Ja, "Megashark vs Giant Octopus" fand ich den witzigsten von allen aus ihrer Fabrikation, die "spring-und-beiß-ins-Flugzeug"-Szene ist legendär
Heute wollte ich aber mal einen ernsthaften, intellektuellen Film empfehlen, bin dazu etwas faul und kopiere meinen Text, den ich in Englisch anderswo schon geschrieben habe.
Yesterday I watched "One Hundred Mornings", an Irish movie from 2010 not yet available in German language (because our TV is far too busy with extremely relevant casting shows). It asks the dangerous question: how would you get along if you had to survive without electricity = all the usual benefits of the 21st century?
The movie doesn't explain why everything stopped. It just shows 4 characters who can't live with each other, but can't survive without each other. The audience is expected to think and make their own conclusions, which is so rare in a movie, because normally the audience is expected to be dumb and gets a text insert like "three weeks later", but in here, you see that one guy's wound has healed since the last scene and guess it must be several weeks later. This adds to a feeling of unease and uncertainty. The characters don't really know what to do and just wait & hope things will become better. But things don't. If people are not prepared, such a reaction is a lot more realistic than suddenly developing superhuman skills to cope with unexpected challenges.
Masterpiece in the post-apocalyptic genre, if you ask me. Yet, guessing from the official homepage, it's a case of 'loved by the critics, ignored by the public'.
