Radio Mary (2017)
Yes, 'do you believe in magic' is a good title.
This movie is about our reality. Not big, expensive and full of action like in The Matrix, but small. This does not keep it from going all the way into the rabbit-hole. The world where reality ends and fantasy begins. The spiritual. The world where space and time disappear. The wall on the edge of reality, which is full of cracks, which you can only see when you stand right up against it. In this movie telepathy is the crack, which widens as the movie develops.
A lot of the movies that dare to question reality are boring and lecture. This movie does not do that. That is why I enjoyed it.
"Do you believe in magic?"
Yes, I absolutely do.
The Oxbow Cure (2013)
Tender movie about coping with loss of father
Tender movie about coping with loss of father. The end is of course symbolic. Nothing SF about it, as some say.
Solaris (2002)
Shallow reflection of the 1971 version
I really missed the depth in this remake of Solaris. Scientist not interested in exploring, just in holding on to what they have got. The 1971 version left the viewer baffled with questions, guessing about reality. This version does not. The final scene is a poor attempt to have a happy Hollywood ending. It left me with a dreadful empty feeling.
A Hologram for the King (2016)
Lost in translation, but a lot less drunk.
Lost in translation with Hanks instead of Murray and Saudi Arabia instead of Japan. A lot less extravagant but also a pleasure to watch.
