SCREENPLAY

Roland Emmerich

I know that most of the audience (but not only) say Roland Emmerich is synonymous with poor quality for film, but who writes the German has never disappointed since the days of his first deafness Hollywood with "Soldier." His movies, especially in view of ultra-modern rooms equipped with an avant-garde audio department, is so superficial, fracassone (with the exception of "The Patriot"), but also tremendous fun. I think science fiction by Peter Colosimo's "Stargate" to the punch in the face of the alien Will Smith ("Welcome to America") in Independence Day, the Japanese Godzilla hurls its fury against American capitalism, the wolves Day after Tomorrow. So As I prepare to see 10,000 BC I started with the brightest hopes, but as I have been a disaster even more devastating. The film was presented on wikipedia thus: "In 2007, Two other films, 10,000 BC, in pre-production, based on a screenplay by Emmerich and Harald Kloser same. The film will tell through the eyes of a mammoth hunter who led the real-life 10,000 years before the birth of Christ. The film seems to include in its cast actors for the most part semi-unknown: Camilla Belle, Marco Khan and Steven Strait. " If the intent of Emmerich was the realism, the film is not about the target, gorged by force by special effects that continue to remind the absurd cold perfection of the game. Scenes like the hunting of bison or the attachment of ostrich meat eaters, or saving with saber-toothed tiger are Most scenarios to play in the solitude of an X box 360 or a PS3, just absolutely captivating if experienced by spectators and without the opportunity to interact. The story then it is quite disastrous with this odyssey of a prehistoric hunter to save her from the clutches of a pretty wicked Pharaoh. Does not involve the background of a past too superficial to be true, a primitive people so similar to the American Indians, a cast from the show on Saturday afternoon. Not a single drop of blood is placed in furious battles apparently, there is also pathos when characters die, if anything, the film is the bearer of involuntary laughter when they come into the scene from two bad features of a similar Toto Sheikh and a furious Alessandro Haber. The absurd plot points for the great experiment margheritiano "The World of Yor", but lacks the imagination and skill of the great Italian. 10000 Ac wasting too brilliant idea of \u200b\u200bfriendship between the hero and a ruthless tiger bound prehistoric animal in a cameo pretty useless: tamarro there would be more fun if the protagonist had massacred the bad guys on either side of his big cat maybe Zannato to the beat of heavy metal music. Emmerich Snyder would like to be in 300, but can only be the mere executor of one of the most disastrous film of the new millennium with the idea of \u200b\u200bsuicide to be serious when it calls a fierce tribe the enemy "Cula" boats or "big birds". It would be better if the German is detox or stop getting drunk on the set because this film is not just missing his touch, amateurish film is unworthy of being added to his filmography. Do not hesitate to forget soon.

Many dance surely will pull in the model "Rashomon" of Kurusawa to talk about this "Vantage Point", but it seems to me that there is nothing further. The film was Japanese dish on many facets of truth, a story that changed, depending on who tells the story, not just points of view, but precisely the crux of the story. "Rashomon" is the inspiration of "Outrage", a western Martin Ritt, of "How many times that night by Mario Bava's" Courage Under Fire "by Zwick and a flood episodes of TV series, cartoons and comics. But "Vantage Point" is the son of "Run Lola Run" by Tom Tykwer with the idea of \u200b\u200ba time that comes back every time and again at the beginning of history, not change them fully here, with major plot twists. "Vantage Point" revolves around the assassination of U.S. president in Spain and 8 different points of view, who attended the scene, at least until mid-film because in the end everything becomes much more linear perspective by bringing together the important one. The film is nothing of that, but it is well shot and gives high spectacular moments. A little '24, a little' Friedkin particular pursuits, nothing original sure, but what he says he says it well. The film lacks in the script above that forgets the streets of the characters, others reduced to caricatures (Sigourney Weaver) and can not do at all excited about micro plot as it does with the main one. The cast found a gigantic Dennis Quaid that you eat for breakfast the next generation as embalmed and expressionless Matthew Fox of Lost. For the rest of the cast does not do much playing for the loaf without the big surges actorial we would have expected from, for example, a good elsewhere Forrest Whitaker. Directed by Pete Travis is good and has a particularly fast-paced tracking shot in a state of grace through the streets of a city English. It could be a great action thriller, but the obvious defects of neglect narrative not lift him up from a pleasant homework, but known.

Doug Liman

INTERPRETERS

SCREENPLAY

David S. Goyer and Jim Uhls

Because if there is a fast food there can be no fast film? Film is so essential and free content that once you leave the cinema not leave anything. Jumper would definitely be a part of this category. The film directed by Doug Liman (who was always fracassone, but one time he could be too cool) and written by David S. Goyer is the mirror of what the film is being reduced to the exasperation of the plot that are filed for the needs of the moment. The need is to jumper to entertain in the shortest possible time, the rest is nothing: did you like? Maybe you also want some explanation? (You never know these days) Wait a second. And 'if we speak of a trilogy reason is: Jumper is basically a trailer to what we see in the second film. The holes are really too screenwriting volunteers for a cinema commercial surf at will in the canons laid down by the average spectator charmed by fast fun TV-style. But this is not cinema. A film can not be treated as a plot of a series or a first of a variety. There is the humiliation of knowing that the viewer / guinea pig is the "arduous" task is to assimilate the Concettino that there are those able to jumper telestrasportarsi anywhere in perpetual conflict with the Paladins, a secret society that works with the tones of the great inquisition. In fact the main theme of film seems to re-read science fiction of the witch hunt with these Jumper (live from dishonest advantage of their capabilities for the series .. we are not heroes but good), replacing the dear and old witches. Pity then that everything stays on the surface waiting to fill the holes in another time (a guy named JJ wallows there). However, without tears and without praise the movie you just enjoy the good action inserts: or at least is where the film shows more character and above all it is able at least to complete. But it remains just that: if you then okay ... it's all right. You will enjoy Jumper 2, but I would fold.
