[Short Movie Review] Love Phobia, Eraserhead and Hinokio
August 24, 2008 – 12:51 am
Love Phobia
Love Phobia (Korean) - Defines what a true love is, avoids the typical cliches in rom-com, end was more than satisfying. Chemistry between both leads was awesome. Story takes a deep turn at the end, quite unpredictable but not for those who like melodrama. A nice movie to instill some goodness around you with your loved ones.
Eraserhead - Not your average movie !
Eraserhead (Hollywood) - David Lynch’s cult classic. Its not a movie but a torturous experience of a man who indulge into various acts without even will. Turn out to be a bad consequences when you do something you aren’t willing to and world takes away everything you wanted to with a insulting smile on face. May be those who don’t like non-entertainment movies shouldn’t touch this one as it stirs a number of emotions, something you will never forget and something you will try to arrange bit by bit. But a must watch for David Lynch’s fan, this is where The Elephant Man came from.
Hinokio
Hinokio (Japanese) - I don’t usually watch animated or movies related to robots. As they all turn out to be nothing more than some silly robot making frens and some other events of sadness and in the end a happy ending. BUT this movie is not like typical ones, indeed you care for every characters. There is an element of virtual reality. A boy who can no longer walk, interacts with the outside world through a robot “Hinokio”. There is one little surprise about Jun (one of the friends), its kinda cute and you will come to know in a amusing way. There are no antagonists in this movie, may be if you can pardon a wannabe le**o gal who is envy of someone in this movie. Who is that someone will be another surprise I left for you to discover as movie rolls.
