Movie Reviews of Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
Movie Review: City lights!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of films of the great directors are multidimensional in its significance. This immortal gem of the cinema couldn't be the exception.
On one hand, it may be regarded as a romantic triangle with attempts to murder, but this reading would be flat, because Murnau pursuits to surmount the simple anecdote; in this sense the arrival to the city and the arouse illusions as guarantee of a new and better world to live remains in our minds afeter leaving the hall.
But the difference is the transcendence of this brilliant movie resides in the purity and if you may naïf convictions of this couple that keeps a curisous resemblance with Tabu. Because to emigrate from the province to the big city it's not so far respect to emigrant from a paradisiacal island to the modern civilization. Moreover, if we scrutinize with major zealousness around the origins of the Italian Neo realism, most of critics agree in Jean Renoir's Tony was the first seed, but this story is narrowly linked ij spirit and intention with this movement.
This film still stands out as one the most superb movies ever made; a portentous artistic document for the new filmmakers to come.
