The Fault in Our Stars (2014)
A movie about Cancer as awful as it gets *spoiler*
Please someone stop humanity from romanticizing cancer to make such painfully cheesy love stories out of it. That was mighty awful.
I don't know what is more embarrassing, the beyond ridiculous unrealistic flick itself or the hard to ignore obviousness that they paid a LOT of people to give that garbage the same 8-Stars rating at IMDb like Ben Hur or Lord of the Rings. If I only didn't trust the reviews and not the stars, cause they clearly speak a different language.
So tired of absolutely healthy looking bad actors trying to convince the world that cancer is a beautiful gift that suddenly makes them see the world like it was Disney World, full of beauty and amazing adventures.
Being someone whose family is multiple affected I had to forward a couple of times to even finish this Twilight leveled bull that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the harsh reality of cancer. There is no poetry in it, specially not for affected people in that age.
They don't look like that, don't act like that, don't talk like that, don't think like that and don't die like that. For gawd's sake, stop trying to make it look like despite of the ordeal of cancer there is something that makes it any better. Cancer is painful, emotionally and physically, it's beyond ugly and not a bittersweet enlightening adventure.
The height of stupidity were the people clapping when they kissed one another in Anne Frank's house. WTF was that?
I hate that I even had to give one star, none at all would have been more appropriate. Horrible!
Because I Said So (2007)
Had to turn the TV off. UNBEARABLE to watch.
After 40 minutes - and that was too long already - I had to stop. Otherwise I would have thrown my TV out of the window.
4 women, constantly screaming all at the same time, wildly gesticulating, totally pointless and extremely un-funny dialogues, obviously an attempt to make all those hens coming along extraordinary unique, chaotic and oh so clumsy, yet so lovable - NOT.
It was the first movie I just couldn't sit through. THE HORROR.
The makers should be seriously ashamed of what they delivered here.
I couldn't even have a laugh about how miserable it was.
That is all.
Jesus liebt mich (2012)
Neither Heaven nor Hell, this movie sadly lacks substance
As an admirer of Florian David Fitz as an actor I was really looking forward to see his debut as a director, but sadly this movie left me disappointed.
The story to me unfortunately totally lacks drive, during the whole film I was desperately waiting for something like an arc of suspense, but it just didn't happen. No real ups or downs, rather a constant flow of lukewarm happenings stringing together, I just couldn't relate to any of the characters nor to the storyline, it just didn't "get me".
Something I want to mention positively were the well done, not overdone special effects and some beautiful and good placed photography of the wonderful showplaces.
You don't have to be religious to understand the basic plot around Jesus and all the bible-related innuendos. The subject is handled respectfully and does not polarize. Florian David Fitz with no doubt successfully avoided to split the audience in believers or non-believers,but by trying to represent Jesus in a way that pleases everyone the character sadly also lacked charisma and passion. His try to represent Jesus as the gracious kind character ended up in appearing extremely sleepy, almost "stoned" or sedated. From his former performances in "Meine verrückte türkische Hochzeit", "Die Vermessung der Welt" and specially in "Vincent will Meer" I remember Florian David Fitz as an incredible multifarious lively charismatic actor that never failed to impress and to entertain me, the more strange it appears to me that his first own movie seems to be the only movie so far he didn't dare to show 100% of his acting skills.. and I wonder why.
Jessica Schwarz on the other hand often comes along TOO officious and hyper. The only highlight to me was Henry Hübchen in his role of archeangel Gabriel.
At no point of the film I started to feel with characters or to hope for the characters, it sort of simply let me cold. So it wasn't much of a disappointment when the movie simply ended as fanciless as the whole plot was.
The original idea of that story would have had potential, but what was made of it was too predictable and unfortunately got spoiled by feeding every clichè you can think of.
For his next try to agitate as a director I wish Florian David Fitz more courage to leave the accustomed usual trivial style of German TV romances, because there are too many of them already and I'm absolutely sure he has the potential to make something more extraordinary.
The German audience and his fans CAN indeed digest more substance than that, just do it!
