I Spit on Your Grave

So, I watched the original one.

Wow! Lol

There are a lot f similarities, but this is quite different, I thought.

The story is, of course, similar, but not quite the same.

The original is more realistic although the flow of the story (why they guys decides to rape her) is not as natural as the re-make one.

It is more realistic because of the way she revenges.

The original one focuses on her hatred toward the guys, which is described very well.

Her facial expression changes after the incident.

Also the original one spends more time on showing how she gets raped, which might make you feel bad because it keeps going for long time.

It is hard to watch, yet it enables you to share her feeling .

The re-make one focuses on how she tortures the rapers instead of sharing her feeling with the audience, so I was convinced by her clear purpose and almost understood why she revenges the way she does.

I liked both original one and re-make one, but I liked original one better since I could see her humanity and its purpose more clearly

I Spit on Your Grave(2010)

WOW!

I did not feel good after watching this movie at all lol

But I think this is a good horror movie though because you are not supposed to feel happy after watching a horror movie, right? lol

So, this movie succeeded the purpose of a horror movie in this sense because this is the kind of story everyone gets scared of.

There is no ghosts or psycho killers, there is a girl who is hurt.

But she is changed, which is not her fault.

Her facial expression changes so much after the affair, which was impressive and scared.

I also like the camera movement.

Hand-held camera is one of the typical camera movement in horror movies, but it does show up only when it's necessary in this movie, I thought.

There are some scenes I did not like just because they aren't violent enough.

I mean, this is very violent and bloody, yet this movie is supposed to be an extreme one, right?

So, I was a little disappointed by the very brief torture scenes.

But i think this is a good horror movie overall.

I do not recommend to watch it with your girlfriend though!

This is a remake one, but I will watch the original and post about it for sure.

Human Cetipede

I was little disappointed when I saw this movie like cheap horror movies, but wow!

I was very surprised!

I have no idea who the hell came up with this idea lol

This is a really silly messed up story, but still I am very impressed lol

It was an interesting movie in a sense because you definitely remember this lol

Of course, I don't say this is a good movie, it is just interesting and different.

I don't think everyone enjoys this movie, but I'm pretty sure certain kind of people will love this movie!

I cannot even believe that there is second one.

I don't think I am one of those who love this kind of movies, but I'm very curious what the second one is like.

Anyway, as I said, this is pretty fucked up.

The acting and the mood of the movie are just like horror movies you have seen, I would say.

I think the creepy mood is well created, but there are a lot of movies like that.

Especially, there are a few characters, which somehow made me feel watching cheap horror movie.

Also the setting is quite similar to other horror movies.

Nothing really special in this movie, but the idea.

This movie follows the "rules of horror movie", so it is not too special, which I expects to be better somehow in the second one.

I was impressed by the idea, but I was not impressed by the movie as a whole.

I guess it is a good movie to talk about with you friends because it is so messed up, but I would not watched it again because nothing makes me want to watch it again.

Sex and Lucia

I was thinking this movie will be a comedy with lots of sexuality.

I was wrong and I was right lol

There are a lot of sexuality, but it is not comedy.

You probably get really confused in half way, but everything becomes very clear suddenly.

I really liked this kind of story development.

I enjoyed the confusion, for it can be solved little by little.

The relationships of the characters are quite unique since there is the distance between them, but this distance represents their deep sadness and makes them realistic even though you think it does not happen in real life.

There are lots of beautiful scenery including female naked body lol

Nude creates erotic mood at the same time it represents their passion, I think.

Figures of women are very weird since they are really passionate with wild sex for some reason.

I believe the title represents this idea lol

IMDB

Buried

This movie basically has only on character.

You hear people's voices, but you don't see them.

You only see a guy who somehow ended up with being buried alive and struggling to get out from the coffin.

The setting is quite interesting.

I don't think you get frustrated by watching him in the coffin because he probably does whatever you think he should do eventually.

This movie got me really interested.

Because I expected that there were so many hints that are relevant to the truth.

You can actually guess millions of things from the conversations he has on the cell phone he finds.

I didn't like the ending much because I feel some questions are not solved

But you will enjoy this movie if you don't care small details.

In fact, I really enjoyed.

The tension is created very well.

You actually share the same experience with the character, Paul, because what you see is what he sees; you don't see anything else, which I thought is really interesting way to make a movie.

The structure fits the story quite well.

Also the acting is very good.

You might get annoyed just because he is the only character you see, and he is panicked, but I think his acting creates the tension and represents the mentality of being buried lol

The Kids Are Alright

As usual, I did not know what this movie is about lol

I expected that it would be a normal family drama like a ordinary family gets into some troubles, they solve the problems somehow, and they reconfirm they love each other.

My expectation was betrayed in the very beginning because they are not normal family.

The parents are lesbians.

So, they don't have a father, which interested me for a while.

The setting was very interesting just because it was new for me.

But that was it, to be honest.

If you have watched enough movies, you can predict the ending.

It isn't too complicated.

Probably that is what the movie trying to tell us; they are not different, they only have a different form of family.

I think the acting was very good, so you still enjoy this movie unless you expect something very different lol

Besides, it asks you some philosophical questions such as what does father or mother mean?

If you have a biological connection, does that mean you are family?

Since they are lesbians, it is quite hard to define.

Not sure whether this movie answers this question, yet I believe that there is something more important than biological connection.

Well, I promise that next post will not be about gay movie lol

I was kind of aware that I have watched movies about homosexuality a bit too much lol

IMDB

Short Bus

Probably you have heard about this movie because this is very famous in a sense.

What made this movie famous is the representation of sexuality in it.

It is very direct.

You actually see people having sex.

Yes, it is part of acting.

There are a lot of sexuality including homosexuality.

But what they have in common is that all of them face their sexuality very seriously.

It might not be important for you if you cannot understand their positions.

However, you can probably understand why they struggle so much because the emotional expressions are so great in this movie.

And I believe that obvious sexuality has an important role.

I don't mean I understand how it feels like than be a gay or anything, but it is more fundamental as a human being, which makes this movie so interesting.

And I think that is why this movie has such a direct sexual expression so that the undamental humanity can be depicted more vividly.

This movie is great if you don't mind watching strong aspects of homosexuality.

If you do have stereotypes or bias towards homosexuality, this movie might be a good one because you probably understand that they are "same" as you.
