The Door (2012)
sad but beautiful story
I found this movie stunning. It transmits such a bittersweet feeling, sadness combined with a certain peace of mind, of heart perhaps... It's a movie that teaches you that you shouldn't be afraid of death,that loneliness,illness,the loss of beloved relatives can be worse than death. This movie tells you that you should never give up,and the main character, Emerenc's path is an example.She's a strong and straightforward woman, very decided when it comes to protect her intimacy and her memories from youth. She's helpful and loyal though cruel and blunt sometimes,she hides her feelings but they burst out in some wonderful scenes like the one with the china dog or the dinner where Evike never showed up. Best movie I've seen this year,the music and the lightning are extraordinary. The director, Szabo Istvan is entitled to receive many more credits than it had received until now.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
disappointing movie....
first of all i have to say that i read the book one week earlier than watching the movie. i can't say it is a badly written book, but the plot seemed to be simple, even if the intention was to complicate it.after all, the clues to the case were found through some photos and newspaper articles.
secondly, the movie is an unfortunate combination of sequences taken out of the book. despite the fact that it is lengthy enough,the characters were nearly at all developed. for example in the book Cecilia Vanger, Martin Vanger, Dirk Frode are much more stronger characters than in the movie, where they play easily forgettable roles.
and lastly, the ending of the movie is simply disappointing compared to the book. until i read about the mysterious escape of Harriett in Australia, i thought it is an average detective novel, but this element really surprised me by its originality. it's a pity the movie hasn't reproduced it.
