Le otto montagne (2022)
Meh
I haven't read the book but based on the movie alone I must say the characters and storyline didn't engage me at all. The movie doesn't do much to make the audience get involved in the characters' psyche nor does it attempt to make you interested through the plot. You basically listen to the narrator explaining (with little success) how the author sees things topped by sparsely distributed conversation between the two main characters. On the plus side, the scenery was visually appealing but I must say there are tons of such clips available on the internet these days, you don't need to go to a movie to see that. The Eight Mountains was a disappointment.
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Blade Runner 2049; A Prose by a Wannabe Poet
It isn't simple to be the real thing, now is it? Yet when you get it right, it is hard to argue against it. That is true of replicants in Blade Runner 1982, as well as the movie itself. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about its successor Blade Runner 2049.
The movie struggles to get it right on all fronts. The story-line toils to be consistent, the plot doesn't flow right and the original eerie atmosphere is lost to special effect grandiosity. Dialogues are stale and not even close to memorable exchanges in Blade Runner 1982 that can still send shivers down your spine. The theme music that binds together the emotional and intellectual mood of the film in 1982 has a leave of absence in 2049.
The original Blade Runner was a captivating poem, the 2049 version is just a misconstrued essay.
