回复 :安纳托利亚的大地充满灵气,人间的龃龉却为它添上哀愁。老父担忧种满白杨树的林地会被政府没收,他恳切的眸子盛载过叶子间洒下的春意。儿子回家乡找拍片题材,叫齐亲朋戚友权充演员,一心想把大自然凝定在画面上。九岁的侄儿随身袋著一只鸡蛋,要安然渡过四十天,好让其父放心给他买只音乐手表。导演舍兰(Nuri Bilge Ceylan)回味著上次回乡拍摄《小城岁月》的日子,诉说牵动人心的一些小事,亲自拍下激情暗涌的平民面孔(片中双亲是他父母),镜头的呼吸与心眼的张望同步,媲美伊朗的基阿鲁斯达米,在国内外赢得共十七个奖项。
回复 :Stuart Gordon, considered a master of the horror genre thanks to classics like Re-Animator and Dagon, decides to do a different move in this strange trip to human morals."King of the Ants" is about a regular guy, Sean Crawley(newcomer Chris McKenna), a man without any aspiration who just live in his apartment doing the necessary job to live to the next day. In one of his jobs he meets Duke(Gearge Wendt), who introduces Sean to his boss, Ray Matthews(played by Daniel Baldwin). Ray hires Sean as a spy, and orders him to follow Eric Gatlin(Roy Livingstone), an accountant who has been investigating Ray's company. Problems start when Ray, while drunk, orders Sean to kill Eric. And he does it. Things go wrong when Ray decides to make Sean disappear destroying his mind with violent punishment and humiliation.From the point where Sean kills Eric, we go in the same boat with him, as he goes through a downward spiral of human degradation, traveling from guilt, to confusion and finally to his rebirth, in a state where humanity, morals and values are not important anymore. Chris McKenna acting is very important because he manages to be likable even when he is part of gruesome acts, both as victim and/or criminal. He has that look of innocence that hides a dark side and he manages to carry the film.The support cast also includes Kari Wuhrer, as Eric's widow who also becomes a central part of Sean's trip to hell. She gives a fine performance, although it's obvious that Sean is the main character. He is the most developed of all and McKenna's performance is up to the challenge.The film has very disturbing images of violence, and while it may not be as graphic as "Kill Bill" for example, the strength of the violence is in the lack of humanity that the character manifest. He is more than an ant in this world. He is the king.Stuart Gordon has managed to create a film that, while maybe it's not one of his best efforts; it's very well done, has a VERY interesting story to tell, and manages to capture the attention every second of it.
