi mai ales poetic. Ȋn ceea ce priveşte acţiunea nu este foarte ofertant, dar compensează în domeniul stărilor şi emoţiilor pe care acest film vrea să le suprindă. Filmul prezintă o anumită lentoare şi repetitivitate a scenelor, de la mişcările personajelor la curgerea timpului. Este o dramă neaşteptată, plină de-o emoţie şi-o culoare deosebită, iar puterea filmului vine din tensiunea acumulată pe parcurs stingându-se în scorbura unui copac, unde bărbatul îşi lasă toate amintirile. Cele două personaje nu au măsura timpului iar iubirea lor îi menţine într-o stare atemporală, vraja neputând fi ruptă decât prin prefacere sau negare, aceste lucruri ducând la o despărţire totală. Ȋn concluzie filmul merită văzut dar e nevoie de-o răbdare şi-o sensibilitate enormă pentru a te adapta acelui ritm şi a trece dincolo de coaja lucrur

Remembering Carrie Fisher (1956 - 2016)

Imagine
Carrie Fisher Tribute Man, this year, 2016, continues to deliver us untimely deaths of celebrities and,  tuesday, we find out that Carrie Fisher has passed away. A very sad moment, especially for those who grow up with her and the Star Wars movies. Of course, her most memorable role was Princess Leia in the Star Wars saga but she was also a true activist, humanitarian and writer. This is just the worst and I can't believe she has left this world. It is a shocking news and I still can't believed it. R.I.P. Carrie Fisher, you will be missed.

Wind River (2017) Movie Review

Wind River (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! For today, I have prepared three new reviews for three movies, one was good and the other two not so much. So let's start with the good one and I mean this one, of course. If you have seen "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water" and you enjoy watching those movies you will certainly enjoy this one as well. And it is based on real events so it has that reality based element, which is going to make you appreciate this movie even more. It's smartly written, beautifully executed, with the environment playing a big part in inducing the viewer into the chilling atmosphere of the story. It's dramatic, filled with emotions, suspense and thrills and it will keep you invested from beginning to end. It has a fast pace and, although it has it slower moments, it does not get boring. On the contrary, it becomes more interesting. Love the cast, great cast and, of course, great performances
