The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)
Top performance
As always Sean Penn was majestic. What a great performance. It also give a realistic view of the American dream. Don't believe everything you hear and see on television or read in books. Our world it a jungle and it's struggling to have a descend life. We are lucky that over here in Europe we have social laws and that we have unions. There are restrictions to what managers can do to their workers. The movie-story is rather negative but is realistic. Everything went wrong in his life but...that is not a reason to act like he did. It's to easy to condemn everything on society. Very good movie. The same quality as 21 grams. Always a pleasure to see play Sean Penn.
L'enfant (2005)
Wonderful
A wonderful movie that really show the way of life in the very poor region of Seraing. I am not proud to be a Belgian when I see in what circumstances some Belgians people have to live. Especially if you know that we are one of the richest countries of Europe. The Dardenne brothers made a real masterpiece and deserve to win the "Palm d'or" of Cannes for that movie. And what a wonderful actor Jérémie Rénier is. Normally the Dardenne movies are a little slow p.ex."Le Fils" but this movie is not boring at all and the story is very good. Neverteless there is no music in the movie the sounds of the environment are enough to feel how it must be to live in "Seraing".
Hop (2002)
Great Belgian movie
Two greatest Belgian actors playing in this movie, Jan Decleir and Antje Deboeck. The story about illegal african people beeing send back to Africa. I liked the movie. The story is not realistic but very well played. Very nice movie to watch and to think about our way to threat people staying illegal in western countries.
