A good movie

“When I saw the trailer, I can’t say I was really impressed but since this movie was very well received, I thought I might as well check it out after all.

The Wild Robot
Notes: At least, I have to admit that it was probably DreamWorks most gorgeous movie so far. Still, even if I have to agree that it was definitely one of their best efforts, I think it was still too derivative though. Basically, it was some kind of mix of ‘WALL-E’ with ‘Big Hero 6’ but, to be honest, it wasn’t really much more than that though. Still, I can’t deny it, there is always something really powerful about a synthetic being like Roz slowly discovering emotions and love and it was very well developed in this movie. I still think it was too predictable but also too convoluted at the same time though. For example, one thing that bothered me was that Roz had to learn and adapt to this wild world and these wild animals which was pretty neat. However, at some point, they made a huge 180 degrees turn and displayed how these animals all became friends after Roz became some kind of messiah for this community showing them how they should actually treat each other but I think it was a mistake. The whole point was to show how this robot became wild so why should all these animals become somehow friendly with each other? Does this mean that they all became vegetarian then? I wasn’t sure about the ending either. I mean, there was this massive climatic battle to prevent Roz from leaving the island but, eventually, she still went anyway (by the way, how many times Roz did try to leave this island to go back where she was coming from?). Anyway, even though it didn’t really blow me away, I have to admit that it was a pretty good animated feature.

Kino-Eye
Notes: I have to admit that, because of some personal stuff, I had actually a rather hard time to focus on this movie. However, the fact that it was really random probably didn’t help either. Seriously, they would keep jumping from one thing to another without much cohesion and, to be honest, the end-result was rather jarring. For some reason, they also thought it would be clever to play some scenes in reverse but I have to admit that the effect was not bad though. Anyway, eventually, it was probably the most abstract Soviet documentary I have seen so far. The fact it was made 100 years ago and that the quality of the copy I have seen was pretty poor made the whole thing even more abstract than it already was. Of course, since it was a Soviet production, it was obviously some propaganda but, in spite of all the horrors that happened there at the time, I have to admit that, at least to me, there was something quite appealing about this ideology so it didn’t bother me. This movie actually stood out from the genre as it was much less grim than what you usually get. Indeed, the tone was much lighter and even quite joyful (the Chinese magician was definitely an highlight for me). I think it also had to do with the fact that it was shot in the mid-20’s, the Russian revolution only took place less than a decade before and, at the time, they were all motivated and still quite positive about what they were trying to achieve.
