Yes acting was superb. I hated the secret agent role (Ulrich Muhe) at first but then it happened to be the "thing" I loved the most about this movie :smile:

:agree: yeah in the opening moments i had the same feeling but then you cant but help appreciate his role in the movie ( i felt sorry for him, bec he is an idealist and with what was going on it was just driving him crazy and i think any human being in his position and with his power would be torn between what u have to do or what u think is right) not to mention you really feel bad for him after hating him in the opening of the movie. i hated hempf the most though he was a world class prick!!!

i think the scenes that highlight this movie for me are:

1- when dreyman sees Christa-marie get out of himpf's car and having to keep it to him self ( i think that would be soooooooo hard for any man to go thru even if deep inside he knows she was doing this for him to be safe)

2- when dreyman begs her not to see him again, in my opinion is the scene that makes this movie truly amazing

3- the final scene is just the best end to a great movie " this is for me" wow :)

Not to forget the accident scene. The audience as well as Christa-Maria thinks that Wiesler has betrayed the woman but then we are all left in awe by what the man says to the dying woman. It was brilliant.

Léon (Director's Cut) - It must have been at the very least 5 years since I last saw this one (the regular cut). I remembered it to be good, but not this good. Brilliant movie, top notch acting, great score. Quite a few scenes have been restored in the director's cut (mostly involving the relationship between Léon & Mathilda), and I feel it really did give the movie a different, much more awkward tone. I can see how a lot of people would prefer the regular version though.

Also watched a little romcom called The Treatment. A waste of time. The script was probably quite good, the execution was not. Completely unsympathetic, annoying male lead.

The Book of Eli. Fantastic film a must watch.
Just checked the trailer, looks blah. I don't like a type of movie when a guy beats 15 of them and acts cool like Steven Seagal.

Its NOT possible to hate anything with Christopher Walken in it :tup: :cool: :lol:

Like with anything else, you cant generalize it, even if not like the style of genre, you can find gems/good stuff in it. Automatically so with Walken :D
Wtf :lol2:

Has anyone here ever seen Fata Morgana?

It's a Herzog arthouse movie (it's often listed as a documentary, but it's not really) consisting mostly of images of mirages and plane wrecks in deserts, other human debris, all set to Mozart, Leonard Cohen, snatches of a Mayan creation myth read by a German historian and a bit of narration written by Herzog.

It's one of the strangest things I've ever seen, sometimes beautiful and hypnotic, frequently ironic and utterly demented.
