Finally i will write on a very recent production:)When i was doing my Bachelor i was so good at following what s going on in the present. I followed what was being screened in the movie theaters around the world as well as in Turkey very closely. I was a dedicated viewer of film festivals in Ankara. However i changed in the last couple of years and stopped being interested in the present. I moved to Sweden in 2008 and i guess that had an effect on this. It is a big deal to go to the movies or a concert in Sweden if you are a student living on a limited budget. It is four times more experience than it is in Turkey. Both this and also the film courses i was studying made me be more interested in the old films. Well... But now i am back in Turkey and kind of miss my old habits. I was curious about this 2010 film "The Social Network" (directed by David Fincher) telling the creation story of Facebook.
It won many awards already for the best leading actor, supporting actor, director, screenplay, best use of music and so on. Also it has Golden Globe nominations which i don't care.
I liked the film in general but i find it ordinary. There is nothing special about it. The acting is good especially the two main characters performed by Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield. I also liked the screenplay. It flows and the characters talk fast which i like. It is more musical. But I am not impressed by the use of music. I can say the same thing for the photography as well. In addition i especially did not like the row race scene at all. It has nothing to do with the rest of the film stylistically. It didn't make any sense to me.
Well... to sum up i can say that it was fun to watch and i recommend but i didn't find it impressive.
love,
Şeyda

i agree. it was nice to watch because of the topic. it inspired me on my own projects at least :)
ReplyDeletei found the transitions between the scenes really poor. it was difficult to follow.
also the music in one of the scenes in the beginning; the scene Mark breaks up with Erica and runs back to his room, creates a scary atmosphere where it should be sth more like an excitement or maybe anger.
i cannot watch movies anymore
ReplyDeleteit is a recent phenomenon that has been told and shared by many people: too many sitcoms and that kind of short movies make people uncomfortable watching normal movies
i am unable to sit down for 1.5 hours if i want to watch something i usually divide it into sections, watch and go eat, do sth else even sleep and come back to finish it
but i was able to finish eat,pray and love just because it was colorful and full of italian food
ReplyDeletewell Selen,
ReplyDeletei actually feel in the same way. Don t wanna sit down even for an hour especially in the lecture. It s killin me But gotta do it. But for food:) i sit down for hours:) u know what i miss... cookin with friends and being calm when i m doin that.
i dont think it deserved the golden globe for best motion picture and screenplay ...i think it was weak in expressing why facebook grow so much, why people love it and how it effected and transformed people's lives. It is weird that a movie about a social network dont include the people who made it so social :) if i were them i would definetely add some user interviews, really fast and dynamic, on why they like facebook.
