Regard on realism,romanticism and amusement

Rating: 3/10 (15 March 2000)

My opinion of the film is not very positive. It is not realistic at all,it starts very romantically and later turns into a contradiction of a utopian world. It is like an insight-experience of a child. (Aha-Erlebnis) Therefore it will be more successful for younger people. The humor is not very original, and the horror-effects are very simple.(My heart wasn't beating 2 or 3 times ,so it DID work!) It feels like a summary of effects, more then an emotional-logical web of events. The best aspect, I think, is the array of cinematografical (?) solutions, use of the film-hardware, camera-angles. The quality of images ( stills ) are very high. So it is more the "How" i.s.o. the "What" of cinema. For me it has very little to do with real-life-experiences. I get very curious about "Train spotting" (Next time I will try writing Dutch, this is too hard )
