Movie Reviews of Dark Days
Movie Review: Dark days, dark times, but a bright outlook on life
Summary: 5 Stars
You will have come to this movie in a few ways. One way is from a musical standpoint, being a fan of hip hop artist DJ Shadow and wanting to hear how his music was used. Or you happen to be a fan of the cinema and enjoy independently made movies. Regardless of which way you come in, you will not be the same person the same way out. "Dark Days" is a dark movie, shot entirely in black & white, about people who lived in the tunnels underneath New York City, a population most people ignored. Director Marc Singer captures the feelings and opinions of each person, why they live there, and how they live on a daily basis. Some lost families due to drugs, others feel that this is the best way to beat the system. You manage to get yourself involved in each person, and hope for their best as the film goes along. The documentary ends on a good note, and it makes you re-evaluate your own standards of living.Movie Review: Life in fiction!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is sometimes easier to bury ourselves in fiction and enjoy the glitz of Hollywood rather than face the real issues in our world today. Marc Singer has made one of the most powerful statements about the joy, suffering and irony of life. He has used homeless people as a medium, but could have just as well done it using a group of wealthy "Ladie's who lunch"Never has a film made me cry, smile and laugh as much. To follow the lives of individuals who have so little, but are still able to give so much to each other and make the most of the little thay do have.
This is a must see film, that will send you on a roller coaster ride of emotion. Watch enjoy, and I challenge you not to pick the phone up the minute this has finished to tell all of your friends.
Movie Review: Very Interesting, Quite Surprising.
Summary: 5 Stars
"Dark Days" is a documentary where the film maker follows the lives of several people who live within the subway tunnels of New York City. This documentary gives an up close and personal look of how these people live and survive. The most surprising thing you take away from this movie is that although many of these people have problems (substance abuse, family, mental) they are surprisingly human and easy to relate to. The "houses" that these people build in the tunnels are amazing with everything from TV to running water. If you want to watch a truly interesting and surprising documentary, this is it.
5 Out of 5 Stars.
Movie Review: A True Work of Art
Summary: 5 Stars
Marc Singer's self-produced documentary on the tortured lives of homeless people living in the dark and dreary tunnels of an abandoned New York subway is, quite simply, a work of art. It provides an unflinching look at a problem far too many of us choose to ignore, but does so in a way that is neither preachy nor sensationalistic. It also shows that, when it comes to intelligent filmmaking, Hollywood's glossy, sanitized, big-budget style of doings things is not only unnecessary, but in most cases distracting and counterproductive.Movie Review: A Wonderful Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is wonderful, in that it literally fills the viewer with "wonder." One wonders, for instance, about the resiliency of the human condition, how people can keep a sense of humor, good companionship, concern for others, including animals, under dire circumstance. That there are human beings with viewpoints, intelligence,and personality living in extreme poverty is a major and worthwhile message of this film. I also applaud the filmmaker, Mr. Marc Singer for his industry and courage to make such a poignant documentary.
