Sorry, this movie sucks
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Incendies is a movie starring Lubna Azabal, Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin, and Maxim Gaudette. Twins journey to the Middle East to discover their family history and fulfill their mother's last wishes. The acting is good and the cinematography looks like there has been a pretty good work with it but 'Incendies' is a very slow paced and boring drama that doesn't really do much, the message that it tries to sell also lacks dramatic depth plus with a rating so high anyone besides me would expect something wonderful and just strong but i guess this film isn't one of those strong movies. The Top 250 movies of all time has alot of junk and this one is no different i'm afraid. (0/10)
This film was just before the mass imigration from syria. The goal of this movie was probably to change ppl view on musilism ppl. They never mentionned once the word musilism, but you hear christian often, and guess who are the christians, THE EVIL PPL.Oh well, sadly im from where denis villeneuve is born and it totaly fits with tghe politic here, clearly a leftist propaganda movie
I do not want to talk about the movie's technical issues. It is apparent that it has some technical issues. But from the story of view, it is just heart hitting. After watching the movie, you feel like something big like a rock is sitting on your heart inside. It clearly makes you feel how is it like to be a middle eastern.Worth to watch even only for this part.----spoiler----Is 1+1 = 2, is 1+1=1? -----spoiler----
I have to admit that I went to watch this movie with some friends without having great expectations. As I am learning French I thought it was a good chance to hear French being spoken. I was totally wrong about this movie. While I was watching it I could not move my eyes from the screen. The plot at first seems simple. Two twins are searching for their unknown brother. But nothing in this movie is at it seems. Nice acting , suitable soundtrack. And the direction is superb in my opinion. In the end of the movie when everything come to light I was almost with my mouth open. Movies usually do not surprise me, but this one actually did. All in all I believe it's worth watching . I have watched it already twice and still I wanna watch it again. I do not know if its my favourite movie but it's definitely among my favourites.
