great film

i saw hardcore yesterday,and i think it was great.the acting was very good even though most of the actors are still in drama schools and they havent been in a film before , they acted like professionals.particularly danae skiadi got perfectly in the skin of her part,her facial expressions,her movements and her "evil"smile worked very well.katerina tsavalou was also good,although sometimes the flat tone of her voice was kind of irritating but then i realised that it had to be like that since she was 17 and a half and already tired of her life,tired of being a teenage whore and not having anyone to love her and not just take advantage of her and also because she wasnt as tough as nadia was.i dont know if i would have liked hardcore that much if it was a hollywood film.i'm sure that it would have been completely different.they would have given more importance to martha's "need love and family" and it would be full of hugging,touching scenes with lines like:i'm sick of this life i want to be loved ,i want a family "and it would probably show why they left their houses in the fist place,probably because their parents were divorced and dad didnt pay enough attention to them...the classical hollywood themes and it would end up being boring.
