Notes: It is probably the most famous movie coming from the Italian neo-realist genre and since it is such a classic, I was really glad to finally watch the damned thing. Well, the first thing that stroke me was how simple the story actually was. However, even though it was a simple tale, I was actually impressed by how damned efficient it was. Indeed, I am often amazed and even annoyed by how convoluted and far-fetched the movie plots can become in our modern movies. This movie was the proof that it does never need to be this way, that you don't have to have some annoying twist or some unbelievable action scenes to make things more entertaining. In my opinion, the combination of realism and symbolism displayed here was just great and the story was sometimes rather heartbreaking.6 years, 3 months ago

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was included in the ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ list, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, eventually, it turned out to be a decent comedy but, to be honest, not much more than that in my opinion. First of all, ” read more

Notes: Honestly, I really had a hard time with this flick. I don’t know, maybe I wasn’t in the right mood when I watched it. Basically, it is an uber-romantic tale about a doomed love story and, right from the start, they make sure you won’t have any hope that they would end up together one way or the other. At first, I was worried that they would never speak to each other and I thought ‘Girl, either you’re going to talk to that man or you’re going to do something else with your life’ but, at last, they got together so there was some hope but, then, he apparently forgets about her(!) and she gets pregnant in the mean time. Since they seemed deeply in love that seemed rather far-fetched but, well. I was ok with the fact that he didn’t recognize her the 2nd time they met since they barely talked to each other when they lived in the same building but it was fairly unconvincing that he wouldn’t recognize her when he meets her a 3rd time maybe a decade later. So you see where it goes, you either love that kind of story or you don’t. Personally, I’m not a huge fan, but I have to admit it, it was still a decent watch.6 years, 3 months ago

“I already saw this movie but, the first time around, I saw the damned thing without subtitles so I have to admit that I did struggle with the thick Scottish accent so I was quite eager to rewatch it with some subtitles. Well, eventually, its title was definitely not ironic and it turned out to be a ” read more
