Night Watch - Bluesman Mike Lindner - 07-18-2005 remylass Wrote:I saw this as well. I must say, I was actually confused and/or bored during about half of the film. Now, I love a lot of foreign flicks, but this was not at all what I expected. "Confused and/or bored." That's the way I feel about a lot of the live music I see these days. Come to think of it, that phrase would be a excellent name for a band. Night Watch - Paige - 03-05-2006 Went to see Night Watch on Saturday. All by my lonesome. Hell, I couldn’t even get my parent to come with me. They were both rather put off by the idea of a Russian fantasy thriller. 90% of all Russian media makes my gorge rise. Can’t help it. I’m not part of that culture any more. I don’t understand the jokes, the films, the shows, even the news anchors rub me the wrong way. Despite my Russian background, my formidable years were spend in Los Angeles and culture-wise that is what I am familiar with most. The reason I say this is that despite my adverse reaction to all things Russian, I wanted to see this movie. It seemed just as "Americanized" as I was. Both of us drawing from the same reserve, so to speak. My personal opinion of the film? Too ambitious. They bit off way more than they can chew. The storyline was a little clumsy and convoluted and it was a little hard to keep track of all the characters. However, the acting was superb. The main character’s pain radiated practically in waves at the audience. There was a certain humanity feel about this movie that most films didn’t even come close to capturing. I truly enjoyed the film. I liked the swanky effects and the artsy way they did the subtitles. SPOILER Fell in love with the jaded, weathered down Light-father and his innocent, beautiful Dark-son.

It went citywide this past Friday, so I plan to watch it tomorrow between classes. I have not read =any= good reviews, but I like the premise. Keeping my fingers crossed. AC P.S. Ponare my two cent review durante la semana. Ciao. Night Watch - HaroldDemure - 03-21-2006 i loved it. Night Watch - Kenji - 04-01-2006 When I first saw this trailer was a year ago. And now, and now, finally I saw this movie. Today was the opening day, and the theatre was full of people. What a terrific film! I enjoyed it. I doubted "Is this a really Russian movie?" Visual and hard action, blood and violence...well, it was a taste like a Hollywood movie. But language was Russian and English subtitles were put on screen, so this is evidently....Russian movie. English subtitles were very unique. I liked that! I heard this is trilogy. This first one is "Night Watch", and part 2 is "Day Watch", and part 3 is "Dusk Watch". Oh, I can't wait! And, interestingly, sometimes they mentioned about "Other", and "Light vs. Dark" in this movie. They reminded me of "Otherness" and "Ally vs. Adversary". Coincidence? Without doubt, Sergei Lukyanenko read AC and RJ! |
