Great and unbearable films

Among the favorite movies we used to include pictures of those who watched more than once, we can easily quote and retell their favorite scenes. But each of us can easily remember, and this movie, which is one of the world's masterpieces of cinema or an achievement, but to revise it have no desire to.

Some of these tapes just have not met our expectations, some disappointing finale, some after the disclosure of the main intrigue becomes uninteresting, and there was something of this two-hour torture.

Grave fireflies (1988) / Hotaru no haka

Full length Japanese animation in the layman associated with a colorful fairy tale works Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki, but "Grave of the Fireflies," directed by Isao Takahata is like a picture of a giant only style - the rest of the war drama, of course, is in some other universe .

First of all, touching story of children trying to survive the war in the devastated city, it is achieved by the established "Grave of the Fireflies" in the biographical novel in which the author describes what happened to his own family. And this is very touching, touching so that the wish to show this film does not make up your mind not only to children but also adults - war rarely appears on the screen more ugly, scary and cruel. That there is only the discovery of the body of children killed by mother - it is better not to see more.

Requiem for a Dream (2000) / Requiem for a Dream

After a series of visual experiments in the film "Pi" Darren Aronofsky in "Requiem for a Dream" trampled all possible cinematic canon - the number of assembly gluing his film above the average three times, he uses a split screen, slow-motion and fast motion and camera angles cause dizziness. But Aronofsky technique causes a persistent unwillingness to revise one of his best films, much harder to see the fall and destruction of the character of the picture. "Requiem" begins with faith in the beautiful fairy tale that we can achieve the desired, is only to make a little effort, but it ends with a terrible picture of decay, madness and selling herself for a dose of dope. Unmatched film invented and shot at the highest level, but to repeat a similar trip a few dare.

Irreversible (2002) / Irreversible

The director Gaspar Noe is no different tact - the viewer of his films always have to be ready for what will not be an easy walk, have difficulty to overcome the sharp edges of the story being told, simultaneously admiring camera tenacious and energetic staging challenging scenes. The most notorious example of the caller directing Noe - "Irreversible", which could be delicately described as a detective story find sinister pimp holding in horror Parisian quarter. But it is necessary once the viewer to see this film, and it stuck in my head like a rusty nail bitten off a hat.

Yes, we are on the famous scene of rape the heroine Monica Bellucci, an incredible three-minute off-plan, which is not only painful strikes cruel violence, but also the indifference of society. Remember the person who instead of helping the woman turned to the other side? No? Then review the course.

Oldboy (2003) / Oldboy

It should be noted that "Oldboy," Park Chan-wook was born in a very good time - Asian cinema interested in American, European and even the Russian audience, and almost every project is provided at the hearing. But we will not diminish the level of a particular pattern, "Oldboy" - a brilliant detective and thriller, shot so unusual that they can watch only with his mouth wide open, and shot one frame three-minute fight scene is still considered impressive stunt. That's just the final picture makes the viewer shudder stronger than when eaten as a live octopus - after 15 years of inexplicable imprisonment protagonist becomes involved in a strange game, which reduced his own daughter, that ends incest. A terrible ending a wonderful movie, review is unlikely to want.

Dead Man's Shoes (2004) / Dead Man's Shoes

Picture of Shane Meadows' Dead Man's Shoes "- a real jewel of the British film that combines elements of drama, horror, thriller and even a bit of black comedy. An ingenious story of two brothers, one of which went into the army, leaving the other in the world of violence and cruelty, and then came back to take revenge, shows the underside of provincial England better than any other film, and Paddy Considine, who performed the title role, has given actor's game, earned the sincere praise.

However, once seen the final tape turn away forever from the most recent dive in this nasty, bloody, drug world. There is not even acting effect "The Sixth Sense" and "Fight Club", where one of the characters, too, does not interact with any of the others, "shoes" to review does not pull in any circumstances.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008) / The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

If you have not read the novel Irishman John Boyne "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", the film certainly will produce for you a lasting impression. The thing is that the spoiled Hollywood clichés and the same happy-endami, we expect the machine to a happy resolution of all problems, even in scenes of the Holocaust. The main characters of the tape - two boys who shared the barbed wire. One is a prisoner of the concentration camp, and the second - the son of a Nazi commandant, but it does not prevent arisen this strong friendship, and to the final, we look forward to a long-awaited rescue Shmuel, that Bruno will help others to flee or his father will find the Jewish boys in his house. But the picture hurts our feelings - instead of saving will be a lot of grief, re-immersed in, and who did not want the enemy.

Child of Darkness (2009) / Orphan

While disturbing for our reason public figures talked about whether it is possible to screen child abuse and children do the heroes of horror films, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra took a great psychological thriller "Orphan," which tells of a married couple who adopts a 9- year-old girl, which turned the concentration of defects and horror.

The film is beautifully worked out, according to the plot, the viewer is forced to rush from one extreme to another, knowing the troubles in the family Coleman husband, the wife, the new family member. However, waiting for the final, we are not to feel frustrated and dramatically lose interest in what is happening - the last few minutes, when the secret is revealed Esther stretch unbearably long. All is clear and did not touch them. But not only that repels from re-view, it is unlikely anyone would want to again experience the embarrassing scene of seduction adopted daughter of his new father, even without knowing who is who.

Valentine (2010) / Blue Valentine

Horror Derek Sienfransa "Valentine" - a triumph of Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, who played in the movie starring. Great script demonstrates audience sentimental story of fading love, multiplying contradictions within the once-perfect couple, the gap is gradually growing where once passionate feelings lived. The chemistry between Williams and Gosling envelops the viewer, and because the collapse and breakup of their heroes hit particularly hard. So painful that for the final picture you regret that in general become her watch - it is better not to see these suffering and conflicts. Of course, the "Valentine" is much truer romantic comedies about "love to the grave", but this does not mean that this truth will want to draw a large spoon again and again.

We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) / We Need to Talk About Kevin

The tragic story of Eve and her son, as shown in the picture Lynn Ramsey "We Need to Talk About Kevin" deserves every second of applause which it bestowed audiences at numerous festival shows - on tape is really impossible to take your eyes, and its fate heroes touches the deepest strings of the soul.

The theme of the picture is complex and unattractive, not every one of us is willing to admit to himself that he should share the blame of their children, raise the child properly that he was deaf to the echoes of the first alarm. Particularly complex film for mothers who are sure that they give children the best that they can not be wrong, and the result is appalling themselves. The film is remembered, but to re-view does not have too hard it is - to see played brilliantly talented Tilda Swinton anguish provoked carnage Kevin.

The Tree of Life (2011) / The Tree of Life

What can we say, the repeated viewing of any of the last films of Terrence Malick - the test is not for the faint of heart. However, the "Tree of Life", impressionistic story of an average American family stands out even against the backdrop of the latest creations of the director. Do not believe those who say that the "Tree" there is no plot, do not trust the opinion of those who believe that this picture is a hallucination of the author or his drug trip, it is not true, the tape - a true visual masterpiece that immerses the viewer in the philosophy of life is so deep as he is ready to take this journey. But all the cosmic scale of the narrative, all the brilliant acting work and skilful operator techniques, all multidimensional interpretations are unlikely to make you reconsider the "Tree of Life" one more time. This film is good and its aftertaste feeling that you've seen it over and you did not have to watch.

127 Hours (2010) / 127 Hours

Career James Franco is like a roller coaster - it is saddles luck and win prestigious prizes, the nesmotribelnom removed in the slag, it is invited to the multimillion-dollar blockbusters, then give a penny role in indie films that go straight into the trash.

2011 was an actor was victorious - in the film Danny Boyle's "127 Hours" Franco got the chance to benefit and used it to the full, only the picture, with all the advantages, has turned out such that any muddying peeking from one only of her memories. A screen adaptation of the history of the climber, fell into the trap, could hardly do without a key scene amputation sandwiched throwing a stone, but then, as shown by Boyle and Franco, forcing each time to pour cold sweat - a blunt penknife against tendons, nerves, muscles and bones. Do not try to repeat the view at home.

12 years of slavery (2013) / 12 Years a Slave

The historical drama of Steve McQueen's "12 Years a Slave", it would seem, should not have nothing to surprise - picture of the oppression of black people of America are published regularly, in the title role is not the big star, and the history of Solomon Nortala more like a fairy tale in the style of " uncle Tom's Cabin. " But something in this tape came together, so that not only the stupefied audience, but also criticism - all the major awards ceremony began for the "12 Years a Slave" triumphant. One problem is, this film: after the final Solomon is reunited with his wife and children, relieved exhale not only the heroes of history, but we are. Yes, dark backstage history of American slavery is a brilliant, yes, the film is touching naturalness violent scenes and deliberate impotence of those who wants Solomon to help, but with the beginning of the end credits a sense of only one thing - the audience seemed to reset the heavy load that should continue to take do not want to ever again. With all due respect.

And some of these tapes you last revised and reviewed it?
