Le otto montagne (2022)
The last word belongs to the mountain
Having been living near mountain in Iceland and inspired by a visit to the Dolomites, I love to read books and watch films about live in mountains.
Eight Mountains is an enthralling cinematic experience that immerses audiences in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Alps and Himalaya. Based on Paolo Cognetti's acclaimed novel, the film delves into the profound themes of friendship, isolation, and the complex dynamics between fathers and sons.
Eight Mountains shares thematic similarities with the critically acclaimed film Into the Wild. Both films encapsulate the search for personal meaning and the longing to break free from societal constraints.
Eight Mountains struck a personal chord. The film beautifully captures the allure and transformative power of these natural wonders. The breathtaking visuals transported me back to the mountains, reminding me of the profound impact they had on my own life.
Rams (2020)
Hrútar vs. Rams
It was interesting to watch Australian Rams (2020) on New Year's Day and compare it to the Icelandic film Hrútar (2015).
The plot is similar, but in Iceland there is snow and forest fires Down Under. The ending is different. Sadness vs. Happiness.
The main role with Sam Neill who is one of Australia's best-known actors and when you compare Sigurður Sigurjónsson's acting in Hrútar, you see how good actor Sigurður is.
My favorite scene in the movie was when the main character took his brother to the hospital, a spectacular scene.
The Australian version of Rams was funny enough, and has a long way to go to reach the Icelandic prototype quality.
