A Prophet (Un Prophète) film to watch

[General Duke]

The Godfather by far is one of the greatest movies in history, pat II was as good as the original, the third was quite a disappointment and should not have been done. It’s more than a Gangster flick and if one is looking for mindless action with no story or nuance then those movies are clearly not for you. La Hain again is a good film, but it can not be compared to the Godfather movies, they are of two different genres. This new movies one hopes will set a benchmark for this century.

Thanks for this thread, I hadn't heard about Un prophète

A very entertaining movie that is unpredictible.

 

It reminds me of clockers, a chess game where the poor dude outsmarts them all.

 

What I don't get is -

What is his purpose at the end?

 

Is it to get out alive?

 

To be "Cesar"?

 

To be a Muslim?

 

This movice has been nominated for an oscar.

[-Serenity-]

These Oscar nominations are a joke. I saw 'A Serious Man' and it was the most incredibly mind-numbing film I've ever had to endure in a cinema. I dont even remember what it was about!

 

Then there is the over-hyped and sorely predictable Avatar. Animations! schenimations!, it didnt do it for me at all.

 

Up in the air - again, another wasted day at the cinema. Wouldnt mind seeing it at home but definitely not Oscar worthy.

 

An education is the only film I enjoyed. Not spectacular but a well written script.

 

Overall, mostly mediocre films in most categories.

 

Planning to see the prophet soon - I hope its worth the time.

Sounds like a good movie. ^^ Get us the tickets, ma cherie.

^^^I agree most of these Oscar nominated movies were a bore, except for District 9, Invicus and I have not yet seen Hurt Locker yet.

 

Un Prophet should be coming out in the middle of February in the US.

^ The Hurt Locker is a crock of shidh. Looking forward to Un Prophete, though.

[General Duke]

^^^Thanks for the heads up, have you seen the one Jeff Bridges stars in?

[Naden]

^ Not yet but I heard some good things about it.

[General Duke]

The trailer looks good, but some critics are saying his persofmance aside its not great, though I dont much care for critics most of the time.

All the heavy shellings and desperation around Sharif Hotels, Priosn oops I meant Villa Somalia is clearly having its toll on the mental health of some people. :confused:
