Whocares, the Film Critic

Yeah yeah, for all those who remembered that I did this before, I'm becoming a film critic again.

Pretty much, I just say reviews about movies based on what I think about them. I'm going to try to do this once, mabye twice, a week, but don't take this as a promise.

Also, before I get down to business, I am going to say the following things to bring some order to this topic:
  • I am going to make a review on any movie I feel like reviewing. This means it can be from whatever genre, whatever rating, and whatever age. I'm even going to a few silent movies every now and again.
  • This is about my opinion on films, not yours. If you want to review films yourself, make your own topic, please.
  • Just because I give a movie you like a bad review or on you don't like a good review does not mean you have the right to start an argument about it. This topic is merely me talking about movies, and suggesting them or telling you which I don't suggest. If you don't like my review of a movie, then please just understand that this is my opinion, I don't have to feel like you do about the movie. And you don't have to feel the way I do, either. All I care about is brining movies I think are good to the people and keeping them away from the bad ones.
  • Once again, I will tell you what the movie is rated by US standards. Unlike before, I won't tell you WHY it is rated that way. This is partly because of fears that, as soon as I say something like "this film has nudity", then some of you will immediately go on Netflix and order the movie just because of that, and not because you actually are interested in it.

Also, there is a new feature that wasn't here last time: you, the readers, can rate the movies I review on a scale of 1 to 5. Please watch the movie first, though.

I'm writing my first review in my next post. The movie will be Schindler's List, Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic. Hopefully, I will get this up tomorrow.

god speed Whocares

Man... if you do a serious review of that movie you will lose all my respect.

Next thing you know he's gonna be like, "I think they took it too seriously considering the Holocaust never happened"

(note:  Tacheon knows the Holocaust happened, and is just proving a point)

Commodore Axilon

Also, I forgot to mentionearlier I will also take requests for films. Name a SPECIFIC film, however, not just a type of film (this goes for you too, HNS)

Schindler's List[/i]

Country: United States
Year: 1993
Director: Steven Spielburg
Running Time: 195 minutes
Rating: Restricted
For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schindler%27s_List

Plot: Schindler's List, which is almost entirely in black and white, follows the real life Oskar Schindler, a real life Nazi businessman during World War II who made a fortune by exploiting Jewish labor in his munitions factory. (Note: some of the only Jews allowed to live during the Holocaust were unpaid workers in factories) However, after witnessing the destruction of a Jewish town, Schindler becomes an unexpected humanitarian, and spends all of his fortune protecting his Jewish workers from death and buying more "workers", saving as many lives as his dying fortune can afford him. By the end of the film, Schindler saves over 1,000 Jews from Auschwitz. As the Red Army draws closer and closer towards the end of the war, however, Schindler flees, and despite being reassured from his workers he is not a criminal, Schindler is still upset he could not save any more lives. The film ends (in color) with several of his workers and actors portraying them placing stones on Schindler's grave. Oskar Schindler died on October 9th, 1974, and when the film was made, the number of Jews he saved still living and their descendants number 6,000.

Score: 5/5
Review: Despite it being relatively new compared to most other critically adored films, Schindler's List is considered among the greatest films ever made. Anyone who sees the film can obviously tell why. Schindler's List is a modern masterpiece that cannot be surpassed; a perfect film. The film's non-color style makes the viewer feel like they are actually looking at real-life Holocaust pictures, which are in black and white. Unforgettable, when many movies are already forgotten once we're halfway through watching them.

Average member's opinion: 0/5 (no votes yet)

My next review shall be on Once Upon a Time in America, a 1984 film.
