| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Movie with "mashup" script |
| Here's an example of a movie made around a strong script... or so they say. The writer became the finalist of a prestigious award, and maybe as a writer he deserved so.
The issue that i have with this movie, is that the script comes across as a mashup, of all the documented revolutions starting in the 18 century, in which, the mother of all revolutions - the french revolution - takes center stage. The author got an internet connection, and read everything about revolutions starting in the 18 century, and rearranged it around a "new script". For instance David's ([[ASIN:0807843504 Jacques-Louis David, Revolutionary Artist: Art, Politics, and the French Revolution]]) master piece depicting the death of Marat, is actually used in the movie when a young lady kills the dictator. Stalinist and Fidel(ism) also have very strong references. Maybe it is difficult to write about dictatorship without being immune to the past. It's movies like this that makes us appreciate true masterpieces - [[ASIN:0140126716 Nineteen Eighty - Four]]. Bottom line, if you want my advice, and you like political science, watch other movies that add a lot more from the art of movie making. Otherwise, you will end up with a strange feeling of waste of time. |
