Movie Résumé


  • Blancanieves (2012): My personal highlight in this semester. I really enjoyed watching the film and the pictures are still haunting me. I love the powerful music and scenes. It is absolutely worth watching. I would give the movie 5 of 5 stars! 
  • Zero Dark Thirty (2012): Even if the film is kind of boring from time to times, I liked it. I enjoyed the acting of Maya played by Jessica Chastain and the way of the "entertaining" preparation of the manhunt of Osama Bin Laden. I would give the movie 3 of 5 stars! 
  • The Devil´s Backbone (2001): An interesting kind of horror/history movie with good scenes and great shots. I would give the movie 3 of 5 stars!
  • The Piano (1993): Highlighted by a fantastic music shows "The Piano" another perspective of women. I enjoyed watching it and I would recommend it. I give the movie 4 of 5 stars! 
  • Do The Right Thing (1989): Dreamlike pictures and a reflective story of  doing the right thing. I think the movie has a deeper meaning, which is nowadays as important as in 1989. I give the movie 3 of 5 stars!
  • El Topo (1970): A movie, which impresses due to its otherness. I will always remember this film, but I am not sure wether in a negative or positive way. I give the movie 2 of 5 stars! 
  • Seconds (1966): I enjoyed watching the movie, even I was scared in a few scenes. The imagination of the happening is frightening. I give the movie 3 of 5 stars!
  • The Hitch Hiker (1953): An excellent film noir with a lot of excitement till the end. I give the movie 2 of 5 stars!
  • Double Indemnity (1944): I loved watching the film. Barbara Stanwyck plays an awesome femme fatale and the shots are great! I give the movie 4 of 5 stars! 
  • M (1931): A German movie, which deals with the topic of a child murderer. In the end I was hit by the strength of the movie and my emotions. I give the movie 4 of 5 stars!
  • Sherlock, Jr. (1924): I am not a big fan of silent comedy films, but this one showed some really good shots and stunts. I give the movie 3 of 5 stars!  
All in all I watched a lot of excellent movie this semester and now I watch movies with different eyes. I really liked the journey through different genres and times.
