the worst movie ever.....

Rating: 1/10 (9 April 2010)

I have just started watching foreign language movies, and seen a few good ones. This was just like kick in the guts
Movie starts like there is going to be some mystery to be solved. During the course of the movie, the actual storyline is very slow and very boring. Black & White theme of the movie adds to the boredom. And guess what, the mystery doesn't even get solved in the end. This movie doesn't have a single second of entertainment.
Then there are few characters. A pastor who is supposed to be emotionless person and he keeps on punishing his children for very silly reasons. And those punishments are not cruel but full of extreme foolishness. There is a doctor who seems like a good person in the beginning of the movie until he had an accident and when he returned. it turned out he is playing the role of one of sickest character I have seen in any movie.
The other characters were coming up with some personal issues from time to time and none of the issues were solved till the end of the movie. Or they might have and I missed it because the movie was so slow and boring that it was hard to concentrate. Then there were couple of unexplained illogical events. I think that was the directors idea of keeping the mysterious nature of the movie alive. Well it didn't pay off according to me and direction in the rest of the movie doesn't help either.
The movie that won Oscars this year for the Best Foreign Language category deserved it, but I have no clue how did this made it to top 5. Maybe this is how Oscar people wants to bring this movie to lime-lite and want to show the world how pathetic movie does the German send for competing in Oscars.
