In Reply to: "Turtles Can Fly:" I have only superlatives for this film, which I posted by tinear on November 3, 2006 at 14:37:24:
for this movie. It is very plain in it's depiction and believable in a manner that draws you into this terrible existence. Those children are truly brave and inspiring so it is tolerable to watch this life of theirs - and we can be thankful for what we have.
Follow Ups:
Zola's great novel or "Z," the classic film of Costa-Gavras, or Kubrick's "Paths of Glory."
Turtles certainly is of this caliber.
Nothing can prepare one for this film's emotional impact.
It makes most film seem unimportant, vacant, self-centered, vain, empty.
This is art that scares you with its power, that hits like events in your life, that makes you reconsider your own path in life.
It really is very good, in my opinion.
The way they survive by their wits, waiting for the US army to arrive like John Wayne and the 7th cavalry only to be invisible to them is very provocative. And I don't mean that in any anti-American sense at all.
Thanks Tin
superb and will, over time, be seen as great.
