I think the reason people are so negative is that the first film is so well regarded.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-71806458230546220822010-05-23T16:35:18.831-04:002010-05-23T16:35:18.831-04:00Even though Burnt by the Sun 2 sucks, am I right i...Even though Burnt by the Sun 2 sucks, am I right in assuming that I should put Burnt By the Sun on my Netflix queue?Aaronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-25765578450762419012010-05-23T15:40:39.277-04:002010-05-23T15:40:39.277-04:00Here's a clip from the Palme d'Or award-wi...Here's a clip from the Palme d'Or award-winning film "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives", by Apichatpong Weerasethakul.<br /><br />http://www.france24.com/en/20100523-thai-outsider-apichatpong-weerasethakul-wins-coveted-palme-d%E2%80%99orCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012509745473551623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-4942260152341496712010-05-23T12:14:59.948-04:002010-05-23T12:14:59.948-04:00Burnt by the Sun 2 is far from being a masterpiece...Burnt by the Sun 2 is far from being a masterpiece and has very little to do with the first Oscar-winning film, but 'silent-film performances, and one of the most absolutely ridiculous scores I've ever heard in a movie' is way too much. <br />The acting was fantastic, though it has something to do with that almost every supporting role and cameo was played by Russia's greatest actors. The best performances were given by two fantastic actors - Oleg Menshikov as antagonist Mitya and Yevgeni Mironov. The score is absolutely glorious and hunting.<br />Of course the subject matter is very difficult - it's not a movie that set in war time it's a war film. During Red Cross scene I started weeping and couldn't stop until it was over. I can't remember what was the last time when I cried during a movie. The first half was fantastic I even thought that Best Foreign Film nomination is a given, conserving how much the love Mikhalkov. Then it went downhill and I perfectly understand why people hated it. I'm not surprised that reviews are so negative, since in Russia reviews were also negative or mixed.Willnoreply@blogger.com
