Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

shakercoola A difficult film for audiences because of the deplorable violence and vanishingly small relief extended to the viewer. The flaw is one of Introspection which is one of many fiction-writing modes and conventions used to convey the thoughts of a character. The film, by portraying such brutality leaves us with merely damned people and evil people. The lack of emotional connection between director and viewer results in redundancy. The viewer does not reach an enhanced position by having understood the deeper motives form the inner dialogue of the characters.

tankace Many persons want to go in to the film industry but they usually hit the wall of big studios and the need of funds. And the independent films is a way for them to cut their teeth in and if the director, acting crew and writing team use what they have in the best way then you can get something like the now famous examples of Evil Dead(1981) , Reservoir Dogs(1992) ,Mad Max(1977), Memento (2000), The Terminator (1984) and many more and this film is also in to this category.The experienced TV director Micheal Haneke tried for the first time to direct of feature film and using his limited resources he made this small but very well paced, chilling film. In short he used his experienced working on a TV set which lacks usually space in to make feel the stress, fear and shock about this home invasion. Another great part of the film are the antagonists especially Arno Frisch due to his attitude and intelligence that makes him both intimidating dispute his slender physic and the plump body of his friend.Over all it is a very good independent film and I recommended to very film buff.

tapio_hietamaki 'Funny Games' functions as commentary on violence in movies. It is a simple story of two ostensibly polite and pleasant young men, who take a family hostage and torture and humiliate them. The audience has no escape from the situation, other than finishing the movie or turning it off.The evildoers talk directly to the camera, breaking the fourth wall, and exercise full control over the universe of the movie. They are even able to turn back time if something goes wrong for them. Our sympathies lie with the ordinary, innocent people who happened to cross paths with them, but the movie shows no mercy. It revels in the pain of the family, the pain of losing a family member, the pain of helplessness as you are forced to watch on. It asks, 'Why do we do this? What do we gain by seeing this fictional violence on screen?' and we find that we have no good reason to give.The movie is fully carried by the actors' performances. Each one is given room and freedom, each one has their moments of spotlight. The movie feels like a play: character-driven, cerebral, often told in long, wide shots.I haven't seen the American remake but I hear that it's very similar to the point of identical camera placement.

eagandersongil "The funny games" is a punch in the stomach, and we deserve it, it is to believe it will be just another one of those horror clichés filmezinhos family goes to home away from home, is a psychopath ... no, not here, the great director michael Haneke wants you to take, here we see a family being tortured physically and psychologically for anything, this family is our reflection to junk consumismos because the film is a paradox, it really is like a movie, complete with breaks and scenes of setbacks, including the breaking of the fourth wall, and who is watching this movie? us and the family. It is a brilliant critique, including the most important scene in the film, the first camera angle is to show the TV bloody, Haneke is very symbolic, complex and intelligent in his criticism because he does not want to criticize for you to forget here the 1 week, no, Haneke puts heavy scenes, though not explicit, but they need not be explicit, because you will not forget the film so soon. Technically the film is very good, with clear references to mechanical orange, Haneke tries to build DeLarge Alexander 90s, he can not, but Peter is a spectacular character, he breaks the fourth wall, it handles the film handles peter and handles They, in fact, all the performances are great, with an extremely clean photo and a sensational soundtrack, showing classical music and counterpoint with Heavy Metal. Here we have a remarkable quality film with a very intelligent and technically very effective criticism, it is worth taking that punch in the stomach.
