Färyad (1993)
Färyad - the scream - of Azerbaijan for its salvation
The movie is about an Azerbaijani PoW of 1992, where you can see his emotions and thoughts for unfair war against Azerbaijan by Armenia and separatists. At the same time, the hero can keep his human face and shows decent action, which surprised his enemies a lot. He replies about their surprise saying "I do not wish to be in my situation even to my enemies". However, he was always dreaming about a cavalier in white, on a white horse fighting his enemies.
In short, we can say that the story is built on moralism, calling to avoid war-time utilitarian behavior because the justice will come soon or later.
P. S. Färyad was shot based on the the real story of Mehman Huseynov (died in 2015). The movie was shot during the 1992-1994 war, and the hero of the movie (Jeyhun Mirzayev) died right after the end of filming. Azerbaijani regions stayed under Armenian occupation from 1994. The second war hapened in 2020 and finished with Azerbaijani victory.
Jeux d'enfants (2003)
Needed to be watched a few times to grasp the movie deeper
The movie is too short in comparison to other typical French drama movies.
The main idea I could get from the first view is that our life is absurd being only about numbers.
According to the plot, love is the only thing what makes sense, no matter how you experience it.
...A zori zdes tikhie (1972)
Unusual thing for Soviet WW2-movies
This is one of the few Soviet films on WW2 which emphasizes people's emotions, dreams and wishes. Less of usual pseudo-patriotism contained.
As far as I know, Soviet WW2 veterans usually did not watch films about the war they fought at. The reason is that those films were far from the reality. I bet this could be the one they would have preferred to watch.
Worth to watch it.
Death Note: Desu nôto (2006)
Game of Brains
Note: Review cannot express my feelings about this anime, but you should definitely watch this piece of art!
After watching Death Note, I got convinced again how intelligent Japanese people are.
The movie is about the rival between Light (symbolizing absolute rule of "superficial" power) and L (symbolizing rule of people), which is full of great strategies planned, smart moves and strong psychological performance shown by both sides. Anime proved to show such complex fiction plots better than a normal movie played by actors. Also, some soundtracks played are just wonderful.
The only objection is that the movie ended so early because of Light's assitant's silly mistake (he went to the bank in an unusual time). I guess the assistant was not so dummy to make such a mistake.
Death Note had to be a 10-star movie. However, because of the point I mentioned above, it became a 9.5-star movie.
