Movie Reviews of Head-On [Gegen die Wand]
Movie Review: Head-On creates Head-On collision for avid German Students
Summary: 4 Stars
The Movie Head-On (Gegend die Wand), although amazing in its native form leaves something to be desired for the American who is fluent in German and not Turkish.
The movie itself is fabulous and is thankfully presented in widescreen, however the only two choices for subtitiles are English or none at all. Seeing as how this film has Two main spoken languages, it is difficult for the viewer to watch the movie without subtitles unless they are fluent in both German and Turkish. This movie has potential to be a great learning tool for German classes. I just wish it had German subtitles as well as English.
Movie Review: Gegen die Wand
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of those films that neither of us knows how it got into our queue. It turned out to be pretty good, though. If you have any squick for cutting, this is not your film. Otherwise it is fairly tame and a very realistic love story, once you cut through the semantics surrounding it. It was also a lovely film, typical German high art and cinematography. I really enjoyed being exposed to new actors (literally in some cases).Movie Review: Worth it for completing your German movie collection
Summary: 4 Stars
Pretty intense in terms of violence and blood.Movie Review: "romantic self destruction
Summary: 2 Stars
this movie is about two incredibly self absorbed, selfish people who are romantically self destructive, but ultimately do not destroy themselves, only the people around them. although presented as an examination of the misery of turkish expatriates in germany, it is not about that at all. it could be about any two people with any cultural background. he is an alcoholic who has lost and grieves for his former wife (doesn't say if she died or just left him). she is a muslim who wishes to excape from a confining existance in which her parents and brother prefer she not indulge in a life of open debauchery. WARNING SPOILER: in the last scene he drives off alone in a bus, she having decided to stay with her new boyfriend and baby daughter. it would have been more true to the characters if, as they had planned, to run off together, taking the child with them, leaving one more wrecked life in their wake. i could find no sympathy for them. two stars for good acting and photography.Movie Review: i didn't like the story, ive seen this happen alot to people
Summary: 2 Stars
usally a see a movie to escape , this movie is depressing and a little sick, i don't care to watch Sibel's actions again. The acting was good but the story is horrible. When you watch the trailer you thing your watching a love story instead you get this girl Sibel who's a whore that cheats on her man , i am sure thier pently of women out there that act this way, i just don't care to watch such a thing again. The film was top notch dvd transfer, music was good in the film. but i never want to see this thing again, if i had the dvd i would be in the garbage. two stars , one for acting and one for music
